“HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE!”

 “HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE!”

Galatians 3:25-28                          (ESV)

“25 But now that FAITH HAS COME, we are NO LONGER UNDER A GUARDIAN,

26 for in CHRIST JESUS you are all sons of GOD, through FAITH.

27 For as many of you as were baptized into CHRIST have put on CHRIST.

28 There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is neither SLAVE nor FREE, there is no MALE and FEMALE, for you are ALL ONE in CHRIST JESUS.

29 And if you are CHRIST's, then you are Abraham's offspring, “HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE”.”

WORDS are NOT simply words!  They are used to love, comfort, exhort and uplift when needed, and gratefully so.  But they can also be used hurt, destroy and divide, used by “the enemy”, who seeks to steal, kill and destroy.  

The general population of “this world” cannot understand that a solution has been provided by OUR CREATOR to ALL the problems that mankind faces, HIS NAME is JESUS!  EYES of humanity have to be OPENED, and only THE FATHER can do that (Acts 26:18).  THE ONLY solution for ALL issues is Spiritual, not WORDS generated within the minds of man.  

For the NATURAL MAN, SEEING the answer to a SPIRITUAL problem is “folly to him” (1 Corinthians 2:14-16).  Governments can spend untold monies, demand actions be corrected, and dream up laws in an attempt to avoid discord, but JESUS is THE answer to ALL problems, especially when we cannot find the solutions in our own hearts and minds.  JEW, GREEK, SLAVE, FREE, MALE and FEMALE, we are ALL one in CHRIST JESUS!  

Those whose SPIRITUAL EYES have been OPENED have to remember that they were once Spiritually blind and could not SEE the futility of being Spiritually Mature.  We are created to GLORIFY GOD, even in the face of persecution.  But we are NOT CREATED to remain the way we were born.  Ideally, a baby matures from total dependence into being self-sufficient adult.  Hardships and difficulties are used to mature us.  We need to remember that “those who are blind” do not even know that they cannot SEE.  Until THE FATHER DRAWS THEM into HIS fold they will NEVER be “HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE”!  Romans 10:14 says “How then will they (unbelievers) call on HIM in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in HIM of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?”  Don’t ever give up on those who are yet to be DELIVERED.  Their EYES have yet to be OPENED to SEE that they are “HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE”!!!
