Galatians 3:7-9

Hi folks!

Hope you all have had a good week.  If not, it’s about to get better.  Tomorrow’s Sunday! And for our scripture reading tomorrow, we will be reading together Galatians 3:7-9. 

“Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.  And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ‘In you shall all the nations be blessed.’  So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” 

This is such a wonderful passage because it tells us that God had always intended to bring salvation to the entire world.  It tells us that the ethnic descendants of Abraham are not the only people of God, but rather the people of God, the sons and daughters of Abraham, are all those who are joined in union with Christ by faith—Jews and Gentiles.  It also reminds us and brings us great comfort to know that God justifies the Gentiles by faith.  In the Great Courtroom of God, the Judge of all the earth declares us to be not guilty—in right standing—before his Law by faith alone in Christ alone!  Praise be to God for his amazing grace and mercy and love.  I am so looking forward to worshipping with you tomorrow in the throne room of our God and King!

Blessings,

Hexon

2 Corinthians 5:20-21

Hi friends!

Tomorrow we will be reading together 2 Corinthians 5:20-21. 

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us.  We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.  For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 

In this passage we are reminded of what Christ did for us and why we should proclaim this to the world, of what the gospel is and why we need to proclaim the gospel.  The gospel (the good news) is that God made Christ “who knew no sin,” who was perfectly sinless, to be sin for us.  That is, to be treated as though he were sinful, to become the object of God’s wrath on our behalf, so that “we might become the righteousness of God” in Christ, so that we might be treated as though we are righteous and perfectly sinless. And we are to proclaim this gospel to the world because “we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us.”  God saved us not simply so that we might be delivered from the wrath to come, but so that we might go out into the world and proclaim the excellencies of him who called us.  Looking forward to worshiping with you tomorrow!

Blessings,

Hexon
