Redeemed from the curse of the Law

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us” (Gal. 3:13); this having opened the way “that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” (v. 14).

One of the most embarrassing situations for any businessman is to find out he has lost vast sums of money needlessly or to learn of assets he could have been enjoying for years simply because he did not know the fullness of the contracts he had entered into.

There's a story of a poor man who scrimped and saved every cent until he could buy a ticket on a great ship to come to America. He only had enough money left to buy some cheese and a little bread to eat on the trip. He would gaze longingly into the dining rooms and watch the people eat the beautiful food and enjoy themselves so. On the morning of their New York arrival, one of the ship's officers asked the man if they had offended him in any way since he had not eaten his meals with them. "Oh, no!" the man replied. "I only had enough money to pay for my ticket. I didn't have enough to eat in the dining rooms." The officer looked at the man almost in unbelief and said, "Sir, I'm so sorry. Your meals were included in your fare."

So many Christian people are living on bread and cheese when God's best is theirs all the time. They don't know the terms of their contract, their covenant—the New Testament. I believe this blog will help you find out what belongs to you in your Covenant with Jesus.

Redeemed from the Curse of the Law - 3

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; ...... Remember that according to 1 Peter 1:18-20, we've been redeemed from the curse of the law by the blood of Jesus. We were initially not entitled to the blessings pronounced in the bible to the Israelites, being considered as gentiles or heathen, but when Christ came he removed the middle wall of separation. This meaning that  we who were considered gentiles in the flesh are now equally entitled to the covenant blessings of Abraham. 11.Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands-- 12.that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13.But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14.For He Himself is our peac

The Pride of Nazareth

Jesus and Nazareth are inseparable. Jesus spent most of his life in Nazareth. The prophets had said, "He shall be called a Nazarene" (Matthew 2:23). History would remember him as Jesus of Nazareth. Even the demons called him that (Luke 4:34). That's why this verse is one of the saddest in the Bible: And he did not do many mighty works [in Nazareth], because of their unbelief.  (Matthew 13:58) It's a great irony that the Pride of Nazareth was rejected by the Nazarenes because of pride. Can you believe this? Joseph the carpenter's son thinks he's a prophet! Well, we know his family and they're respectable enough people. But I know for a fact that he didn't receive any formal religious education. Where is he getting this teaching of his? Does he really think he's somebody great? They were deeply offended (Matthew 13:57). Why? Because he was one of them. So if he thought he was superior to them, he had better think again. Jesus knew familia

Biblical perspective of work for Employees

Employees’ responsibilities The life of Daniel as recorded in the biblical book of Daniel illustrates eight characteristics that made him a good and godly employee. The following are those eight characteristics. Work as if working for the Lord.  We actually are serving the Lord in our work; we are not serving people. In essence, we work for the Lord. If employees know and believe this, slothfulness can be greatly diminished.  Work hard.   “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might”  (Ecclesiastes 9:10). In Scripture, hard work and diligence are encouraged; laziness is condemned. “He also who is slack in his work is brother to him who destroys”  (Proverbs 18:9).  However, hard work must be balanced by other primary priorities of life: relationship with Christ, spouse, and family. If work interferes with any of these three relationships, you are working too much. Be honest.  Employees should not give cause for their employers ever to question or doubt their hon
