Rev 4:11; Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.

 

Proverbs 16:4; The Lord hath made all things for Himself: Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

 

Jer.27:5. I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it unto to whom it seemed meet unto Me.

 

So can someone who turns away from our True loving Father, to worship idols such as a false messiah, please Him? Absolutely not, so how do we please Him? By believing on Christ as Saviour, and getting into a study of His Word, doing our best to follow His Commandments. And though our flesh can't be perfect in His Commandments, our heart and mind can be perfect (mature) with our Father.

     And you, who love His Word Jesus Christ, are very beloved to our Father. Because you have a yearning to know His Truth which sets us free from the bondage of flesh and Satan's false empire. Because of that 'urge' for Truth, you will not be deceived by this false messiah who the majority of the world will accept as Jesus.

 

 

Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

     That Promise first given to Abraham by GOD was with regard to Salvation through Jesus Christ. All who believe on Christ are included in that 'tent' Promise of Salvation.

 

Gal 4:29   But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

     Even TODAY those who refuse to worship the things of this world are persecuted by those who rely on the flesh. Just how many places in the world can one go and start up a deep conversation such as Paul is speaking here?

                                                     Even in the Western Christian Nations some who want to conduct public worship are being harassed, which is against our Constitutional rights. Many non believers, who think they are neutral, but are duped by the false ones, are joining the boat against Christianity. "Oh it’s those darn Christians again; they try to force their belief on everyone." We know that is one of Satan's propaganda lies, as we don't force anyone to believe on Christ. There will be much shame when Christ comes.

 

Gal 4:30   Nevertheless what saith the Scripture? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman."
31    So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

     If you accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour, then you are no longer in bondage, for Christ sets us free from all those hang-ups of ritual and ceremonial dogma. If any man or 'system' tries to put shackles on your belief in Christ, then know that is bondage back to The Law, and not Salvation.
     So which choice do you take; to be of the 'bondwoman', or of the 'freewoman' in Christ? To be joint-heirs of GOD's future New Jerusalem, we must be of the Covenant given to the 'freewoman', being in Christ.

Peace be with you in Christ Jesus,
Dave Ramey.
