加拉太书3章 谁被接受?
In two weeks, the U .S. will vote to decide who will enter the White House as President of the United States. How will you decide? Some people rely on the party's route. The candidates recommended by the party are those they can trust and vote for.
Some people make decisions based on the candidates' views on various issues, such as defense, economy, politics, civil affairs, etc. Some people make final decisions based on the candidates' character, national, social, and human values, etc.
Some people make final decisions based on their personal feelings, opinions, etc. How will you decide who will enter the White House? Dear brothers and sisters, friends, Welcome to the October 23, 2016 Sino-Japanese War of Independence.
Today's Sino-Japanese War of Independence is recorded in Chapter 3 of the Charter. The theme of the war is who was accepted. In the workplace, if you are the final decider, how will you decide who will be accepted or hired by the company?
If you run a restaurant, how will you decide who will be hired? From another perspective, if you are the final decider, or a scholarship applicant, or a young man applying to go to university, have you ever considered how you will be accepted?
History has taught us that racial discrimination is rejected outside the workplace. 150 years ago, on the shop windows, there might have been a poster saying, Employee of the Year, Irish, No need to apply.
In 1882, the Taiwan-China Treaty rejected all Chinese workers outside the U .S. for 10 years. Black Americans also suffered the same treatment in employment, education, etc. Today, some of the factors that have made us accepted in many aspects, such as conditions, etc., may also have made us rejected outside the workplace.
This is today's policy. It is no longer based on gender or skin color, but based on academic background, expertise, experience, etc. On the other hand, it is based on family background, relationships, etc.
Brothers and sisters, I would like to ask you a question. How did you get accepted? How is your relationship with God? How is your relationship with God? Maybe some people think that this is a ridiculous question.
Unless you have committed adultery, such as Hitler, or God's people, everyone hopes to have a relationship with God, to make peace with God. But Jesus said, Those who have entered into a relationship with God, they are God's people.
But many people do not know this. Are those who have entered into a relationship with God, those who have been accepted, those who have been rejected outside the workplace? Let's look at the third chapter of the Book of Galatians, the view of St. Paul.
Those who have obtained the righteousness, have been accepted. The third chapter, the first to the last chapter. Here we have to ask, how did you receive God's blessings? The Christians of Galatia know that they are the ones who have received God's blessings.
Because they know that Jesus Christ who is nailed to the cross, is already in front of them. Paul also knows that these Christians of Galatia have received God's blessings through faith. Last week, in the second chapter of the Book of Galatians, Paul spoke to them, explaining to them that he is already nailed to the cross with Jesus Christ.
The one who is alive now, which is Paul, is no longer the one who saved people, but Jesus Christ who lives in him. That is because he believes in the Son of God. God loves him, and sacrifices himself for him.
This is Jesus Christ who is nailed to the cross. Friends of Galatians, how did you receive God's blessings? We need to know that through faith. The Christ who is nailed to the cross is already in front of us.
We don't need to rely on any religious rituals, any form of regulations, or any hardship to receive God's blessings. We can continue to see how we receive God's blessings. This is the second key point of this passage.
We need to rely on the Holy Spirit. Galatians received God's blessings through faith. This is the fifth key point. They received God's blessings through faith. This is the second key point. They accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.
They received God's blessings through faith. This is the fifth key point. They started with the Holy Spirit. They followed the Holy Spirit. They followed the Holy Spirit and followed the fruit of life.
They followed the way of God. They listened to His Word. They were with Him in prayer. They loved others as they loved themselves. They had hope and God's glory. They were with Him. This is what the Holy Spirit did.
Brothers and sisters, how did you receive God's blessings? It was through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gradually came into contact with the fruit of life. You will know that you received God's blessings You will live out the life of Jesus Christ.
Here is a summary. The Galatians believed in the word of God they heard. That is, Jesus Christ who was nailed to the cross. They accepted the Holy Spirit. They were accepted and received God's blessings.
But at the same time, Paul was surprised. The Galatians were bewildered. Paul looked at their faces. Paul repeatedly asked them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit by following the Law? The second question.
Did you follow the Holy Spirit? I think this is referring to their changes in their lives. Did you follow the Law? The fifth question. Did you receive salvation through the Body of Christ? Did you receive salvation through the Gospels?
Did you follow the Law strictly? Did you follow the Law strictly? Did you receive salvation through the Gospels? This is Paul's question to them. These Galatians, when they started with the Holy Spirit, they suffered a lot because they did not follow the truth.
They suffered a lot. It is indescribable. Now, the Galatians are bewildered. They leave the truth. Paul asks them, Did you suffer so much for nothing? I'm afraid you really did suffer for nothing. The fourth question.
Paul sighed and said, So, we can ask here, how did you receive salvation? How did you receive salvation? Just like Abraham, from chapter 6 to 9, in Genesis 15, Elijah said to Abraham, He said to him, Look up to heaven, count the stars, and you will see how many of them there are.
Abraham believed in Elijah, and Elijah took this as his will. Genesis 15, 5 -6. Abraham received God's blessings and grace. What did he receive? Did he receive a boon? No. Did he receive salvation? No, because he did not receive salvation.
Then, what did he receive? It was because of Abraham's faith. Only when you believe, will you receive salvation. Only when you believe, will you be able to stand before God. This is how you receive salvation.
In the past 200 years, the Ten Commandments, also known as Dispensationalism, their point of view is God's will. It is through facts. That is, they are the Jews, and they are God's chosen people. It is God's will.
Only those who are born Jews are truly God's chosen people. Is that so? No. Paul said this in the 7th chapter. Those who have faith are God's chosen people. Only through facts are you truly God's chosen people.
The Jews at the time, and the contemporary Jews of today, their way of receiving salvation is through the Law of Law. You have to rely on the Law of Law to receive salvation. But Paul said in the 8th chapter, that you must first pass on the good news, that is, the good news of salvation.
Before you fully understand this, God explained to Abraham, saying, All nations will be blessed because of you. Salvation is in this promise. Because Jesus is the one who fulfills this promise. The Savior is you.
The Savior is you when you believe in Jesus and the promise that he will fulfill. Or the promise that he will fulfill. I will say it again. The Savior is you when you believe in Jesus and the promise that he will fulfill.
I will say it again. There is no one in the Old Testament who was saved through the Law of Law. No one in the Old Testament was saved through the Law of Law. Those who were saved through the Law of Law were accepted by the Lord Jesus Christ.
They were the people of God. They were blessed by God. Dear brothers and sisters, Are you accepted by God? Are you blessed by God through the Law of Law? The second point is the Lord. It is recorded in the 10th to 14th chapter of today's Testament.
What will happen to those who were saved through the Law of Law? They were under the Lord. They were not blessed by God. Paul says in the 10th chapter, All those who were saved through the Law of Law were under the Lord.
Paul continues, In the 27th chapter of the Old Testament, It is recorded in the Book of Psalms, All those who did not follow the Law of Law were condemned. All those who followed the Law of Law broke the Law.
Because no one could completely follow every rule of the Law of Law. Even if you care or not care, as long as you do not follow any rule of the Law of Law, you will not follow everything. You will live under the Lord.
You will not be accepted as the people of God. Therefore, all those who followed the Law of Law came to the Kingdom of Heaven. No matter how devout they were, how faithful they were, how obedient they were to the Church, how high their ethics and morals were, as long as they did not follow the Law of Law, they would fail.
They would be condemned. Because the Law of Law was not based on faith. Those who followed the Law of Law were condemned to death. On the contrary, they were condemned to death. It is very clear that in front of God, no one can be judged by the Law of Law.
This is the 11th chapter of the Book of Psalms. So how can you not live under the Lord? In the 11th chapter of the Book of Psalms, Paul says, A man must be born out of faith. That is to say, to be born out of faith.
Those who are in harmony with God must be born out of faith. So brothers and sisters, sisters and friends, you are born out of faith. You are saved out of faith. It is because you are in harmony with God.
You believe in what Jesus has done for you. So you must ask, What did Jesus do for me? Paul says in the 11th chapter of the Book of Psalms, Those who are hanging from the tree are all condemned. Jesus Christ is the Almighty God.
He was nailed to the cross and was condemned for us. That is to say, He saved us from the curse of the Law of Law. He saved us from the curse of sin and death. Why did He do this? Of course, it was the will of the Father God.
He and Abraham had a covenant. Abraham's blessing was in Jesus Christ leading the non-Jews. That is the 11th chapter. It was on us. Who are we? We are not Jews. We do not believe in doctrines, or in facts, or in suffering, or in the law, etc.
We are not Jews. We are here to receive God's blessing. So what should we do? Paul once again said to the Galatians, that is to say, we should receive God's blessing. Brothers and sisters, how should we prepare ourselves to believe in Jesus Christ who saved us from the curse of sin and to receive God's blessing?
The third point, God's blessing, is recorded in the 15th to 22nd chapter. God's blessing was given to Abraham and his family in the 16th chapter. Paul said, God did not say to give to all, as if to give to all, but to give to one.
Who is this one? It is Jesus Christ. In the first chapter of Matthew, it says that Jesus Christ is Abraham's blessing. God has given Abraham and Jesus Christ's blessing. It does not matter what race, color, language, etc.
As long as people believe and hear God's blessing, they will have the confidence to become Abraham's descendants and receive God's blessing and Abraham's blessing. Paul further clarifies, God created the law first.
Although it was created by man, no one can abolish it or increase it. Even if the law was created 130 years later, it cannot abolish the law. God is the God of truth, the God of righteousness. He did not create the law to make the law void.
God's law does not care about the law, which is the law of attack. It is not based on this fact. You may ask, why do we need the law? Martin Luther said, the law is to show us that we have not yet broken the shackles of sin.
Paul also said, the law is to show us that we have not yet broken the shackles of sin. The law is to show us that we have not yet broken the shackles of sin. But it is not to show us the path to eternal life.
Even if you strictly follow these laws, the law is to show us that we have not yet broken the shackles of sin. You may say, with all our efforts, we have not yet broken the shackles of sin. Your life is at stake.
Even if you strictly follow the law, you have not yet received God's blessings. It is a waste of your life. Brothers and sisters, friends, how can you be blessed with the blessing of God and Abraham by the word of God?
Fourth, the release of freedom. It is recorded in chapter 23 -29 of the Bible. Before the truth of God came to us, Paul said in the first few chapters, the law is to show us that we have not yet broken the shackles of sin.
It is like a signboard that says, you cannot steal. Because that is a forbidden area, a dangerous area, and so on. We are imprisoned under the law. Even if we strictly follow the law, we are still trapped in this forbidden area.
Within the forbidden area, there is no way out. In this way, the law becomes our initiator. It guides us to do what we should not do. Before the truth of God came to us, in chapter 23, before you receive God's blessings, the law is your initiator.
It leads us to Christ, so that we can receive God's blessing. In chapter 24, if we are led to the corner of the cross, but because of our unhappiness, we do not believe in God, we do not accept God's blessings, we are still trapped under the law.
On the contrary, the truth of God's blessings is that since the Lord Jesus came to Christ, and received the curse for us, we accepted it We are no longer trapped under the law. In chapter 24, did you get set free Paul summarizes in chapter 26 -29, because of our faith, in Christ Jesus, we became the Son of God.
We became one. We received the curse. Those who entered Christ were all Christians, not Jews or Syrians, Asians or Westerners, men or women. There were no more nobles or free people. Because we belong to Christ.
That is the promise of Abraham, to bear the curse of God, to bear the curse of God. Brothers and sisters, friends, accepting God's family is not based on family, or credit, or a good performance, or a single law.
Accepting God's family is the only way, which is to believe in Christ, to place our faith in Him, regardless of Jewish or foreign people, skin color, religion, etc. In Christ Jesus, we are one. He set us free from the law.
He set us free from the curse of law. Jesus is Abraham, who believed in God's promise to bear the curse of God. How do we accept God's commandment? Only by faith, by believing in Jesus Christ. Thank you for listening.
