Understanding What Faith Is. Part 36. by PastorSomba(m): 7:44pm On Jan 22, 2023
UNDERSTANDING WHAT FAITH IS. Part 36.

Galatians 3:10-11 (KJV) "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith."

36. Since the law could not minister life, it could not minister righteousness. The bible says Galatians 3:21 (KJV) "Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe." Since the law could not minister righteousness it ministered unrighteousness and condemnation.

Righteousness exist only in the spirit because God the only righteous one is a spirit. In Christ Jesus we became living spirits and we become the righteousness of God in Him. Whatever cannot minister to the spirit can never produce righteousness. Whatever cannot minister to the spirit is ministering to the flesh. The law being able to minister only to the flesh produced sin instead of righteousness. It magnified sin and condemned all men under sin so that the promise by faith and by the faith of Jesus Christ might be made available to all who believe. Hence only the righteousness of faith and by faith is accepted by God.

Instead of the law ministering to our spirit, it was able to minister only to our flesh and our fleshly minds. The law blinded the minds of the people because it had no light in it. So instead of achieving the light of righteousness through the law, the law unconsciously aided the devil through the flesh to blind the minds of men from the light of the glorious gospel of Christ. So the same law that was given to help man became a big burden and a yoke for man. Hence man needed a Saviour. The word of God is light and the light that lighted every man that comes into the world. But when the law was introduced it blinded the light as symbolised by the veil that Moses wore each time he read the law to the people.

The law indirectly became a veil to the light that comes with the word of grace. This is a note of warning of what the law will do in the heart and minds of believers who try to go back to the law to seek righteousness or holiness. In Christ Jesus the veil has been removed such that as the scripture says 2Corinthians 3:16-18 (KJV) "Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." Grace be with you. Galatians 2:20; 3:1-29; 2Corinthians 3:6-18; 4:3-4; Romans 3:19-26; 7:1-25; 8:1-17; John 1:1-5;

If you need healing the bible says in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Heaven is real, Hell is real. Jesus is coming very soon. Judgement Day is coming. But you can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: Father God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed the prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you. To Jesus be all the glory.
