UNDERSTANDING WHAT FAITH IS. Part 42.

Galatians 3:16-19,22-29 (KJV) Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator...

42. There Was No Inheritance Under the Law: Galatians 3:22-29 (KJV) "But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

Another reason why faith was not revealed in the old testament and the law was not of faith was because the law had no promise of inheritance. The law was not made for children but for servants. Laws are not made for sons but for servants. A son is only guided by laws while he is still a child. When he is grown up he lives in liberty but with responsibility. An inheritance is a free gift of grace from a father to his children. Faith only works where there is an inheritance, not where you have to work to be blessed or work for the blessing. In Luke 15:11-32, the prodigal son got his inheritance by faith and returned back home by faith even though he failed and was welcomed back by the father. But the elder brother had a slave mentality, so he was working to earn an inheritance, as a result he had nothing but bitterness, anger and envy.

The law did not provide blessings and promises by inheritance or based on inheritance. The law provided promises and blessings based on works and performance of the law. Under the law there are no entitlements. Under the law there were no inheritance. The law had no provision for sonship. The law saw all men as servants and slaves. The law saw all men as transgressors or sinners who must work their way to righteousness before they can be accepted or blessed. There were no inheritance under the law because there were no sons. Under the law no one was a son, but all were servants called to work and serve in order to be rewarded. Inheritance belongs only to sons. Inheritance is the entitlement or birth right of all sons. Grace be with you. Galatians 4:1-7; 5:1,13 2Corinthians 1:20; Ephesians 1:3,11-14; Romans 4:1-16; Deuteronomy 28:1-60; Numbers 23:25-26; 1Peter 2:16; 1Timothy 1:9; Romans 6:15-23;

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.
