ON TIME

GALATIANS 4:5

INTRODUCTION:

GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME. WHEN THE FULNESS OF TIME REFERS TO THE COMPLETION OF THE PERIOD OF PREPARATION IN GOD’S SOVEREIGN

TIMETABLE OF REDEMPTION. WHEN THE LAW HAD FULLY ACCOMPLISHED IT’S PURPOSE OF SHOWING MAN HIS SIN AND INABILITY TO LIVE UP TO GOD’S PERFECT STANDARD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, GOD USHERED IN A NEW ERA OF REDEMPTION. " HE SENT FORTH HIS SON".

JESUS WAS BORN WHEN EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT FOR HIS APPEARING:

(1) THE TIME WAS RIGHT RELIGIOUSLY: ISRAEL ONCE AND FOR ALL FORSOOK WORSHIPING IDOLS.

(2) THE TIME WAS RIGHT CULTURALLY: ALEXANDER THE GREAT HAD ESTABLISHED GREEK CULTURE AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT THE KNOWN WORLD.

(3) THE TIME WAS RIGHT POLITICALLY: ROME HAD PROVIDED PEACE ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICALLY. PREACHERS AND TEACHERS COULD TRAVEL FREELY AND SAFELY THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE. "GOD KNEW WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT".

"WHEN THE FULNESS OF THE TIME WAS COME".

POINT 1: HOW IMPATIENT WE BECOME WHEN THINGS DON’T WORK OUT AS PLANNED. WHEN IT SEEMS OUR PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED WHEN DIFFICULTIES PRESIST. GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME.

THE BIBLE IS A WITNESS TO GOD’S ALWAYS BEING ON TIME.

(1) JOSEPH SOLD INTO SLAVERY

(2) MOSES BEING PLUCKED OUT OF THE WATER, RAISED IN EGYPT.

(3) THE RED SEA OPENED JUST IN TIME, BECAUSE GOD IS ON TIME.

GOD WAS RIGHT ON TIME WITH THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.

GOD WILL ALSO BE RIGHT ON TIME WITH THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. (DONT’T KNOW WHEN.)

HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME. HE IS ON TIME IN WORKING IN OUR LIVES.

YOU ARE NOT HERE BY ACCIDENT.

GOD SENT FORTH HIS SON MADE OF A WOMAN, MADE UNDER THE LAW, ON TIME THAT YOU AND I MIGHT RECEIVE THE ADOPTION OF SONS.

GOD WANT TO CHANGE PEOPLE FROM WHAT THEY ARE TO WHAT THEY CAN BE!

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

JESUS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

YOU CAN ONLY BE WHAT YOU OUGHT TO BE THROUGH HIS POWER.
