Continuing to learn about the NEW COVENANT
2 Cov. – The old Cov.---The law
The New COv.- Grace and faith in JESUS
This morning you are going to learn- once you’re saved-
DON”T NEED THE 10 COMM.
MIXING THE 2—IS IN VIOLATION OF THE WHOLE BIBLE
Gen. 22:16-18
God made a promise to Abraham- People lump these 2 together
God here is speaking of 2 different things
A NATURAL INHERITANCE- Sand
A SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE- STARS
2 different things- Moses through Ishmael- SAND
Abraham through ISAAC- brought forth a PROMISE
TO YOU AND TO ME
Galatians 4
Abraham had two kids- Ishmael & Isaac
God came to Abraham and Sarah- you’re gonna have a kid- 90 and 80
“There ain’t enough Viagra in Jerusalem to make that happen”
Sarah had an idea- HAGAR- THEIR SLAVE- ISHMAEL
That wasn’t natural- Sarah taking God’s matters into her own hands
Ishmael was a beautiful Boy- The son of Abraham
“THAT”S WHAT THEY DID BACK THEN”----whatever
THAT”S WEIRD---WHAT IF I SAID THAT
10 years later- God shows up and says remember that son---WHAT!!!!
I made you a PROMISE
ROMANS 4: 19And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
To this 100 yr old man and 90 year old woman God gives ISAAC
THE PROMISE
How do we know it was the promise:
1. Totally from God—Quit working for your miracle
2. Absolutely Impossible—Quit thinking up your miracle
3. Used 2 least likely people-AGE- FAITH- EVEN THO THEY GOOFED
2 kids- 2 ways- 1 PROMISE
Galatians 4:21-Galatians 5:1 “IT IS FOR FREEDOM…”
Abraham had two sons----BY 2 DIFFERENT WOMEN
1. Hagar- We had never heard of Hagar before this
SHE WASN’T ABRAHAMS WIFE
SHE WASN’T PART OF THE PROMISE
SHE WAS A SLAVE- SHE DIDN”T HAVE A CHOICE
HE SAYS THIS IS HOW THE LAW WORKS
DOESN’T MAKE YOU THE BRIDE
DOESN’T” MAKE YOU PART OF THE PROMISE
DOESN”T SET YOU FREE- MAKES YOU A SLAVE—
YOU HAVE TO
2. SARAH-
THE BRIDE---THE PROMISE---SHE WAS FREE
SHE SLEPT WITH ABRAHAM BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO
So when I say----I don’t need the law---HE”S a heretic—false prophet- jim jones
VS 29—people of the flesh will hate my freedom
They’ll hate that I’m born after the Spirit
They’ll hate me-- My mama’s free- not a slave---
They’ll hate I got what
I got from a promise- not Working my flesh
VS 31- we are not children of a slave but of a free woman
Vs 1- says- IT IS FOR FREEDOM – CHRIST HAS MADE US FREE
Galatians 3:1-2>>>>Galatians 3:13>>>>>
Galatians 3:24-25—Need the law till were saved- Then we don’t need it
