398 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 1 - Part 2 - Book 34 - Our Position After Salvation - Part 2

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 34 OUR POSITION AFTER SALVATION - PART 2 I'm only here to teach the Word of God. Now our study begins in Galatians Chapter 4 and we were finishing verse 4 when we closed the last lesson. Galatians 4:4 "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law." That verse falls in line with what I have stressed over and over and that is that Christ's earthly ministry was under the Law of Moses. Never did they realize that Christ's earthly ministry was under the Law. Luke 18:31-34 God kept it secret even though He said it out in plain language. John 20:8-9 Galatians 4:5 "To redeem (buy back, pay the price) for them that were under the law, that we (the whole world) might receive the adoption (position) of sons." Now, let's go back to Romans. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Verse 24. Romans 3:24 "Being justified freely by his grace (how could he justify us?) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Redemption is the process of buying us back. Why did God have to buy something back? You cannot get it back and have control of that, whatever it is, until you pay the price of redemption. The reason God had to pay a price of redemption, first for Israel, nationally, and for the whole world in general, was because that which was once God's - He lost it. The book of redemption, because what is God doing? Now for the whole world population in general, He paid the price with His own Blood. The Cross of Calvary is where Christ paid the price of redemption. When Adam sinned, the whole human race fell under the control of Satan. And so He has paid the price of redemption for how many? You've heard me stress for the last several months on the programs, that when Christ died, He paid the price for every human being's sin. He has paid the price of redemption for everyone. Now back to Romans Chapter 3. So He has justified the believer, freely, because of that price that He paid to bring them back from under the control of Satan. Now verse 25. Romans 3:25a "Whom (speaking of Christ Jesus) God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,...." Why the Blood in this verse? Because the Blood is the price of redemption. Now verse 26 and what beautiful language - Romans 3:26 "To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:(God's righteousness) that he (God) might be just, and the justifier of him which (what?) believeth..." Now verse 5. Galatians 4:5 "To redeem them that were under the law, (which was Israel. This adoption could never happen without the price of redemption. Now let's go back to Romans Chapter 3 and we'll look at a different verse. Romans 3:19a Romans 3:19b "...that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God." The whole human race! Not just Israel. Now back to Romans 3:19. Romans 3:19b "...that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God." Now verse 20 and I love these two verses to show people that all their law-keeping, all their good works, all their legalism, will be for nothing, because - Romans 3:20a Romans 3:20b "...for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Because by the keeping of the Law, is no flesh justified. Now let's move on in the moments we have left, to verse 6 of Galatians 4. Now then, since it's established that the Law could not save, but that the work of the Cross has redeemed us and as soon as we are redeemed we are placed by the right of adoption into that place of full maturity in the Body of Christ. Let's go to Ephesians Chapter 1 and verse 5 for the other concept. And that concept is that the moment that we're saved God puts us right up in that place of full responsibility like this tutored son. Ephesians 1:5a "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto Himself,..." Now God has predestined us. Peter is preaching on the day of Pentecost and he's preaching to the Nation of Israel, still under the Law. "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; (did those Jews know their Old Testament? Nothing in all of God's working was unknown to that predeterminate counsel of God back there in eternity past. The Triune God saw everything and that's beyond our human comprehension. Let's look at verses 4 & 5 again - Galatians 4:4b-5 "...God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." People are finally understanding that it's only through the revelations to this apostle that we now understand that eternal purpose of God in the crucifixion and in calling out that body of Gentiles, which we call the Church. Not under the Law, but under grace. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
