Once we receive Christ we become a new creation. We will not be a new creation as we develop and mature in faith. We are a new creation now. There is not we can do to become a new creation. Christ done the full job. If we believe that to become a new creation we have to mature in faith, we are saying the cross wasn’t enough. But if we are free the first minute we receive Christ, why so many Christians live in chains? We will close this Study on Galatians answering this question.
Legalism tell us we must change our behavior to know Christ. Scripture tells us we first come to Christ, then He changes us inside out. Very different concepts.

We are going to continue our study on Galatians - chapter 4. In this chapter, Paul talks about Hagar & Sarah. If you are not familiar with their story in the Old Testament, I’m going to bring you up to speed. Abraham & Sarah were married, they were old (almost 100), and never had children. God promised them they would have a son and many descents (as much as stars in the sky).
They had to wait 15 years for this promise, and during this 15 years they lost hope, and Sarah suggested that Abraham would have a son with their slave Hagar. He did, and she gave birth to Ishmael.
God wasn’t happy with Abraham trying to do things his way, but in due time God fulfilled His promises, because that’s what God does. And Sarah gave birth to Isaac.
When Isaac was little, Ishmael made fun of him, and Sarah got really upset. God told Abraham to tell Hagar and Ishmael to live. God would take care of them, but God wanted to show that when we live in God’s truth we are free, but when we live by our own choices, we are slaves.
In Galatians 4:28 Paul says that Isaac represents the son born by the power of the Spirit, and Ishmael represents the son born according to the flesh. Scripture tells us to - Get rid of the slave women and her son, for the slave women’s son will never share the inheritance with the free woman’s son.
These scriptures are not justifying any physical slavery. It is 100% talking about spiritual slavery.
What Paul is saying, along with all the scriptures in Genesis, is that we are children of the free woman, which means - He are children of God. We are not slaves. But that is a verse that gets overlooked - verse 30 Get rid of the slave women and her son, for the slave women’s son will never share the inheritance with the free woman’s son.
Scripture is telling us we have to get rid of our baggage. Get rid of what is holding us in bondage. Get rid of the open doors that allows Satan to get into us. That will look different to each one of us, because we may struggle with different sins, but at the end of the day, the process of cleaning the house is the same.
In this episode we go over 2 steps to help you get rid of the chains.

Christ has truly set us free, let's talk about what real freedom means.
]]>
During the month of May we talked about the good news. We talked about how all humanity are born into sin because we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Because of that we are born in bondage, in chains, without freedom. Long story short, those who believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and resurrected on the third day, were giving the right to be child of God. That’s the deal: have faith, become child of God. It’s not about what you do, which behaviors you have, but about the works of Christ and your faith in Him.
Most christians believe that when we receive Christ we die from our past life, but truth is we were already spiritually dead without Christ, and when we receive Christ we gain life, now and to eternity.
When the Bible say we die, it is because we die for our past chains. The sin we had no longer have power over us. We gain the strength of Christ to fight our earthly battles.
God created us to be both a material self and an immaterial self (let’s call it body and soul, just for the sake of this conversation). Before knowing Christ, our body is alive, but our soul is dead. We belong to this world, and to the master of this world. We are not free. We are actually controlled by our sins. But Christ bought us with the cross, and once we believe that truth, we no longer belong to Satan, we belong to Christ.
We become children of God. And with that we are free from sin, we are free to be someone new and let the old die. We are free to stop doing all the things we know we shouldn’t be doing, that doesn’t give us joy, but we can’t stop without the strength from Christ. We are free because we receive the power of the Holy Spirit.

]]>When Paul wrote this letter, the Christian jews were preaching that once you accepted Christ, you must be circumcised and start following the Jewish law to be saved.
Two thousand years later, and we still have this issue. Not with Jewish laws, but with legalistic views of those who preach changed behavior as a must for salvation.
In this episode we talk about the introduction to Galatians.

Believing God exists and following Him are two very different things. In order to follow God we must be transformed in our hearts, by the renewing of our minds. In this episode we are talking about the true heart transformation that comes when we decide to make Jesus the leader of our lives.

God made a way for us to be one with Him. That way is thru Jesus. When we believe that He is God incarnated, and He died on the cross to pay for our sins so we can be reunited with God and live in freedom, we go beyond behavior change. We have heart transformation. When we TRULY believe we go from spiritually dead to alive. Eternal life starts then (not when we die). In this episode we are digging deep into this truth.

As I was going to an anxiety crisis, I said it out loud “I just need to wake up earlier and spend some time alone with God”, and I heard the Holy Spirit whispering in my ears “you don’t need to do anything to bring God to you, He is already here”.
Am I trying to prove that I’m worthy of my calling because of my works? Probably. Is that why I’m so anxious? 99.9% sure.
