Because He Chose To Be Different

You chose to be different. You chose Jesus. You chose to walk according to the Word even when others and the world said differently. You have led men young and old. Through your love and actions you have taught many of them who Jesus is. You are one of the most respected men because of your love for Christ. You chose to raise your babies in the Word of God and teach them the importance of being men of courage, love, and men of integrity who are passionate about Jesus. There are many men, many dads, but you my love are a rare one. You are amazing. Your love for Jesus is contagious. Your love for us is astounding, breath-taking and marvelous. Thank you for choosing Jesus. Thank you for teaching our boys the most important things, to love Christ first, your family second, and others third.

Your Need for Christ

S-The Purpose of the Law

S-"So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." Galatians 5:1

A-God's Promise

L-Why. It's Purpose. God's Plan

 "Well then, why was the law given? It was given to show people how guilty they are. But this system of law was to last only until the coming of the child to whom God's promise was made. And there is this further difference. God gave his laws to angels to give to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.  Now a mediator is needed if two people enter into an agreement, but God acted on his own when he made his promise to Abraham." Galatians 3:19-20

Here is how God broke this down for me.

God's plan: Was to point to Christ from the beginning.

The Law: Was to to reveal our need for a Savior. Christ was the Savior that became the ultimate sacrifice.

When Christ died, He set us free from the law, the law which reveals our sinfulness.

He then became the one and only mediator for us. He became the sacrifice-He tore the veil and made way for us to enter the Most Holy place where God dwells.

"For there is only one God and one mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone." 1 Timothy 2:5

In the Old Testament, Moses was the mediator between God and the people. The angels were the mediator between God and Moses.

But when God entered into an agreement with Abraham, He did it on His own. He made that promise directly to Abraham. He did not use a mediator.

That is where the difference comes in. Abraham received God's promises because of his faith.

Do you recognize your need for Christ? Do you know you can enter the Most Holy Place at anytime and meet with God?

S-Tell someone how they too, can receive God's promises through faith in Christ.
