CAUTION! This piece you are about to read is strictly for believers in Christ Jesus only! If you are not yet born again, quickly become one before you read further. Its an eyes opener to who Christians are in Christ Jesus. Tina came from a wealthy family. She lost her parents @ the age of 3 in a ghasly car accident. While His father was struggling between life & death, knowing that he would not survive it, he was able to speak with His lawyer for a will that will favour Tina being the only daughter of the family. But, all things he got wont be handed over to her until she clocks 30 years of age. Her Father believes that @ that time, she should have matured. Because He had so many businesses & estates, he told the lawyer to loan it out to a friends whom they both went to school together. The deal was that any proceeds (gains) procured on these businesses should go to this friend & this would have to go on for 30yrs, until Tina matured to direct the activities of the estates herself. He then pleaded with his friend that one thing he would required of him to do for him, he said, his friend should give Tina the best education & should look after her. He included in the will that His friend would as well be free from this responsibily when Tina clocks 30 years of age. These were their agreements & both parties (Tinas father & his friend) agreed & signed the necessary documents. What is an explanation of this? Tinas father is Jesus Christ. Tina is any born again Christian The friend is the tutors i.e. laws of God & of the land (government). The lawyer is the Holy spirit. This story was translated from the book of Gal 4:1-5, it reads: an heir (Tina or any believer in Jesus), as long as he is a child(not yet matured like Tina), different nothing from a servant (unbelievers or destitutes). But he is under tutors (friend of Tinas father or the 10 commandments of God) & governors (law of the land- government, school authority etc.) until the appointed time (the time Tina would clock 30 or the time of the new testament). Even we (Christians) when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world (the 10 commandments). But when the fullness of the time comes, God sent forth His Son (Jesus) made of a woman (i.e born of virgin Mary) & made under the law (subjected under the laws to fulfil them all) to redeem them that were under the law (christians) that we might receive the adoption of Sons (saved by faith) So many times, the Church preaches over & over even to the born again their needs to be righteous, as if our righteousness depends on what we do for God or His laws we keep. The church constantly stress this until the people of the congregation (born again) forget who they are in Christ Jesus. There is need for the Church to constantly remind the Sons of who they are in Christ Jesus because they often forget this: That Christ have already made us in the likeness of His righteousness. Righteousness should not be portrayed as future tense base on how Chritians lives their lives after they become born again but on the contrary, they should be told (and christian should know themselves) that they have thesame righteounes with God the day they become born again. Christian should know & should be told that the laws (10 commandments) are not given to them to fulfil so that they might be righteous, but on the contrary, it was given unto them as tutor, to show them that they are sinful & to prepare them until the death of Jesus Christ when the law will then be let go of by faith Do we them preach lawlessness? God forbid! For the scripture stated that the whole laws is fulfilled in one word, even in this, that thou shall love thy neighbour as yourself. D/4 we are not a debtor as to live by the law, for if we trully love God, we will love our neighbours & if we love our neighbour, we would not lie against them, we will not fight them or keep malice with them, no one would steal or covet anything belonging to his neighbour, no one will cheat on them, no one will kill & abuse any one of them by so doing it is reckoned unto us that we have fulfilled the whole laws. Is the law evil? No, its not, for none of us would have been convicted as a sinner if not by the help of the laws. By the help of the law we see our needs to be partaker in the righteousness of Christ. After being born again, should we neglect the law? God forbid for the laws now is written in our heart. We fulfil the law not on the basis that we want to be holy as of old, but because we are already made righteous in Christ & the people of this world need to see this in the way we live our lives so that they wont take offense from us. Brethren, now we are made righteousness of God, not based on fulfilling the laws. We have been called into freedom(grace) but lets not take this freedom for granted by continuing in sin. A willing rebellion unto Gods law & statutes can separate us &prevent us from heaven. Any question? Ask
