It is good to remember that Gods way of deliverance is entirely different than mans way. Man tries to improve the flesh, to redeem its failings, and to perfect its energy in the battle against sin (i.e., religion), but Gods way is to *remove* the flesh from the equation. The goal is not to make us stronger and stronger, but rather weaker and weaker, until the flesh is crucified and only the sufficiency of the Messiah remains. Then we can truly say, I have been crucified with Messiah. It is no longer I who live, but the Messiah who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Gal 2:20). The word “Hebrew” (עִבְרִי) means one who has “crossed over” (עָבַר) to the other side, as our father Abraham did (Gen. 14:13). It is on the other side of the cross that we experience the very power that created the universe out of nothing (i.e., yesh meayin: יֵשׁ מֵאַיִן) and that raised Yeshua the Messiah from the dead. Yours in Christ, ETG/Servant
