Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree. 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
In our day, very great emphasis is placed on the Gift of God to us in Christ, whereas the obedience factor of the relationship is conspicuously absent. This has created an imbalance of faith without accompanying works, and it is this problem that John the revelator addresses in those three angel’s messages where the pendulum swings back to obedience of God’s law.
Yet, it is important that we never lose sight of Christ, for at the end of the day, when the dust has settled in the judgement, it will be those who have accepted the Gift of God in Christ, who would then have their sins blotted out forever. Let us therefore be found rooted and grounded in Christ, for He alone is our hope of eternal salvation.
We will end with a passage of scripture which reminds us of this all-important truth, and we hope that it will never ever fade from the forefront of our consciences.
1st John 5: 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
