2 things in Gal
Tonights thought on this bible passage might not be right on but I ask the Lord to help me in thinking and preaching though the word. I am not a pro and always feel free to talk back at me in my bible thinking so I am able to improve and expand my knowledge to walk tighter with Jesus. I want to know the word and this is one way to know it and that is to bible journal. I love doing it and many I hope keep reading it.
Gal 4 21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. [1]
In this John thinks Paul is using an allegory. We are looking at 2 people that Abraham had. One is by Hagar, which was not from God. She was a bondwoman and the people were the people of the law. They had to follow the law and they now live in the Muslim world. Sarah was the one that the Lord came from. Out of her seed Jesus came to set us all free. SO there are 2 convents one from Moses and one from Isaac. Law is the bondage we are in if we do not know the lord because it is going to lead us to keeping it when we can’t. We that know the Lord are going to heaven.
Jerusalem is home of the people of God and in realty our home in this earth. It is the home of God and a city that now is not ours but it will be the capital of earth when Jesus rules the world.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
We are the children of the promises of heaven. We inherit all that the Lord is and will be. I am thinking the Jews are the ones that killed Jesus when Jesus was telling them that they can come to Jesus and be set free. In the casting of the bondwoman Paul is asking that we go to the freed woman and that is Sarah whose seed is the Lord Jesus and in that we have the promise of God and not the bondage of the law.
