07/17/2011 Human Observations

            As individuals, we make decisions based on our individual judgment. Sometimes our judgment, however, is eschewed because the information that we use to make decisions is insufficient.  We live according to the law of God to bring us under His authority.  The error in thought is that attempting to obey His law will remove from us the sin that separated us from Him; and sin does separate us from Him. 

Deuteronomy 27:26
Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. 

            Gal. 3:²¹Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there         had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 
Yet, we cleave to the simple, yet all encompassing, promise to Abraham that the seed of Abraham shall be heirs to the belongings of God.  Shall the cursed be heirs?  No way … unless the curse should somehow be lifted away.  Christ was made a curse in our place because the law says,
 Deuteronomy 21:23
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. 
So the curse dies with Him in His death, in that when He is resurrected, He lives in new life, without curses or our sins.  And in that He ascended to sit at the right hand of the Father in heaven, he is the eternally living heir to all of the things of God, being re-instated to God by fulfilling the law of the High Priest and of the sacrificial lamb.  Since He is acceptable to God, then we, being covered by His sacrifice, become acceptable to God.  So then, the purpose of Jesus the Christ is to bring us, again, to God, whereby we shall receive whatever manner of gift God determines to give to us; be it information, instruction, healing, or even a spiritual caress.  Therefore, it behooves us to better utilize this opportunity by coming before Him regularly, since we regularly continue to conduct our daily lives in intermittent error; our pride, arrogance, and lust interfering with good judgment. 
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
