Galatians #1
There is a tremendous freedom and liberty that belongs to us as believers!
"It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." - Galatians 5:1
We have been forgiven – why walk around with so much guilt?
God is on our side – why worry?
We are loved most by the one who knows us best – why be insecure?
"Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen." – Galatians 1:3-5
Jesus has delivered us out of this present age – this present system – into another. We can't think our way out of this present system, be good enough, or try hard enough. Jesus is the only way into God's kingdom system.
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." – Romans 12:2
This is the growth process, the process of change and renewal – continuing to exchange the values and perspectives of the old kingdom for the new one. This is a life long journey.
"Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, 'He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness'; and again, 'The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.' - 1 Corinthians 3:18-20
The wisdom of this age is attached to the order of this age. The reasonings of the wise of this age are based on the assumptions of this current world order.
2,800 times Darwin says "Let us assume". That assumption is that God did not create.
An argument and entire line of reasoning is built upon that assumption.
All the new books coming out now – The God delusion, God is not great, Letters to a Christian nation – all are built on assumptions, belief systems, and lines of reasoning.
God does not call us to foolishness - let him become foolish that he may become wise. He calls us to let go of the assumptions of one world and apprehend the wisdom of another world, another age
