Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus is Knowing the Father!
“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.””
Romans 8:15 NKJV
Throughout the history of mankind, priests use the subject of God to sound threat, punishment and hell in the lives of people. This served as a bondage in their lives.
Men served God out of fear and never out of love. They tithe out of fear of punishment of failure. The Law of moses had many curses on non compliance. Fear of these curses gripped the worshippers and if any suffer from any prolonged ailment or permanent misfortune, it was attributed to God’s punishment on account of their sin.
A classical example to quote from is John 9:2 where the blindness of the man born blind was attributed to either his sin or his parent’s. No one was spared from this demon- influenced ordeal , no not even the righteous Job.
The advent of Jesus put an end to this man made fear & delivered mankind from sin, curses and its strongly associated fear and punishment thereof. He became sin to make us righteous forever. He became curse to make us blessed forever. He tasted death on behalf of everyone and above all He gave us the Spirit of Adoption that we cry out to God as Abba, Father out of love. We no longer cry out of fear & bondage.
My beloved friend, this is an experience that God is now our Daddy, our Father. It is an ongoing experience forever. This happens through a Divine operation of the Holy Spirit when we receive the love of Jesus for us.
Oh what manner of love God has bestowed on us that when we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
