We need to STOP and Let God Work Himself into us to Fulfill His Purpose Through us

God's intention is to gain man for His purpose so that He may work Himself into man and be lived out and expressed through man in a corporate way for His glory. We can see God's intention from the beginning of the Bible (when God put man in front of … [Continue reading]

Living by Grace: God Rejects Man’s Fleshly Effort to Please Him According to the Law

April 8, 2014 by aGodMan 2 Comments

Hagar, the bondwoman, signifies the covenant of law (Gal. 4:25)....When man is ignorant of God's grace, he will always endeavor to do something to please God, and this brings in the law, of which Hagar, the bondwoman, the improper wife of Abraham, was the symbol. Since she was the improper wife, she should not have come in. What she brought forth could not remain in God's economy. This signifies that the law should not have come in and that the produce of the law has no position in fulfilling God's purpose. Hagar brought forth Ishmael, who was rejected by God, by man's effort, not by God's grace. The produce of man's effort through the law has no share in the fulfillment of God's purpose. (Life-study of Genesis, p. 620)

In the Covenant of Grace God is Working Himself into Us to Bring Forth Christ

April 7, 2014 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

In the Covenant of Grace (Sarah) God is Working Himself into Us to Bring Forth Christ. For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one of the maidservant and one of the free woman. However the one of the maidservant was born according to the flesh, but the one of the free woman was born through promise. These things are spoken allegorically, for these women are two covenants... (Gal. 4:22-24)

It is not easy to understand what the Old Testament speaks of if you don't have the proper view, that is, if you don't see God's economy. It is easy to misunderstand and misinterpret the stories and prophecies in the Old Testament if you don't see … [Continue reading]

The history of Abraham rescuing his nephew Lot is full of spiritual significance, and Abraham is a pattern to us today in our life of living by faith. To live by faith doesn't mean only to live a life of the altar and the tent, fully trusting in the … [Continue reading]
