Bible Note: Hi John, You made a good point. Here are some Scriptures to compare. Parentheses around pronouns, bold print, and stars are mine for comparisons/contrast. Galatians 3:13, "**Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law..." Romans 4:16, "For this reason it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace, in order that the PROMISE may be certain to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (as it is written, "A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE **I MADE YOU")..." Romans 4:20, "yet, with respect to the PROMISE OF God/, he did not waver in unbelief, but grew strong in faith,..." Romans 3:22, "even the righteousness of God/ through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;..." Galatians 3:13, "in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the PROMISE OF THE Spirit/ through faith." Galatians 3:22, "But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that the promise by faith in Christ (Jesus) might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed...26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:29, "And if you belong to (Christ), then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise." Galatians 3:16, "Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, "And to your Seed" [see NKJ], that is, (Christ)." Zephaniah 2:11, NKJ, "The Lord will be awesome to them, For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth; People shall worship Him/, Each one from his place, Indeed all the shores of the nations." Zephaniah 3:8, "Therefore wait for Me/," declares the Lord, "For the day when I rise up to the prey. Indeed, (My) decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms,..." Micah 2:12, 13, "I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. (I) will put them together like sheep in the fold;...And the Lord at their head." John 10:16, "And I have other sheep which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear (My) voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd." [ My interpretation would be ***Shepherd]. Galatians 3:24, "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to ***Christ that we may be justified by faith." From the heart, Ray |
