Subject: Release and Faith Question |
Bible Note: hi Graceful-thx for reply-I was with you right up "to that "grace is womb" statement.the word is clear that grace is a gift that we accept by entering through the Door-Jesus- and are born at that time. we have already been "delivered" when we are born of the Spirit. in Him angel9" You are correct...we born again spirits.. This is an ANALOGY of the protecting ongoing grace of God while we abide here in the flesh. When I believe the Lord dropped it in my spirit, I too hesitated..but then began to see what it means in scripture. The baby in the womb is protected from the 'world' just as we as believers have been protected from eternal damnation. We are encircled by the grace of God. This grace (womb) provides a safe haven from fear of death(spiritual and physical because we KNOW we are heaven bound) allowing us to grow up in Christ. While we are still in the world we are not OF the world. And although persections and trials may come..our spirit man is safe in the womb of grace...and if we sin we have an advocate, we repent...but we remain safe spiritually within the womb of grace. And last but not least...the umbilical cord of the Holy Spirit is the connection with the Father constantly 'feeding' us in the Word of truth, our spiritual food. He is seal of the promise of a safe delivery to our Father... If it still does not make sense, maybe it will later. I find it very comforting knowing God's grace is 'surrounding' me. If this analogy does not work for you, just toss it! God bless |
