Look To The Scriptures

Galatians 3;9
"So then they which be of faith are
blessed with faithful Abraham"

    The Judaizers believed that Moses was their teacher and insisted that justification resulted from compliance to the law of Moses. their argument was that the Galatians could not be justified, sanctified without circumcision and faithful observance of the Law. But Paul delivered a blow against that notion when he showed them from the Scriptures, that God justified Abraham, a Gentile because of his faith, centuries before the law was given! He wrote, "Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness" (Gal. 3:6).   
   What more could anyone want than to be counted righteous in God's sight? It is clearly shown that God declares all who possess faith like Abraham's to be the sons of Abraham, "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham," (Gal 3:7). My Friends, that Scripture should open the eyes of all people to exactly what it takes for us to be back in communion with God! 
    Why do I say that? Because since the fall of mankind when Adam broke God's first command, He wants nothing more but to reunite us with Him. "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die," (Gen 2:16-17). 
    So from the very beginning of mankind God's Commands were broken, before the Law of Moses was written and even after. Throughout history God has not given up on trying to reunite with mankind, However He has placed the choice on our shoulders. One on each shoulder, "Believe, and Faith." There is a lot of things that we believe in during our life time that we don't place faith with. Why? Because we can see or touch what we believe in. My Friends, there are things in this world that we can not see or touch the we believe in and that is where Faith comes in. Just as The Heroes of Faith in (Hebrews 11) did, they believed and followed through by Faith! "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report," (Heb. 11:1). I ask you today, Does Your Belief in Our Lord and Saviour have the Faith of Abraham, Enoch, Noah, Isaac or any of the Heroes of Faith? None of us could ever hold a candle to them, but remember the Bible tells us it only takes Faith the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain, and God Is On That Mountain! 
Amen!
