JULY 4TH CELEBRATION WITH FUN, FOOD & FIREWORKS
Sunday, July 3rd, 6:30
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Galatians 5:4, “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”
Paul’s word is very strong concerning how we can shut Christ down in our lives.
To be discharged from Christ means to be brought to nought from Christ, to be separated from Christ, or to become idle in relation to Christ.
This does not mean that we lose our salvation.
But it does mean that we nullify Christ and put Him out of operation.
In my computer there is what is known as “the system folder.”
This folder is the key to the operation of all the other programs.
If the system folder is up and running, then everything else runs smoothly.
But if something goes wrong with the system folder, everything on the computer shuts down.
Even though there are many good programs that can do many things, if the system folder is damaged in any way, then nothing works.
In the same way, if you and I come under the law in any form and are brought again under a yoke of slavery, we are discharged from Christ and He is nullified in our practical experience.
This word from Paul in Galatians is helpful to all of us.
It may explain our own experiences when we have felt like the Lord was virtually absent from us.
The atmosphere of freedom was lost.
Christ was nullified.
This word will also preserve us as we go on together in the church life.
May we always cherish the blood-bought atmosphere of freedom, which brings in the full enjoyment of Christ.
Then the church will be maintained in the reality of Christ.
Until Tomorrow,
With A Shepherd’s Love
