Sha-bat, Sivan 7, 6002 – June 3, 2017
Given To Peace
Looking upon the human race I find myself pondering why it is that we are the way that we are. Often I have thought about why int eh world did Adam and Eve listen to the serpent instead of our Father? Adam and Eve were created sinless – without any transgression of the Law. They literally walked with God in the garden. And yet, they chose to not believe and act on what God told them and instead chose to believe and act on what the serpent told them. I want to come back to this point, because we do the same. Jesus (Yeshuah) redeemed us from the curse of the Law (NOT the Law itself). What did He do actually?
Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Sin is defined in scripture as transgression of the Law.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
We see that sin is the transgression of the Law. Jesus (Yeshuah) was manifested to take away our transgressions of the Law, for in Him is no transgression of the Law. The devil transgressed the Law from the beginning, and the Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, the transgressions of the Law and causing others to do the same. By man transgression of the Law entered the world. That transgression became a part of man, and man passed that on to all men.
We now have the power to escape the transgression of the Law. Likely we will not do this perfectly. Therefore, we can turn again after we have transgressed the Law, and find forgiveness from our Father through His Son our Messiah, Yeshuah (Jesus).
This Sabbath day, let us rejoice in the knowledge that we receive mercy from our Father.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be among us. Send us today Your overwhelming provision such that it overflows to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Cleanse and heal our minds and hearts. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that ahs been taken or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
