Who are the thieves and the robbers?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Learn about the thieves and robbers who oppose the Gospel of grace. These individuals have not entered through the door, which is Jesus, and speak against the simplicity of the Gospel. They aim to steal, kill, and destroy by deceiving believers and speaking against the message of faith. Jesus describes them as thieves and robbers who come to steal precious treasures, which is the Gospel of grace. Beware of hirelings who do not care for the sheep and enable the wolves to run around freely. Look for the porters who know the shepherd’s voice and speak the truth without compromise. Keep your focus on Jesus Christ, the true and only way to salvation. Keywords: Gospel, Jesus Christ, Thieves and Robbers, Deception, Simplicity of the Gospel, Faith, Grace.

Why was the timing of Abraham’s circumcision so important?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Learn about the importance of justification by faith alone in the Old Testament, specifically through the timing of Abraham’s circumcision. While circumcision was seen as a sign of righteousness and faith, it was not the cause of Abraham’s justification. Rather, it was a seal of the righteousness he already had through faith. This emphasizes the importance of justification by faith alone, as opposed to works or law-keeping. Christ is our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, and Old Testament saints were also justified by faith apart from works. Our faith in Christ is what justifies us, and our works are simply a reflection of that faith.

How is the gospel tied to an inheritance?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Learn about the connection between the Gospel and our inheritance in Christ. Christ’s inheritance is the promises made to the fathers, and as our representative, he secures the inheritance for us. The Gospel is all about Christ and his role in securing our salvation and inheritance. God’s salvation is about fulfilling his purpose, which is to produce many sons in glory who are conformed to the image of his firstborn Son, form the Bride as his companion, and form the Body as his Fulness. By embracing Christ and believing the Gospel, we become part of God’s purpose and the fulfillment of his promises. Explore the four main points of this connection in this informative article.

How was the gospel known to people like Abraham and Abel?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Discover how the Gospel was known to people like Abraham and Abel through the promise of the Seed. Abel’s parents were promised the “seed of the Woman” who would crush the head of the Seed of the serpent, and Abraham was promised the Seed through which he would be multiplied. Both believed in the promise, which Galatians calls the Gospel. This promise of salvation through faith in God’s plan of redemption is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who is the ultimate Seed of the Woman and the promised Messiah.

If Abraham was justified by faith, and I’m justified the same way, what is different about us?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By

Learn about justification by faith and its implications for believers. Examining Abraham’s justification, we see that he was not regenerated to become a son of God, unlike present-day believers who are sealed with the Spirit of Promise and made heirs. This difference highlights God’s intention for a new creation, where believers are regenerated to become sons of God and justified through faith in Christ. Flesh cannot be justified by the Law, and it is only through faith in Christ that we can be justified before God. Both Abraham and present-day believers were justified by believing in Christ, but present-day believers have the added benefit of being baptized into Him and sharing a heavenly position and blessing as joint heirs with Christ.
