Ch4-3_Do Not Turn Again to the Weak and Beggarly Elements of the World (Galatians 4:1-11)

Ch4-1_We Are the Ones Who Shall Never Taste Death，Enjoying Everlasting Life (Galatians 4:1-11)

The Apostle Paul said in Galatians 4:1, “Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all.” It is written that if we are indeed God’s sons, then we are heirs to His inheritance. That we are heirs of God means that God has allowed us to attain true life by giving us the everlasting remission of our sins. We should all grasp the profound significance of what the Apostle Paul is saying here and believe in it with our hearts.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch4-2_Do You and I Have the Same Kind of Faith That Abraham Had？ (Galatians 4:12-31)

Terms such as “indigenization of Christianity” or “indigenized church” seem to have become quite popular, especially among the Third World Christian communities. They try to change the Westernized Christianity into one that is more consistent with their own culture. They lay great emphasis on the second clause of the traditional aphorism: “Unity in essentials, liberty in non-essentials and charity in all things.” But the most unfortunate thing is that they don’t even know what the essentials are.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch4-4_We Are Heirs of God (Galatians 4:1-11)

The Apostle Paul said that although all the saints and ministers are God’s heirs who will inherit His Kingdom, while living on this earth, they are no different from a slave and are under stewards temporarily, and that they suffer under the elements of the world for a short while. He said, “Although you are living as slaves in this world for a short while, you must not forget that you are God’s sons who will inherit all the wealth of God the Father.” This message was spoken not only to God’s servants and all His people at that time, but it is also spoken to us now.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch4-3_Do Not Turn Again to the Weak and Beggarly Elements of the World (Galatians 4:1-11)

Paul wrote this letter about 2,000 years ago. The “elements” here refer to the basic principles of the Law to lead a legalistic life of faith according to the Law. The Jews used to learn everything in a yeshiva. The Apostle Paul himself was also trained under a famous teacher called Gamaliel and taught to fear God through the Law. That is why the Apostle Paul called it ‘elements’ to be still bound by the Law, learn the Law, and practice the Law even after the coming of Jesus.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch5-1_Abide in Christ Trusting in the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit (Galatians 5:1-16)

The Apostle Paul said in Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” If we believe in this Word, that we have been crucified with Christ and He now lives in us, then we have already died in Him, and our Lord already abides and lives in us. Christ shouldered all the sins we commit on this earth, from our past sins to our present and future sins, through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, and He died on the Cross and rose from the dead again. Now, as our Lord lives in us, He has thereby enabled us to always do His bidding and pleasure. Our Lord is already living in our hearts as the Holy Spirit, and He is leading all of us.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]
