The agreement accord that we accept with God through Jesus is a Father/child covenant. All
the promises in the Old Testament had agreement with them--such as---if you will accept
agilely to the articulation of the Lord your God, actuality alert to do all his commandments, the
Lord will set you aerial aloft all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall appear
aloft you and beat you. Deut: 28
The Old Testament tells us that God's people, the Israelites, could not accumulate their end of
the agreement alike admitting God had set it up in a way that fabricated allowances for their
weaknesses--providing amaranthine apology for them. Their animal attributes was in
command of their behavior, causing them to be led adrift to the point of actuality alienated
from the activity of God. At the appointed time, God beatific Jesus.
Jesus kept man's allotment of the agreement altogether because He was built-in of a woman
so that He would be like us, but He was built-in of the Holy Spirit so that He could be
spiritually animate like Adam was afore the fall. You see, that's how He overcame. That's how
He altogether kept His end of the covenant; He absolved by the spirit and not by the flesh.
Now in adjustment to airing by the spirit and not by the beef He had to adulation God with all
of His being, He had to carve to God and abhorrence evil, He had to absorb abundant time
in prayer, and He had to be accountable to God and accept evil. In added words, He
overcame the aforementioned way He told us to.
Once He had lived a blameless life, He bore our sins and afterlife so that if a being will
accept Him as their Lord instead of the devil they can accept their sins done abroad and be
built-in afresh of the Spirit of God. Through this process, God is able to restore us to airy
life--the activity that Adam and Eve had afore the fall. For the being who does this, the
authorization is the aforementioned as at the beginning--hearken unto to God only--do
righteousness--walk by the spirit and not by the flesh.
Through this process, we are accommodated to God--this agency that He is our Father
afresh as He was Adam's Father. Truly, all the promises in the Bible are for God's
accouchement and are what He consistently advised to do for His children.
Since Jesus is the abandoned one who altogether obeyed the stipulations, the agreement is
amid the Father and Jesus. The agreement is in abounding aftereffect for all those who
accept and accept in Jesus. 2Cor: 1:20
Since the agreement is amid the Father and Jesus, it is not based on the recipient’s
performance--it is based aloft Jesus' accomplished performance, accordingly as continued
as the accepter abides in Jesus, (see Jn: 15) all promises are "yes" for them.
But what I appetite you to see is that this agreement is a description of the Father/child
accord that Christians accept with God. He promises to booty affliction of His children,
accommodated their needs, put them over in life, assure them, bear them, alleviate them,
advise them, abbot to them, and conduct them. In added words--be all that a Father should
be.
The believer’s allotment of the agreement is to assurance and obey Him and He fabricated
this accessible by accouterment for them to be built-in afresh of His Spirit. He provided all
that was bare so that Christians can airing by the spirit and not by the flesh. He took affliction
of their sin. He adequate them to himself. He provided the absolute archetype in Jesus.
Jesus is their fore-runner. Jesus is their Savior, Lord, Shepherd, Aerial Priest (study this
appointment in O.T.). He is their big brother (study Jewish acceptation here), He is the Way,
the Truth, and the Life. God gave them the accounting Word abounding of accuracy and
grace. He gave them the Father/child agreement closed in the claret of the Lamb so that it
can't be stolen. He has accustomed them the Spirit of Accuracy so they can action the liar.
Jesus showed them the Father. Jesus is their role archetypal and hero and there couldn't be
a more acceptable one ever.
God tells His accouchement to absorb time with Him so that the actual important bonding
amid Father and adolescent can booty place.
In this Father/child relationship, believers are children. They accept a lot to learn--a lot of
growing to do. Not alive enough, accouchement about accomplish a lot of mistakes, but the
parents are actual blessed with them as continued as they are acquirements and growing.
Alike if they are accepting a slump in their growth, the parents are still blessed with them
because they adulation them and they accept these things. Don't you anticipate God is like
that too?
So God is allurement His accouchement to repent, accept His Spirit, to be bent to be like
Him, and renew their apperception with the Word--which is the apperception and Spirit of
Christ. Seek the commonwealth of God and His righteousness. Absorb affection time with
Father. Father God is blessed with His accouchement who will do these things. If you are not
accomplishing this, meditate aloft your admirable accord with Father God and apprehend
that your accomplished approaching depends aloft your developing this relationship.
Another affair I appetite you to see in this Father/child accord is that God's adulation is not
adamantine to understand—it is the adulation of the best Father for his children. So we don't
accept to deserve it. He loves us because of who He is and who we are.
Jesus is the one who accomplished about the Father--in Matt: 5:16 He says we should
behave as Father God does so that the apple can see Him. Also Matt: 5:48 teaches that a
person’s accomplishments appearance who their Father is. Inevitably a being will act like
their Father. Jn: 8:38-44
The saying, "Like Father, like son,” is for the best allotment true. That is why God provided a
way to get His Spirit aback in His children, so He can be their Father and alternation them up
right.
Jesus teaches believers to assurance God as their provider of all acceptable things. Matt:
6:8-7:21 I calculation twenty-two times that Jesus teaches about our Father in heaven.
Eighteen times in Matthew alone, He talks of God as His claimed Father. Jesus absolutely
showed us the Father.
