Set Free from Fear

John 20:17 NLT
“Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 

"Mary Magdalene’s worst fears were realized in the death of Jesus. It’s no wonder that she clung to Him the moment she realized the “gardener” was really her Savior. The fear of losing Jesus again seems to have motivated Mary to grab hold of Jesus and not let go."*

Consider Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you . . .”
The glorified Jesus is known by the Spirit.
Jesus arose to free us from the power of fear!
We do not need to fear when we have the Holy Spirit from God." *

Jesus arose to free us from the power of fear!

Scriptures for Freedom from Fear

God's Presence is With us
Isaiah 41:10 NLT
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Deuteronomy 31:6 NLT
So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

♡🩷♡

God is our Protector
Psalms 46:1 NLT
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Psalms 118:6 NLT
The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?

♡🩷♡

Seek Him & Be Delivered  From All Fears
Psalms 34:4 NLT
I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.

2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

♡🩷♡

No Fear In Love
1 John 4:18 NLT
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 

Pray for Peace
Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
⁶ Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 
⁷ Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Replace Fear with Faith
Psalms 56:3 NLT
But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

Counter Fear by Being Strong & Courageous
Joshua 1:9 NLT
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

"Letting go of what has become familiar and moving into what God has for us in a new season can be scary. Let us remember that “fear not” and “be not afraid” appear in Scripture some 365 times. Consider Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you . . .” Jesus arose to free us from the power of fear!"*
Pray:
"Lord Jesus, I surrender my fears to you today, asking You to fill me with shalom, Your peace, and to guide me by Your Spirit into greater confidence and hope. Amen."

The Third Day

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Jesus Christ
Risen
On the Third Day

Matthew 12:40 NLT
For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.

Hosea 6:1-2 NLT
¹ “Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds. 
² In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.

The Three Days Explained:
Youversion Reading Plan: 
'Transformed by the Messiah' 
Day 2: Risen on the Third Day
"How was the Messiah in the tomb three days and three nights if He was buried on a Friday afternoon and resurrected on a Sunday morning? " 
"It’s a good question that is answered by understanding a few technicalities of Jewish law.
The seven-day shiva period of mourning begins on the afternoon of the first day the deceased person is buried. So even if they are buried right before sunset, that counts as day one (even though it’s not a full twenty-four-hour period). According to Jewish law, one can stop mourning and resume certain aspects of “normal life” after morning prayers on the third day of shiva (again, not a full twenty-four hours).
Jesus’ entombment on Friday was day one. And we know He was in the tomb all day Saturday (day two). On the third day, after morning prayers, the disciples would be returning to a more regular life, as shiva ends the mourning period on the third day. Jesus rose that morning. So according to the Jewish understanding of “sitting shiva” and the other avelut (laws) of mourning, technically three days had passed, and Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of being “in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights” (Matt. 12:40).
The number three has tremendous significance in the Bible and in the life of Jesus. It is associated with redemption, going back as early as the exodus. There were three sprinklings of the blood of the Passover lamb applied to the top and the two sides of the doorposts of the Israelites’ houses. Also, the third of the four cups in a Passover Seder is known as the Cup of Redemption. It’s no coincidence that He lifted this third cup to inaugurate the Lord’s Supper. He prayed three times when He was arrested. He was nailed to the cross at the third hour. He died in the ninth hour, which is three o’clock in the afternoon. And, of course, the Lord was resurrected on the third day.
Jesus was raised on the third day to fulfill this promise and bring healing and restoration so we might live in God’s presence in the messianic kingdom for all eternity. "
Prayer:
"Thank You, Lord Jesus, Yeshua, for fulfilling the prophecy and rising on the third day to save me from the power of sin and death and to deliver me into Your family! Amen."

The Garden Grave

The Garden Grave
Sin Began in the Garden
Life Started in a Grave in a Garden

Adam & Eve Sinned 
in the Garden of Eden

Genesis 3:8-13, 21-23 NLT
⁸ When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. 
⁹ Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” 
¹⁰ He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.” 
¹¹ “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?” 
¹² The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.” 
¹³ Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”
²¹ And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife. 
²² Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!” 
²³ So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden,...

Jesus the Suffering Servant

Isaiah 53:4-9 NLT
⁴ Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! 
⁵ But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. 
⁶ All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. 
⁷ He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. 
⁸ Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. 
⁹ He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.

A Grave in a Garden

John 19:38-42 NLT
³⁸ Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away. 
³⁹ With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. 
⁴⁰ Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth. 
⁴¹ The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before. ⁴² And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

Life Started in a Grave in a Garden

Hosea 6:2 NLT
In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.🕊️

Psalms 16:10 NLT
For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.

Matthew 12:40 NLT
For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.

John 2:22 NLT
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.

Isaiah 53:10 NLT
But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.

Acts of the Apostles 2:25-32 NLT
²⁵ King David said this about him: ‘I see that the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. 
²⁶ No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope. 
²⁷ For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave. 
²⁸ You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’ 
²⁹ “Dear brothers, think about this! You can be sure that the patriarch David wasn’t referring to himself, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is still here among us. 
³⁰ But he was a prophet, and he knew God had promised with an oath that one of David’s own descendants would sit on his throne. 
³¹ David was looking into the future and speaking of the Messiah’s resurrection. He was saying that God would not leave him among the dead or allow his body to rot in the grave. 
³² “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this. 

Acts of the Apostles 13:33-35 NLT
³³ and God has now fulfilled it for us, their descendants, by raising Jesus. This is what the second psalm says about Jesus: ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.’ 
³⁴ For God had promised to raise him from the dead, not leaving him to rot in the grave. He said, ‘I will give you the sacred blessings I promised to David.’ 
³⁵ Another psalm explains it more fully: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.’ 

Acts of the Apostles 26:22-23 NLT
²² But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen— ²³ that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, and in this way announce God’s light to Jews and Gentiles alike.”

1 Corinthians 15:3-7 NLT
³ I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 
⁴ He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 
⁵ He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. 
⁶ After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 
⁷ Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.

"Jesus came to reverse the sin of Adam and Eve that began in the garden of Eden when they broke God’s command and took from the tree. Jesus “returned” to a garden to reverse the curse, restore the blessing, and bring life out of death. In that garden grave, the story came full circle."

The Blood

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

The Blood
Pleading the Blood
Rest in Christ's Finished Work
On The Cross

The victory has already been accomplished through Christ’s finished work on the cross.
No need to plead the blood in every situation, over any object or person.

1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT
But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The blood of Jesus is for the forgiveness of sin because without the shedding of blood their is no forgiveness of sin.

We have already been transferred into the Kingdom of God's dear Son. 
We do not need to 'plead the blood' over and over again.

Jesus is not apart from His blood.

Through the years, as we grow in our walk with Christ and grow from the milk to the meat of God's word, I have learned that we do not "plead the blood of Christ".  Through prayer and seeking truth in the Bible, I know that the blood of Jesus shed for our sins, cleanses us from our sins. That's it.  No 'pleading the blood'.  I never knew it came from the 'Word of Faith' movement.  It is a Pentecostal tradition.  

♡🩷♡
Romans 5:9-11 NLT
⁹ And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 
¹⁰ For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 
¹¹ So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Christ already disarmed spiritual rulers and authorities!🙌 No need to plead the blood again and again.🙂👇
Colossians 2:15 NLT
In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.

John 19:30 NLT
When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Ephesians 1:7 NLT
He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. 

Hebrews 9:22 NLT
In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.

Hebrews 10:10 NLT
For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

Colossians 2:14-15 NLT
¹⁴ He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 
¹⁵ In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.

1 Timothy 2:5 NLT
For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. 

Colossians 1:13-14 NLT
¹³ For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 
¹⁴ who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.

1 John 2:1 NLT
My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. 

Revelation 1:5 NLT
⁵ and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. 

Revelation 12:11 NLT
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.

Revelation 19:10 NLT
Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:9 NLT
For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. 

The Blood of Christ was poured out to save us from the wrath to come.

Colossians 2:8 NLT
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking [tradition] and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. 

Instead of 'pleading'  the blood, we should rest in what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross.
It is already done, finished!🥰🙌✝️🐑🩸🕊👑

In Times of Trouble
The Lord Saves The Righteous

(The Lord led me in His word on Sunday, April 13, 2025 after I spoke to Him about our politics and radical political parties, our legal system and some institutions where justice is not served. I asked God to protect us from civil war or invasion from outside our borders, that they would not take people's farms and properties. Then I read Psalm 37 and certain verses caught my attention. I quote the verses that spoke to my heart about our country's situation (and the world) and what I/we should or should not do.)

Psalm 37:1, 3-20, 22-24, 27-40 NLT
1 Don’t worry about the wicked
    or envy those who do wrong.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
    Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you your heart’s desires.

5 Commit everything you do to the Lord.
    Trust him, and he will help you.
6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
    and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
    and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
    or fret about their wicked schemes.

8 Stop being angry!
    Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
    it only leads to harm.
9 For the wicked will be destroyed,
    but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

10 Soon the wicked will disappear.
    Though you look for them, they will be gone.
11 The lowly will possess the land
    and will live in peace and prosperity.

12 The wicked plot against the godly;
    they snarl at them in defiance.
13 But the Lord just laughs,
    for he sees their day of judgment coming.

14 The wicked draw their swords
    and string their bows
to kill the poor and the oppressed,
    to slaughter those who do right.
15 But their swords will stab their own hearts,
    and their bows will be broken.

16 It is better to be godly and have little
    than to be evil and rich.
17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
    but the Lord takes care of the godly.

18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent,
    and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.
19 They will not be disgraced in hard times;
    even in famine they will have more than enough.

20 But the wicked will die.
    The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—
    they will disappear like smoke.

22 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land,
    but those he curses will die.

23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
    He delights in every detail of their lives.
24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,
    for the Lord holds them by the hand.

27 Turn from evil and do good,
    and you will live in the land forever.
28 For the Lord loves justice,
    and he will never abandon the godly.
He will keep them safe forever,
    but the children of the wicked will die.
29 The godly will possess the land
    and will live there forever.

30 The godly offer good counsel;
    they teach right from wrong.
31 They have made God’s law their own,
    so they will never slip from his path.

32 The wicked wait in ambush for the godly,
    looking for an excuse to kill them.
33 But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed
    or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.

34 Put your hope in the Lord.
    Travel steadily along his path.
He will honor you by giving you the land.
    You will see the wicked destroyed.

35 I have seen wicked and ruthless people
    flourishing like a tree in its native soil.
36 But when I looked again, they were gone!
    Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

37 Look at those who are honest and good,
    for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.
38 But the rebellious will be destroyed;
    they have no future.

39 The Lord rescues the godly;
    he is their fortress in times of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them,
    rescuing them from the wicked.
He saves them,
    and they find shelter in him.

How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Blessed New Year 2025

 

Blessed New Year
2025 in Jesus

Embracing a Christ-Centered Start

As we step into the New Year 2025, it is a time of reflection and renewal. This year, let's embrace the profound calling to love people as Jesus Christ taught us. In a world often marked by division, loving people is not only a command but a transformative action that can change lives, including our own.

Loving people begins with understanding and empathy. It's about seeing beyond differences and recognizing the inherent worth in every individual. This New Year, consider practical ways to implement this love in your daily life. Start by listening more intently to others, offering a helping hand to those in need, and forgiving past grievances. By doing so, we honor the biblical call to "bear one another's burdens," as noted in Galatians 6:2. This act not only strengthens our communities but also brings us closer to the essence of Jesus' teachings.

As we navigate 2025, let's ponder these questions: How can we better love those around us? What burdens can we help lift in our communities? By reflecting on these, we can truly make this year a blessed one in Jesus, filled with compassion and love for all.

SPIT & DUST

I was listening to Christian singer Ri-An's latest song 'Made For More' and the album cover drew my attention. It is a man made of dust/sand rising from the dust. Immediately a thought came to mind of Jesus healing a blind man's eyes with his spit and mud. I was thinking that's how God created us, from the dust and Jesus spit on the ground and made mud to heal the man's eyes. God also knits/forms us in our mother's womb. I started crying at that thought. It came from Jesus. How awesome is our God!

♡🩷♡
Genesis 2:7 CEV
The Lord God took some soil from the ground and made a man. God breathed life into the man, and the man started breathing.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
John 9:6-7 CEV
6 After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground. He made some mud and smeared it on the man's eyes.
7 Then he said, “Go wash off the mud in Siloam Pool.” The man went and washed in Siloam, which means “One Who Is Sent.” When he had washed off the mud, he could see.

A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida
Mark 8:22-26 CEV
22 As Jesus and his disciples were going into Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch the man.
23 Jesus took him by the hand and led him out of the village, where he spit into the man's eyes. He placed his hands on the blind man and asked him if he could see anything.
24 The man looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once again Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes, and this time the man stared. His eyes were healed, and he saw everything clearly.
26 Jesus said to him, “You may return home now, but don't go into the village.”

Psalms 139:13 CEV
You are the one who put me together inside my mother's body,

Genesis 3:19 CEV
You will sweat all your life to earn a living;
you were made out of soil, and you will once again turn into soil.”

A Weary World Rejoices

Holy Jesus, only begotten Son of God, the Word of God who manifested in the flesh, is God's gift from above to a world in need of a Saviour. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Jesus Christ brought light into the world and into our hearts. We ought to rejoice for what God has done for this wicked world and wretched sinners because God loves us. Jesus is the Light of the world, the Alpha and Omega, the I AM, our Saviour. Blessed be His holy name. Rejoice! Be glad! There is hope for sinners who repent.

God bless all who read here in Lord Jesus' blessed, holy name.

A True Jew

If you are Christ’s,
then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise

🔹Romans 2:29 NKJV
He is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

♡🩷♡
1 Corinthians 7:19 NKJV
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

Romans 2:27-29 NKJV
27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Romans 4:12-14 NKJV
 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

The Promise Granted Through Faith

13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

Romans 8:17 NKJV
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Romans 9:4-8 NKJV
 4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;
5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose

6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,
7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.”
8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

Galatians 6:16 NKJV
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

🔹🔹Genesis 12:3 NKJV
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Genesis 18:18 NKJV
since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

Galatians 3:7 NKJV
Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

Galatians 3:27-29 NKJV
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Revelation 2:9 NKJV [Jesus Christ (Messiah) speaking to the Persecuted Church]
“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3:9 NKJV [Jesus Christ (Messiah) speaking to the Faithful Church]
Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

🔹🔹🔹1 Corinthians 10:18 NKJV
Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

Jeremiah 4:4 NKJV
Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
And take away the foreskins of your hearts,
You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Lest My fury come forth like fire,
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.”

Deuteronomy 30:6 NKJV
And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Ephesians 4:4-6 NKJV
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Gann's Commentary on the Bible
🔹©Gann, Windell. "Commentary on Romans 2:29".
"a Jew is one inwardly -- Who is the real Israel today?

    Romans 2:28-29; Romans 4:12-14; Romans 9:4-8; Galatians 6:16; Galatians 3:27-29; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9; 1 Corinthians 10:18

God’s Israel today is not that nation in Palestine called by that name, but His people who live by faith in Him and His Son Jesus Christ.

And circumcision is that of the heart -- That is, that circumcision which is acceptable to God and it is attended with holiness of heart; with the cutting off of sins; and with a pure life. Jeremiah 4:4; Deuteronomy 30:6.

Whose praise -- Whose object is not to secure the praise of human beings.

But of God -- The praise of God can be bestowed only on those who conform in heart and in spirit, and not externally only, to his requirements. 1 Samuel 16:7."

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Luke 18:7 NKJV
And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

🔹🔹🔹©Clarke, Adam. "Commentary on 1 Corinthians 10:18".
Verse 18. Behold Israel after the flesh — "The Jews not yet converted to Christianity: the latter being Israel after the Spirit. As the design of the apostle was to withdraw his converts at Corinth from all temptations to idolatry, he produces two examples to show the propriety of his endeavours.

1. All who join together in celebrating the Lord's Supper, and are partakers of that one bread, give proof by this that they are Christians, and have fellowship with Christ.

2. All the Israelites who offer sacrifice, and partake of those sacrifices, give proof thereby that they are Jews, and are in fellowship with the object of their worship: so they who join in idol festivals, and eat things which have been offered to idols, give proof that they are in communion with those idolaters, and that they have fellowship with the demons they worship."

Christian Freedom in Practice

Colossians 2:16-18 NLT
¹⁶ So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
¹⁷ For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.
¹⁸ Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud,..."

Hebrews 8:5 NLT
They serve in a system of worship that is only a •copy, a •shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning: “Be sure that you make everything according to the •pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”

Hebrews 10:1ª NLT
The old system under the law of Moses was only a •shadow, a •dim preview of the good things to come, •not the good things themselves.

Galatians 5:1 NLT
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Galatians 5:4 NLT
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.

Galatians 5:16, 18 NLT
¹⁶ So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
¹⁸ But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

Galatians 4:31 NLT
So, dear brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman; we are children of the free woman.

©Fleming, Donald C. "Commentary on Colossians 2:16".
《"In view of the freedom that Christ has won for them, the Colossian believers must not listen to those who try to force them to obey the rules and regulations of the Israelite law. Practices taught in the law may be compared to shadows. They are not solid or permanent, but their existence enables the viewer to know that there is some real object that casts the shadows. That real object is Jesus Christ. Now that he has come, the shadows are of no further interest. Christian life and growth come from God through a direct relationship between the believer and Christ."》
