THE TWO STSTEMS, LAW AND GRACE, CANNOT CO-EXIST ! The apostle Paul writes to the Galatians Christian of his dispensation of time. "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again unto Christ be formed in you, Notice he calls them little children in whom he travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, the King James Bible. The amplified Bible reads, "My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pains until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded within you. Evidently the apostle Paul saw something in the Christians of his day that was not in conformity to Christ Jesus. Today, in our dispensation of time we have Christians who are conforming to the world standard and not Christ Jesus. In other words their living as if they are not saved. He says, I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I stand in doubt of you. Tell me, you the desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law ? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman. The King James Bible. The amplified Bible reading, "Would that I world with you now and could coax you vocally, for I am fearful and perplexed about you ! Tell me, you are bent on being under the Law, will you listen to what the Law [really] says ? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondmaid and one by the free woman. (Genesis 16:15; Genesis 21:2-9). But whereas the child of the slave woman was born according to the flesh and had an ordinary birth, the son of the free woman was born in fulfillment of the promise. Now all this is an allegory; these [two women] represent two covenants. One covenant originated from Mount Sinai [where the Law was given] and bears [children destined] for slavery; this is Hager. Now Hagar is (stands for) Mount Sinai in Arabia and she corresponds to and belongs in the same category with the present Jerusalem, for she is in bondage together with her children. But the Jerusalem above (the Messianic kingdom of Christ) is free. And she is our mother. Many people who say they are Christians, or trying to mix law and grace: and do not understand why nothing is working in their relationships or in their life. Christ Jesus, is and end of the Mosaic Law. In fact, we fulfill The Royal Law by our obedience to love one another as we love ourselves. Do not seek to go back under the Mosaic Law; because you will bring yourself back into bondage !
