THE WHOLE WORLD IS A PRISONER OF SIN

The Scripture declares that the Whole World is a Prisoner of Sin.

(Galatians 3:22)

Formerly, when you did not know God,

You were slaves to those [Satan and his demonic horde]

Who by nature are not gods. (Galatians 4:8)

So also, when we were children,

We were in Slavery under the Basic Principles of the World.

(Galatians 4:3)

But when the time had full come,

God sent His son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

To redeem those under the Law,

That we might receive the full rights of sons [and daughters].

Because you are sons [daughters],

God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts,

The Spirit who call out, “Abba, Father.”

So you are no longer a Salve, but a son [daughter];

And since you are a son [daughter], God has made you also an heir.

(Galatians 4:4-7)

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

Stand firm, then,

And do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

(Galatians 5:1)

By Faith we eagerly await through the Spirit

The Righteousness for which we hope. (Galatians 5:5)

The only thing that counts is Faith expressing itself through love.

[God's love and the obedience that comes from that love]

(Galatians 5:6)

You, my brothers [sisters] were called to be Free.

But do not use your Freedom to indulge in the Sinful Nature;

Rather serve one another in love.

The entire Law is summed up in a single Command:

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

If you keep on biting and devouring each other,

Watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

So I say, live by the Spirit,

And you will not gratify the desires of the Sinful Nature.

For the Sinful Nature desires what is CONTRARY to the Spirit,

And the Spirit what is CONTRARY to the Sinful Nature.

They are in CONFLICT with each other,

So that you do not do what you want.

But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the Law.

The acts of the Sinful Nature are obvious:

Sexual Immorality, Impurity and Debauchery;

Idolatry and Witchcraft; Hatred, Discord, Jealousy, Fits of Rage,

Selfish Ambition, Dissensions, Factions and Envy;

Drunkenness, Orgies, and the Like.

I warn you, as I did before,

That those who live like this

WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

But the Fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,

Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.

Against such things there is NO LAW.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus

HAVE CRUCIFIED THE SINFUL NATURE with its passions and desires.

Since we live by the Spirit,

Let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

(Galatians 5:13-26)

Brothers [Sisters], if someone is caught in a Sin,

You who are spiritual should restore him gently.

But watch yourself, or you also may be Tempted.

Carry each others burdens,

And in this way you will fulfill the Law of Christ.

If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing,

He deceives himself.

Each one should TEST his own actions.

Then he can take pride in himself,

Without comparing himself to somebody else,

For each one should carry his own load.

Anyone who receives instruction in the word

Must share all good things with his instructor.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED: GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED.

A man reaps what he sows.

The one who sows to please his Sinful Nature

WILL REAP DESTRUCTION;

The one who sows to please the Spirit,

From the Spirit will reap Eternal LIFE.

Let us not become weary in doing good,

For at the proper time we will reap a harvest

IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,

especially to those who belong to the Family of Believers.

(Galatians 6:1-10)

May I never boast except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Through which the World has been Crucified to me,

And I to the World.

Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything;

WHAT COUNTS IS A NEW CREATION. (Galatians 6:14-15)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
