During this search I came across the letters of the Galatians:

Galatians 3: XNUMX:

Justice by faith

1 O you ignorant Galatians! Who charmed you when Jesus Christ was painted in front of their eyes as the crucified? 2 This is the only thing I want to know from you: Did you receive the Spirit through the works of the law or through the preaching of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? You started in the spirit, do you now want to complete it in the flesh? 4 Have you learned so much in vain? If it was in vain! 5 He who gives you the Spirit and works such deeds among you, does he do it by works of the law or by preaching about faith? 6 So "Abraham believed God and it was counted for righteousness" (Genesis 1: 15,6). 7 Know therefore that those who are of faith are the children of Abraham. 8 But the scriptures saw earlier that God justified the Gentiles by faith. That is why it was announced to Abraham beforehand (Genesis 1: 12,3): "In you all the Gentiles shall be blessed." 9 So those who are of faith will be blessed with believing Abraham. 10 For those who live by the works of the law are under the curse. For it is written (Deuteronomy 5:27,26): "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by everything that is written in the book of the law, that he should do it!" 11 But that no one is justified before God by the law apparently; for "the righteous will live by faith" (Habakkuk 2,4: 12). 3 But the law is not "by faith", but: "the man who does it will live by it" (Lev. 18,5: 13). 5 But Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, because it became a curse for us - for it is written (Deuteronomy 21,23:14): "Cursed is everyone who hangs on the wood" - 15 that the blessing may be given Abraham come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus and we received the promised Spirit through faith. 16 Brothers and sisters, I want to speak in a human way: You don't keep a person's will when it is confirmed, nor do you add anything. 1 Now the promises were made to Abraham and his seed. It does not say: "and the descendants" as if many were meant, but rather applies to one person: "and your descendants" (Genesis 22,18:17), who is Christ. 18 But I mean this: the testament that was previously confirmed by God is not canceled by the law given four hundred and thirty years after, so that the promise would be withdrawn. XNUMX For if the inheritance were acquired by the law, it would not be given by promise; But God gave it to Abraham freely by promise.

The meaning of the law

19 Then what is the purpose of the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise is made; it was ordained by angels through the hand of a mediator. 20 But a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 21 How? Then is the law against God's promises? Far be it! For only if a law had been given that could give life would justice really come from the law. 22 But the scriptures included everything under sin, so that by believing in Jesus Christ the promise might be made to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law and locked up until faith was revealed. 24 So the law was our instructor towards Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Liberation to be children of God

25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the taskmaster. 26 For by faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, here is neither slave nor free, here is neither man nor woman; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 But if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 4

1 But I say: As long as the heir is immature, there is no difference between him and a servant, although he is master of all goods; 2 but he is subject to guardians and administrators until the time that the father has appointed. 3 So do we: when we were minors, we were enslaved to the powers of the world. 4 When the time was fulfilled, God sent his Son, born of a woman and put under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might be children. 6 Because you are now children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls out: Abba, dear father! 7 You are no longer a servant, but a child; but if a child, then inheritance through God.

Advertise to the communities

8 But when you did not know God, you served those who were not gods by nature. 9 But now that you have known God, or rather have been known by God, how do you then turn back to the weak and needy powers, whom you want to serve again? 10 You notice certain days and months and times and years. 11 I fear for you that I may have worked on you in vain. 12 Become like me, for I too became like you, brothers and sisters, I beg you. I am not sorry for you. 13 You know that I preached the gospel to you beforehand in weakness of the body. 14 And although my physical weakness was a temptation to you, you did not despise me or spit out before me, but received me like an angel of God, even like Christ Jesus. 15 How blessed were you then to be praised! Because I am your witness: if it had been possible you would have plucked your eyes out and given them to me. 16 Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17 It is not right how they court you; they want to exclude you so that you can then woo them. 18 It is good to be courted when it is done for good, and always and not only when I am with you. 19 My children, whom I will give birth again in labor pains until Christ is formed in you. - 20 But I wanted to be with you now and speak to you in a different voice; because I am at a loss because of you.

Bondage and freedom

21 Tell me, who want to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one from the handmaid and one from the free one. 23 But he of the handmaid was born according to the flesh, and that of the free girl by promise. 24 This is to be understood figuratively: The two women are two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, who gives birth in bondage; this is Hagar. 25 Hagar is the name of Mount Sinai in Arabia, and is a parable for Jerusalem now, which lives in bondage with its children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free; this is our mother. 27 For it is written (Isaiah 54,1: 28): Rejoice, you barren who do not bear! Break out in cheers and shouts that you are not pregnant. For the lonely has many more children than she has the husband. "29 But you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 30 But as in that time he who was born after the flesh persecuted him who was born after the Spirit, so it is now. 1 But what does the scriptures say? “Push the maid out with her son; for the son of the maid shall not inherit with the son of the free "(Genesis 21,10:31). XNUMX So we are not children of the maidservant, but of the free.

Galatians 5: XNUMX:

Freedom in christ

1 Christ set us free to be free! So stand firm now and don't let the yoke of bondage be laid upon you again! 2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, if you are circumcised, Christ will be of no use to you. 3 I testify again to anyone who undergoes circumcision that he owes all of the law to be done. 4 You have lost Christ, because you wanted to be justified by the law; you have fallen out of grace. 5 For by faith we wait in the Spirit for the righteousness in which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts, but faith that works through love. 7 You were doing so well. Who stopped you from disobeying the truth? 8 Such persuasion does not come from him who called you. 9 A little leaven will leaven the whole dough. 10 I have confidence in you in the Lord, you will not be of any other opinion. But whoever leads you astray will bear his judgment that he is who he will. 11 But I, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I persecuted? Then the offense of the cross would be lifted! 12 Let those who incite you let themselves be cut up at once! 13 But you, brothers and sisters, are called to freedom. But see that through freedom you do not give space to the flesh, but through love you serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word (Leviticus 3:19,18): "Love your neighbor as yourself!" 15 But if you bite and devour one another, make sure that you do not devour one another will.

Life in the spirit

16 But I say, if you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh rises against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; they are against each other so that you don't do what you want. 18 But if the Spirit rules you, you are not under the law. 19 But the works of the flesh are evident, as fornication, uncleanness, debauchery, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, quarrel, jealousy, anger, strife, discord, division, 21 envy, drinking, eating, and the like. I have foretold of this to you and again predict: Those who do this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 meekness, chastity; there is no law against any of this. 24 But those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified their flesh with their passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not seek vain honor, let us not challenge and envy one another.

It is exciting to see how such information finds its way to me.

Do we want to be heirs? Then we are not allowed to act like the unconscious. How much unconsciousness prevails here we will see again at the ballot boxes.

Incidentally, persons / staff cannot inherit. The GERMAN is omitted there. It has something to do with sovereignty, and you don't give it up.

However, with dignity, so does the burden.
