Galatians 3:7-10

7 Know and understand that it is [really] the people [who live] by faith who are [the true] sons of Abraham.

    

8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify (declare righteous, put in right standing with Himself) the Gentiles in consequence of faith, proclaimed the Gospel [foretelling the glad tidings of a Savior long beforehand] to Abraham in the promise, saying, In you shall all the nations [of the earth] be blessed.

    

9 So then, those who are people of faith are blessed and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing and trusting Abraham.

    

What the Holy Spirit is telling us here is that all who are empowered to have Jesus’ faith to accept and believe working in them, just as Abraham had our Lord’s faith working in him, are blessed and have eternal life. Our Father chose Abraham and He chose us. It is all grace and it is all undeserved. Our Father has the right to do what He wants with what He Alone created. 

10 And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them.

  

All who depend on the Law, so all who depend on the Ten Commandments and works, are doomed to disappointment and destruction! Wow, go tell that to most churches and see what you get? What our Father is telling us here is to rejoice, we have Jesus, not works, to save us. Regardless of what Covenant our Father has had people live under, He has always chosen certain ones of us to be empowered with Himself to believe and serve. 

Galatians is such a great Book of Truth to destroy the lies of those who want to put us under bondage to works and laws. These wolves will try to steal all joy and peace from us by demanding that we do things on our own. When in all actuality what they teach will actually stop man from being used to do great and wonderful things. The only way that we will ever truly be used by our Father to work is when we stop looking to works. When we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to stop looking to things like what we wear, what we eat, when we eat it, what we think, what we say, where we worship, and how we worship, then we will truly be used by our Father to serve the Kingdom and the world! Only then will we be used by our Father to heal the sick, raise the dead, prophesy, forgive, love, teach, and preach the Truth that will set the captives free. 

I know the Ten Commandments sound like what we have to do, they sound religious and they sound like a good idea, but the Truth is they only lead to destruction when they are looked upon as the power that allows our Father to be in our life’s. When anything other than Jesus, even the Law and the Ten Commandments, is placed as the tool that we use to get to our Father and His favor and His grace, it is destruction! Jesus is jealous, it has to all be Him. He has to be in control of us or we can have no part of Him. He has to wash our feet and He has to serve us, or we can no part of Him, John 13:5-14.
