Galatians 4:30-31


30 But what does the Scripture say? Cast out and send away the slave woman and her son, for never shall the son of the slave woman be heir and share the inheritance with the son of the free woman.
    
When Ishmael was cast out from Abraham was he killed and destroyed, or was he just not permitted to be an heir of Abraham’s? Our Father gave Ishmael a promise of great power, yet not the power of being a son who was an heir, Genesis 21:18. Our Father told Hagar that He was going to make Ishmael a great nation. Far too many think that just because a person is not chosen to be born again and become the Bride of Christ, that they are thrown into the Lake of Fire. This is not true at all, it only means that they are not called to be the Bride. Yet they are chosen to be the guests of the Bride and Groom at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Matthew 22. They will be a great nation, just as Ishmael. 

Look at Jesus’ parable of the Kingdom of Heaven, there are guests there and only one of them was found unworthy and wasn’t allowed to stay, Matthew 22:11-12. Only the one who commits blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is thrown into the Lake of Fire, Matthew 12:31. The Truth is that there is only one unforgivable sin. The rest of the guests are permitted to stay and celebrate for all of eternity the Marriage of the Bride and Groom, which is the saved and Jesus. These guests will be served by us and taught by us and they are a great nation, Revelation 3:9!

Read in Revelation 21 and you will see the glory that the nations will bring to us when the New Jerusalem and new earth have come into being. The people of the nations will be those who weren’t chosen to be the Bride of Christ and who did not commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. How cool is that? The Truth is that because of what Jesus did for man, not many of us will be lost. Every knee will bow to the Truth that Jesus is Lord and that will set them free, Romans 14:11, and that will bring great praise to our Father. Our Father’s desire that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth will be satisfied through the power of Jesus’ love for us, 1 Timothy 2:4. 

31 So, brethren, we [who are born again] are not children of a slave woman [the natural], but of the free [the supernatural].

We are the Bride! Jesus has born us into freedom and that gift will never be taken away from us. I love Galatians, I just love it! 

For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] Romans 11:29

So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free. John 8:36
