The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation, Part 8: Why Your Standing With God Was Never About Heritage or Location
Do you need to visit Israel, walk where Jesus walked, or pray at a holy site to grow closer to God? Many of us absorbed that idea from religious tradition without ever hearing it from Scripture. In this message from Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion, Dr. Abel Damina walks through Galatians to show that our standing with God was never about a location, a bloodline, or a pilgrimage — "there is neither Jew nor Greek... for you are all one in Christ Jesus." He also addresses a familiar Christian custom directly, recalling that even the angels at the empty tomb asked, "why are you seeking the living among the dead?" By the end, you'll see clearly why Jesus Himself — not a place — is where you meet God.
Dr. Abel Damina: For God has not given to us the Spirit of fear but of love, of power and of a sound mind. That voice of fear, that voice of harassment, that voice of intimidation, those useless dreams that the devil has used to torment you, I command them to cease in the name of Jesus. And I command the reality of God's life to overshadow you right now. And beyond that, the revelation of Jesus grows big on your inside until nothing else matters. Great grace is upon you tonight in Jesus' precious name. And every believer says that amen like thunder. Glory to God. Somebody blessed tonight. If you're blessed, can I hear a powerful amen. Glory to God. You know, we're going to go to the next segment in another two minutes. But before we do that quickly, grab an offering, everybody. We give every day we hear the word, every day. We give generously, we give willingly, we give intentionally for the advancement of God's kingdom. And I want to thank every one of you that has been giving and supporting the conference and supporting all that we're doing here. And I rejoice with those of you that have made it a point of duty to share the message every time on your pages, on social media, and those of you on radio that gather people to listen to the teachings in your homes and around your neighborhood. We celebrate what you do to see that the Kingdom of God continues to advance. Lift your offerings up. Father, we pray for every one giving tonight online, in the building, on campuses, in all our house centers, those watching by social media and television. We decree that our giving tonight is a sweet smell. And we thank you for the privilege to make a difference in the gospel. Thank you for answered prayer and thank you for the blessing upon your people in Jesus' precious name. And every believer says that amen on a note of finality. Glory to God.
Oh my goodness. The Word of God is life. The Bible tells us the entrance of God's Word gives light and it gives understanding to the simple. As you keep listening, the light of God's Word rises out of the rightly divided Word of Truth. Illuminates your mind, illuminates your heart and brings you face to face with your realities in Christ Jesus. In Ephesians chapter 3:3, brother Paul speaking about the mystery, the Old Testament. He says, whereby when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. So, there is a knowledge in the mystery of Christ. The word mystery is the word 'musterion' in the Greek. It means that which is concealed. And then he says, how that by revelation, the word revelation is the word 'apocalypsis'. It means that which is revealed. So, the revelation of the scriptures unveils the mysteries. Revelation is the New Testament. Mystery is the Old Testament. But it will take reading and learning to come to a place of full understanding, a precise and accurate knowledge. Brother Daniel will say, I understood by books. So, there is a place of books in equipping you soundly with the message of Christ. Brother Paul write to Timothy, he says, to Timothy, till I come, give attendance to reading. Jesus speaking to the Jews says, you do err because you know not the scriptures nor the power of God. Oftentimes, Jesus will say to the Jews, have you not read is the word 'anaginosko' in the Greek. It means, are you reading and not paying attention? I want to quickly recommend for you a plethora of books I have written. They are written with an intent to bring you doctrinal clarity, answer your questions doctrinally, and bring you to a place of accurate understanding, a precise knowledge of Christ and you in Christ. I want you to order for those books today. The number and the list of books available will be read to you right now. And if you call today, we'll be glad to make sure you get a copy or more copies of the books so you can enrich your spiritual life and enrich your walk with God and build a quality relationship with Jesus Christ. Where you're also able to teach others the same truths you have learned to liberate them and bring them to the fullness of God. Glory to God.
