“Coming out of Egypt” is symbolic of being set free from the taskmaster of the law. When the taskmaster is disarmed of his weapon of the law, people are set free to soar on the wings of the Spirit of grace. For four hundred years the children of Israel were held in captivity in Egypt…

What is “our part”? To believe! “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. “(Romans 4:3)1 The Abrahamic Covenant is the mirror covenant of the New Covenant because of its unconditional nature. For the purpose of understanding more about the New Covenant with its promises and blessings for believers, we’ll glance at…

Throughout my whole life as a Christian I have heard that Abraham is the father of our faith.1 However, for decades all I knew about Abraham was the Sunday School song “Father Abraham” (including the hand motions, of course) and the story of God telling Abraham to kill his son Isaac and sacrifice him on…

If we misunderstand the covenant that we are under with God, we are going to feel like He is pleased with some days and mad at us on other days. Some days we will feel qualified for His favor and some days we will feel like we need to earn it because we have not…

Can God’s blessing be earned? Is there something we can do to qualify for His favor? Theoretically, there are two ways to qualify for God’s favor: 1) receive it by grace through faith or 2) earn it yourself. One way is to see the powerlessness of the flesh, recognizing the flesh for what it is…

When we behold Jesus, we are transformed into His glorious image. We are “beholding as in a mirror” because when we look at Jesus, it’s like looking into a mirror. When we see the image and beauty of Christ with unveiled face and eyes of grace through faith without a task-based paradigm, we see what…

The veil of condemnation is taken away when we turn to Jesus, and then just by beholding Him, we are transformed into His image. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the…

When we know that God gave us the absolute BEST that He had, how could He withhold any good thing from us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us ALL things? (Romans 8:32, emphasis mine)1In fact, through…

Do you see Jesus throughout your Bible? A great example of the typology of Jesus in the Old Testament is the story of Abraham laying Isaac on the altar. Perhaps you’ve heard this spin on the story: “Abraham laid Isaac, the son that he loved, on the altar. Are there any idols in your life…

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17)1 In this verse we see the phrase, “Now the Lord is the Spirit.” The word Lord here refers to the Lord Jesus Christ.2 We know that the Lord is One God and wherever the Lord…

Deliverance and inner healing ministries could be greatly simplified if they focused on grace and put the ax to the deepest root of every problem: condemnation. After 2 Corinthians 3:6, where Paul says, “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life,” he goes into an explanation of the contrast between the two covenants. He explains…

When we turn to Jesus, the veil of condemnation is removed. “But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” (2 Corinthians 3:15-16, emphasis mine)1 Think of it this way: it would be difficult for the groom…
