um, I guess that is in a diff context, pick this one up about here prolly, Galatians 4:25 Lexicon: Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
Thank you. Consider He came to set the captives free, to open the door of those in prison(the bondwoman)...those under the captivity and bondage of sin and death. All found guilty by the mosaic law and condemned before God: which is good in sin becoming exceedingly sinful. The Mosaic law: the ministration of condemnation which Paul said when sin was revived sin “deceived me” the mosaic law showing light on his sin and by it “it slew me”.
What holds captive?
What is the prison of the bondwoman “Galatians 4:25 Lexicon: Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.”
Isaiah 61:1
[1] The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
“...to proclaim liberty(Christ) to the captive, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
[9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. [11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
be NOT deceived by sin: we All fall in the above list expect the children of the freewoman who has been set at Liberty by the Son. The good news.
Romans 7:9-13
[9] For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. [10] And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me . [12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. [13] Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Romans 3:19-20
[19] Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. [20] Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
2 Corinthians 3:9
[9] For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
The ministration of condemnation showed sin to be exceedingly sinful. “The letter killeth” which Paul said He died(decreased) and Christ increased.
Revelation 13:9-10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
2 Corinthians 3:6
[6] Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
He that leads back into captivity of sin under the Mosiac law (the ministration of condemnation) shall go into the captivity of sin under the Mosiac law (the ministration of condemnation). he who kills with the sword must be killed with it.
What is the ministration of righteousness? The good news. Can those whom live by the gospel go before the altar of God and minister the good news of being set free from captivity and the bondage of sin and death by the Liberty of Christ? Can that which is barren conceive not chaff to be burned but fruit? Is that not the miracle? Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
Romans 7:23-25
[23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
The children of God are no longer under the capitity of sin and death OR under the ministration of condemnation(the Mosiac Law. The children of God are to preach the good news of the ministration of righteousness (mercy)by the Son who took captivity(sin and death) captive. The children of God do not lead back into captivity and therefore themselves go back into captivity. The children of God weapons are spiritual:
2 Corinthians 10:4-6
[4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds [5] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; [6] And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Do the children of God preach the good news of the ministration of condemnation, of captivity to the bondage of sin and death?
Or do we preach the good news of the ministration of righteousness: 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is liberty.
Romans 8:1
[1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
I’m sorry. Realize that is a lot and to be honest, not necessarily to you. People come here every day and confess they see God as only condemnation and they have never felt His love. They admit they do not understand why we follow such a condemning God and why we are so condemning. the first thing we do is attack and condemn...under the ministration of condemnation. Do we really want to lead INTO captivity to the mosaic law ....or lead into the captivity of Christ whom we serve in Spirit.
Where is the good news?
