A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 11

Galatians 3:26
"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
So we're children of God not by keeping the Law, or the observing of Sabbath days or feast days or observing any particular holidays or Holy days this is to say festivals but by faith in Christ Jesus. Trusting the Redeemed of all man-kind, being receptive of Him in spirit and truth. Oh listen, how many millions of so called Christians are flying in the face of this verse and saying, "Yeah but I've got to do this or that. I think, we also need to do this. Or God will get the Glory no matter what." Hog wash! That is nothing but vain reasoning, the same reasonings that got the Jewish scholars in hot water in the first place. But you see this verse like all Paul's verses include none of that. We become the children of God by only one thing and one thing only, and that is by "Faith in the finished work of Christ." Which is all inclusive of the Last Supper, garden cup (the cup of self denial, the denial of reasoning's) on through His ascension. And that of course is what Paul is implying here. Paul never speaks that just believing that He was the Messiah. Or the “I love the Lord or I love Jesus”, for the LORD knows our heart and has said that those who say such are giving Him lip service only (Isaiah 29:13, Matthew 15:8, Mark 7:6).
That was back in Peter's gospel and his domain, that was before these inspirations of revelations (divine illumination) were given to Paul. When Paul speaks by faith in Christ he's talking about faith in all that lead up to and includes the finished work of redemption. "The fact that Christ died for us, was buried and rose from the grave for us, and our having walked through it and that for salvation." (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 to then be empowered to say with Paul Galatians 2:20) Then by way of divine illumination we're shown that God credits us as having been in Christ, during the whole operation of the sufferings of Christ.

Saul of Tarsus, who became Paul, then was called to reveal the revelation of Christ and His new administration both to the Hebrews and to the Gentiles. As the second Adam, Christ is now the legal parental head of all those who by way of divine revelation become His hairs in accord with Psalm 2 verses 7-8. But the Hebrews rejected not only Paul and his message (three times as recorded in Acts) but they did also Peter twice and Stephen when they stoned him. Remember that it says that Stephen was filled with the Holy Spirit, so when he was speaking Who was it that was actually speaking through him? The Holy Spirit, the Holy Father of spirit, who is none other than Christ Himself.

From here we'll allow the scriptures to speak for themselves.


Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” And now

1Corithinas 11:29
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation* to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.”
*From here we could look at Ecclesiastes chapter 8, or Galatians chapter 4 verse 4. In Ecclesiastes we find the rehearsing of vanity, but in chapter 8 when we apply ourselves to hearing this what do we find, and especially in verse 5:

Ecclesiastes 8:1-14
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed. I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? *Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

Now back to Galatians:

Galatians 4:4-5
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law (Genesis 3:15), To redeem them that were under the law (all the sons of the first Adam who poses the seed of woman, the ontological seed of Christ), that we might receive the adoption of sons.”
When we receive a discerning heart or a newly birthed spirit, we'll keep the commandment and shall feel or know no evil because as being One with Christ there is no guile or vanity, for even that is laid upon the cross. And do you see and hear what is here revealed? “When the fulness of the time was come”, which is in agreement to what was stated elsewhere. Christ as the promised seed came at the appointed time or season as the fulness or completion of that period.
