The David Spoon Experience 8-22-23 Part 2
1) Dave opens the show by discussing the Upper Room in Acts 1, comparing the Tower of Babel and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Then the show offers up a plug for a struggling brother and sister in the business, ramblerrosecabins.com.
2) In Galatians chapter three, verse 15, Paul uses an everyday life example to help people grasp the distinction between God's promises and the law. The promise granted to Abraham is considered an irrevocable agreement, meaning that once God makes a promise, it remains unchanged throughout the universe. It's essential to reiterate that the Bible is replete with corporate and personal promises from God to His people. However, it is crucial to discern whether a promise genuinely comes from God or merely stems from our own wishful thinking.
3) The argument goes like this: You can’t change a will once the person has died. Even though courts have attempted to do so, it is mostly from an unrighteous point of view. God gave a promise to Abraham and his descendants, but the specific promise was to his seed, singular, meaning that the biggest blessing to all nations would come through a single seed of Abraham - Jesus Christ.
4) The next logical question is why God gave the law 430 years after giving the promise to Abraham. Paul addresses this in verse 19, stating that the Law was given to show people their guilt and serve as a tutor, showing that apart from Jesus, we are in trouble. The Law also established that the coming of the child to whom God made the promise would follow after the Law. Thank you, Jesus.
