ISRAEL'S FREEDOM
Summary
When the children of Israel first came to Egypt they were well received and were not in bondage. As they matured or multiplied a slave master came and made them slaves. God sent a deliver to them (Moses). There was a sacrifice made and blood applied to the door of every Israelites home to avoided death. The children of Israel believed that through the things God did (pledges, Passover) that they were able to change their lives by leaving Egypt. They showed their faith by pack their things and leaving Egypt. Even though they believed and proved it by leaving Egypt, they were not yet saved from bondage. Not until they come up out of the Red Sea were they saved. The Red Sea is where Pharaoh's ability to keep the children of Israel in bondage was destroyed. Through the obedience of God's word given by Moses, the Israelites went down into the Red Sea with the Pharaoh and they came up out of the Red Sea without the Pharaoh. Through obedience, water saved them from the bondage of slavery by drowning Pharaoh. After coming up out of the Red Sea the children of Israel entered a safe area, the wilderness. At first they did not know what to expect or how to act, they needed to be nourished. They had to learn to trust God to provide for them. The safe place God gave the children of Israel (the wilderness) was a place to show their commitment to Him and His word, a place where God nourished them with food as they headed for the promise land (Israel). Most of the children of Israel did not commit to God and were separated from the rest through a wondering period where they died and did not enter the promises land. Although they fell short of entering the promise land they were still in the safe place God had provided. Those that did Gods commands cross the river Jordan and entered into the promise land (Israel).
CHRISTIAN'S FREEDOM
Summary
We are born into this world as children and are not in bondage of sin. As we mature satin comes to us and we sin which make us slaves to sin. God sent us a deliverer (Jesus Christ). A sacrifice was made by Jesus Christ and his blood is available for all too avoided eternal death. Those who believe through the things God did (through hearing the word) were able change their lives by repenting. We show our faith through what we have hear by obey Gods word and confessing Jesus is the son of God. Even though we believe by confessing Jesus is the son of God we are not yet released from the bondage of sin. Not until we come up out of the watery grave of baptism are we saved. Baptism is where satin's abilities to keep us in bondage is destroyed. Through the obedience of God's word given by Christ, Christian go down into the watery grave of baptism with sin and we come up out of the watery grave of baptism without sin. Through obedience, water saves us from the bondage of sin by the contact of Christ's death. For even though it is the blood of Christ that removes sin, it is in the watery grave where we receive a newness of life. Christ blood frees us from the bondage of sins. After coming up out of water of baptism we enter into the safe place Christ gave us, the church. At first we do not know what to expect or how to act, The Hebrew writer described a new Christian as one needing milk as a baby would need. Christian are expected to listen to Gods word. We listen to Gods word by reading and studying. By attending worship and bible classes. God expects us to learn and grow. The safe place God provided for us (the church) is a place to show our commitment to God and the word, a place where God nourished us with spiritual food as we headed for the promise land (heaven). Christians who sin fall short of Gods command are separated from God and the promise land (heaven). The scriptures are clear that brethren may depart, fall or be led away. There is no once saved always saved. The anti type being greater than the type, Christians can repent of their sin and be joined back with God again and again be on the path to the promise land (heaven). Those who continue to keep Gods commandment will cross the river of life and entered into the promise land (heaven)

Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 1 ¶ Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. |
