After faith has come….

[Not me]

Galatians 3:24-5 (NKJV)
Therefore the law was our tutor [to bring us] to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

‘But after faith has come’

That being, that state of life Paul was addressing when he said ‘I am again in travail for you till Christ is formed in you’….. Or, being the same truth put forth in different words, that state of life where one has learned to live by faith, i.e. ‘after faith has come’….

For scripture says, Christ is the fulfillment of the law, knowing that Christ is the fulfillment of the law, this does not therefore change the requirements of the law, it just changes how those requirements are fulfilled…

For the law itself remains as the standard of what is right or wrong, for the tutelage of this standard is to continue to teach one to have faith in Christ, so that one might learn to trust Him in all areas of life so that by faith, He might live His life in and through one to the fulfilling of the law…

For one being directed to right and wrong is an on going process, for after one has partaken of the new birth, the law continues its work directing one to be perfected by faith in Christ…  

For the Spirit convicts according to the standard of the law of right and wrong, this is the conviction one senses in their innermost being when God is working in an area of life to bring one closer to the expression of Christ… This tutoring by the law is to bring one to be willing to give up one’s will and embrace God’s will in the area God has His finger on at the moment, that being, that one might turn to Him and trust Him in that area that His will might be done…. 

For it is from faith to faith one is called to, from this degree of trusting in God to a deeper degree of trusting in God… For there are only two choices possible in every set of circumstances, one being the manifestation of God’s will, the other being the manifestation of own will… For God uses the law to show one one’s need to be made anew in all areas of life, thereby, so that one might stay turned to Him in faith that this faith might bring to life a greater manifestation of Christ in the life…

For the life of self is that life that is under the law, one being separated from that life by faith in their death in Christ is the salvation offered in Christ, which death, frees one from own will, thereby freeing one from the guardianship of the law, being the constant director to bring one to a deeper trusting of Christ whereby one is to be perfected….  

For the life of Christ being brought to life in the time remaining in the body is the Christ being formed in one, for living by faith is given to grow this Divine Life in one…. For to the degree one lives by faith to that degree is one not under the tutelage of the law…

For the law, being the tutor, is there nudging one onto perfection, may it have its perfect work in the heart of all those that would have the will to be perfected by faith in Christ….

Be blessed in experiencing the ‘after faith has come’…..

I read your posting twice, but I am at a loss to get it's point. The problem most probably lies with me. So, if you could find the time, could you take the following Law and apply the three statements of yours to it. An example is worth much explaining. I just chose it at random.

12 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. 13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty: 14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. 15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day. 16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee; 17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise. (Deut.15:12-17).

Hello, I’m sorry, no, I believe I cannot, for I am at a loss concerning your words as I suppose you are to mine…So I will commit you to Christ to make you to understand my words, (if indeed there is life therein)… As I pray you will do to me concerning your words….

Be blessed in your relationship with Him…

I do not see a question, just encouragement.  My take;

As believers, we have graduated, from tutored rules/law for direction to simple faith/trust for direction.

No longer guided (only) by the 'what to do/what not to do' rules. But a new and better guide.
At graduation we were given an onboard navigator, God's spirit speaking to our spirit, making straight/directing  our path.

But we have to trust, by faith, that still small voice.  The more we trust by faith, the louder/more attuned to the 'voice'.
Faith + more faith = faith to faith...living in/by faith.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.     2 Corinthians 5:7

 

 

 

[Wayne222]

We are no longer under the law for righteousness. Now we are married to christ. It's the words of christ we obey from the heart because we love him. It's by faith we believe in christ for our righteous standing. Before our righteous standing was based on how well we kept the Torah. Once we are justified by Jesus blood. We walk by trusting the lords words. T hat is our sanctification.

Hi, it was meant to encourage, as was your post, and received as such….. 

From faith to faith…

Blessings as you continue to listen to that still small voice, as that voice draws you closer to perfection….

Be blessed in that love that obeys from the heart, and the faith that would desire it….

Blessings in your walk with Christ….

And encourage it did, thank you for posting,Not Me,💗

Thank you for the confirmation, it did do my heart much good…

As Paul went privately to get a confirmation, for we are all running in the light we see….

Oh, may God increase that light, that voice, that confirmation so Christ Himself might be seen, tasted, experienced the more, in each and every heart that would long to be His….

Many blessings as we follow Him, Not me
