Hebrews
Do you ever find yourself calling yourself or others who follow Jesus Christ "Christian". The other day I was graciously corrected. Abraham, Issac, & Jacob (changed to Israel), are called Hebrews.
Exodus 10:3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says:
Faith or Works of the Law
Galatians 3:1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? 4 Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Yes. A person who has Faith in God is a "Hebrew" a child of Abraham.......
A Hebrew is a child of Abraham. Abram became the Father of many nations. Now he is called Abraham!!
Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision
Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless,2 that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, 4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Those who have Faith in God. |
Leading people to have "Faith" in God!!! Abraham's history becomes your history. America's Revolutionary war is a story of Hebrews, the story of God and his Children, children of Abraham- Men and Women who have faith in God to deliver them and save them from sin and oppression.
We are Hebrews, Saints, God's children Born of God adopted, grafted into Abraham's family...
We draw our identity from our Faith in God. We are not Christians, Irish, German, Italian, Puerto Ricans, Mexican's, Africans, Chinese, etc. We are Hebrews...
We are not Methodist, Episcopalians, Catholics, baptist, Non-Denominational, etc.
WE are Hebrews.
As always, we never want anyone to believe us just because we say something. If This is a message from our Heavenly Father's throne of Grace he will confirm this message and move upon you in the Power of the Holy spirit to deliver you, set you free, heal and restore your Soul.
We no longer follow our flesh by what is in our minds but we are lead by God's Spirit. For God is a Spirit and leads us by the Spirit. The Holy spirit Created the earth! He is very powerful. The Holy spirit is sound mindedness, very powerful, and LOVE!!!
