”But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.“
Galatians 4:26-28 KJV
Paul explained from Scripture, the difference between law and grace, ”In contrast, there is a heavenly Jerusalem above us, which is our true “mother.” She is the freewoman, birthing children into freedom! For it is written: “Burst forth with gladness, rejoice, O barren woman with no children, break through with the shouts of joy and jubilee, for you are about to give birth! The one who was once considered desolate and barren now has more children than the one who has a husband!” Dear friends, just like Isaac, we’re now the true children who inherit the kingdom promises.” Paul is showing that the law is a system of works that brings bondage and that the promise is a system of grace that brings true freedom. Let’s wholeheartedly believe in the grace and truth that came through our Lord Jesus Christ for true freedom. Amen!
