Tonight at camp, Addison Road and the drama group All Things To All People did their usual good job of serving us. Ben Stuart began by having everyone singing “Father Abraham” then spent the rest of his time unpacking what the significance of being a child of Abraham has. He took some time speak of the dick and troubled nature of our culture. But God came to rescue His people and specifically He came to Abraham with promises in Genesis 12 and 15. The answer to the question of how we can be declared right like Abraham was in Genesis 15:6 is FAITH. As we believe in Jesus, we can be declared right in God’s sight.
Another great thing that came out tonight was the purpose of the Law being an X-Ray revealing something’s broken and we need the Great Physician to heal us. Coming back to Galatians 3, Ben brought out the truth of how the law functions. As we see our sin, we can become right in God’s sight through faith in Christ.
