Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Galatians 6:16:
Christianity's Shrinking RefugeGalatians 6:16
Excerpted from: Joshua's Four Miracles (Part One)And he then says that the Sabbath is a type of the rest of God, and that in itself is a foreshadowing of the Kingdom. Just so we get all our ducks in a row here. So we can say God's real rest, the one that He has been shooting for all this time, giving us all these examples from the Old Testament and elsewhere, even in the New, that is still future. The rest of God is still future and it is now open to God's elect. And it is still Israel that is journeying to God's rest, but as Galatians 6:16 says, it is the Israel of God.
It is a different group. It is a spiritual group. We call it just generally spiritual Israel. And it is the church, the Body of Christ. Lots of different names, but the same people. God's people whom He has called to take up this journey.
And so we will enter it only if we remain obedient and faithful, unlike ancient Israel.
Galatians 6:16
Excerpted from: Holiness (Part 1)These people were standing in, that is, they were relying in, they were trusting in, the name of their bearers - both physically and spiritually. Physically, they bore the name of Israel. Spiritually, they bore the name of God. But God is complaining, here, that their actions did not live up to either the majesty of their physical or their spiritual names.
This is a warning, I think, both to physical Israel and to the Israel of God, as the church is very plainly pointed out to be in Galatians 6:16. If we, who have taken (or bear) the name of God, use the name of God in any way that denies the true meaning, or character of God - we are either breaking the third commandment or coming awfully close to breaking it, or we are on our way to doing so. And it is interesting that the prophecies contain very much revelation along this line.
