I am usually excited when a program I use comes
out with an update. Some of these updates have been amazing. It can add so much
to the program or application that I am using. I am not normal and get excited
for little things like my virus protection updating and therefore protecting me
from new viruses and such. To know that I am covered is a great thing. Yet
there are times when the program or app has issues.
I remember when
Microsoft went to Vista, I thought it was going to be cool to have Vista, I was
wrong. I never had a program crash and make my computer ancient. Vista truly
wasn’t bad, but the minimum requirements with my computer were nowhere near what
Vista needed. The problem was I bought this computer new and all computers had
Vista on them. It was a bad move, sometimes the old way worked better. Later
when I got a new computer and it was a lot faster, Vista was no longer a
problem.
While confusing
at times, some updates can be rough to start and get better overtime. When
Jesus came, it completely changed the way faith in God was. We had the Mosaic
Law that people were trying to follow, the problem with the Law, we are
sinners. We are imperfect and God knew this. The law would be perfect if we
followed it like we were supposed too. But we didn’t we are human and we
sinned. This is explained in Galatians 3:23-25…
“Before the
coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until
the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until
Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this
faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.”
The update allowed
us to accomplish what we weren’t before, faith without having to adhere to the
old law. Jesus brought an update that simplified faith and made it accessible
to everyone. Before it was only available for those who had faith in God. The
update was for everyone not just for those on PC or Apple. It was for everyone.
With Jesus, everyone
can now enjoy this update and the ability to have access to eternal life. What
a great update God made when he gave us faith in Jesus. The old way while good
at the time needed to be updated. Now we can all experience the love and grace
that faith in Jesus brings. Enjoy this update/upgrade and cherish it today.
Have a great
day.
