15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.[a] 18 I have […]

There had never been a man like Jesus when he came into the earth. John called Him the WORD made flesh. The Holy Ghost was poured out upon Him without measure. He was God inside and out. Consider the picture of the Ark of the Covenant gold on the inside and gold on the outside. Here this ark was the picture of Christ, who carried the Word and Presence of God. In the ark was the Word. On the outside of the Ark the Presence of God rested on the Mercy Seat. Here is Christ, our seat of Mercy. Here is where the Presence rests in the finished work of Jesus!!!

How much does Jesus adore and enjoy the church? Song of Songs 7:1–9a prepares us for the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these nine verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the Lord Jesus is captivated with delight in His bride. The lessons centers on the covenant of grace, emphasizing that it was established not with humanity in general, but with Christ, God's Eternal Son, Who serves as the federal Head of a new humanity. By uniting believers to Christ, the covenant secures for them not only the righteousness of a perfect man but also the divine sonship and inheritance of God's own Son. This union brings adoption as children of God, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and participation in the divine life through Christ. The theological framework draws from the contrast between the covenant of works with Adam and the covenant of grace with Christ, the last Adam, highlighting the superiority of Christ's redemptive role. The tone is both doctrinal and pastoral, underscoring the profound privilege and security of being united to Christ as the Eternal Son.

"In Galatians 3:26–29, the Apostle Paul brings his redemptive-historical argument to a glorious climax: all who believe in Jesus Christ are sons of God, united to Christ, and true heirs of the promises made to Abraham.In this sermon, we explore how Paul moves from defending justification by faith to unfolding its breathtaking implications. The law, which once functioned as a tutor guarding God's people until the coming of the promised Seed, has now fulfilled its role. Christ has come. Faith has come. And in Christ, believers are no longer slaves—but sons.We consider the doctrine of adoption alongside justification, showing how God not only declares sinners righteous by faith, but also declares them his own children. Through union with Christ—the true Son of God—believers are clothed with Christ himself and share in all his privileges. Because Christ is the Seed of Abraham, all who belong to him are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.Paul's declaration that there is “neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female” is examined carefully, not as an erasing of God-given distinctions, but as a proclamation of gospel unity. Ethnicity, social status, and gender no longer determine access to God or standing in his family. All who are in Christ are one—coheirs of the same inheritance, members of the same body, united to the same Savior.This passage reminds us that the promises given to Abraham find their fulfillment not in physical descent or law-keeping, but in Christ alone. And by faith, those promises now belong to you.You are not a slave. You are not a debtor striving to earn what cannot be earned. You are a son. You are a daughter. You are Abraham's seed in Christ—and an heir of everything God promised.#Galatians #JustificationByFaith #UnionWithChrist #Adoption #AbrahamicPromise #SeedOfAbraham #ChristAlone #GraceAlone #FaithAlone #BiblicalTheology #ReformedTheology #ExpositoryPreaching"

Episode 94 is live! In this episode we discuss Article 20 of the Belgic Confession: The Justice and Mercy of God in Christ. What was Christ accomplishing in his humanity? What comfort do I receive from the justice and mercy of God in Christ? We answer these questions and more in this episode of Full Armor Radio.Support the show
Chapter 4 begins with a call to action. Paul tells we are “to walkworthy of the calling by which we have been called (4:1), and laterin verse 17, that “we should no longer walk as the Gentiles walk”. In other words, we are to walk likeChristians—to walk as Jesus walked in this world. How did Jesus walk? Jesusforgave those who harmed Him. Even while hanging on the cross, He said, “Father,forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He lived with love and gracetoward those who were critical, bitter, and determined to hurt Him or push Himaside. My friend, that is the way Christ walked, and that is how we are calledto walk. When we walk that way, it makes a profound difference in our witnessfor Christ that Jesus told His disciples to be in Acts 1:8. Thissection of the chapter (vs. 17-32), begins with Paul saying, “Don't walk as theGentiles walk.” Instead, walk in purity, walk in love, walk in grace. And nowas Paul brings this chapter to a close, he identifies the main obstacle thatkeeps us from walking in grace—bitterness. We could spend weeks talking aboutbitterness. It is like a seed that gets planted when someone offends us, hurtsus, or does something that deeply wounds us. Our natural response is often adesire to get even. But Jesus told us, “Do unto others as you would havethem do unto you.” When we hurt someone or offend someone, what do we want?We want forgiveness. We want peace. We want restored relationships. RememberRomans 12:17-21, where God tells us to live at peace with all men, and to returngood for evil. Thisis where the victory lies. When someone speaks harshly to you, respond withkindness. When someone tries to hurt you, entrust that hurt to God and say,“Lord, You know. Give me the grace to handle this in a way that honors You.” Bekind to one another. Be tenderhearted. And here is the key—forgiving oneanother. Ibelieve the last words Paul speaks in this chapter are especially important.Often, we remember the final words someone says more than anything else. Paulends with forgiveness. When we forgive, we refuse to let the devil use ourheart as a playground. We refuse to let the seed of bitterness grow. Instead,we say, “God, You know best. You said, ‘Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,' saysthe Lord.” When someone hurts us—whether intentionally or unintentionally—andwe choose not to forgive, bitterness begins to take root. Our heart becomes abattleground with Satan. Bitterness causes us to treat others the way Satantreats people. Forgiveness allows us to treat others the way God treats people.And Scripture reminds us that as God has forgiven us in His loving, graciouskindness, we are to forgive others as well. Forgivenessis not only for their sake—it is for ours. It is the secret to a joyful,peaceful Christian life. Remember the motivations Paul has given us throughoutthis chapter to do the right things: We are members of one another. We do notwant to give Satan a foothold and we give instead of stealing. We speak truthinstead of lying. And we do not want to grieve the Holy Spirit of God or grieveour Father in heaven. Think about it this way: when children—especially adultchildren—are fighting and divided, it grieves the heart of their parents.Family gatherings become tense. Relationships are strained. That pain reachesdeeply into a parent's heart. My friend, that is exactly what happens when werefuse to forgive one another. We grieve the Holy Spirit. We grieve JesusChrist, who forgave us. We grieve our Father in heaven. Let'snot do that today. Let us forgive one another “just as God in Christ forgaveus”. Let us bekind and tenderhearted. And may God help us to show the world what it trulymeans to be Christlike.

Burning Down The House. In this episode, we continue our discussion of election, addressing the certainty of election, how we are chosen, the human limits of perseverance in faith, why the pope is a bad example of Christian piety, and how old Adam tries to invert election by burying it in our sacrifices and pious morality.

What is regeneration, and how can one know if it has taken place in their life? In this sermon on regeneration titled “A Child of God in Christ,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones tackles these questions as he leads through key passages in 1 John and Galatians. Dr. Lloyd-Jones systematically shows how salvation is proven in the life of a believer. Regeneration occurs when God implants spiritual life into people. Authentic regeneration proves itself in those who are living under the lordship of Jesus Christ as they outwardly demonstrate His holiness. But what does it look like? A genuine believer will show this regeneration in their love of other believers, conviction over sin, and desire for spiritual things. No one can produce this on their own. Regeneration means union with Christ. As Jesus taught in the gospels, a believer's relationship with Him is similar to the interaction of a vine and its branches—just as a branch cannot thrive or survive without the support from the vine, change in the life of a believer cannot take place apart from that person's union with Christ.
