Leviticus 20 speaks of penalties for depraved practices. I will quote brother Martin's book, page 220 – “Leviticus 20 takes up the heathen practices condemned in chapter 18, and attaches the penalties to be applied for those guilty of such depravities. It is curious that chapter 20 does not immediately follow chapter 18. One suggestion is that chapter 19, with its “royal law”, comes between to demonstrate “the more excitement way” to avoid such unholy behaviour.” The abominable practices with exhortations to avoid them. Verses 1-5 offering children unto Molech Verses 6, 27 people with familiar spirits and wizards Verses 7-8 exhortation to manifest God's holiness Verse 9 dishonouring parents Verse 10 adultery Verse 11 affair with father's wife Verse 12 affair with daughter-in-law Verse 13 homosexuality Verse 14 bigamy within the same family Verse 15 sexual depravity with animals (Men) Verse 16 sexual depravity with animals (Women) Verse 17 incest Verse 18 intimacy during menstrual period Verses 19-21 illicit relations with close relatives Verses 22-24 exhortations to reject practices of the Canaanites We conclude our comments on Psalm 119. And we must remember that this was written principally for the Messiah – our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 15 verses 4-5). It was written for his sake and to guide him, in the first place. We see his mind, his attitudes in every verse. We follow him who was the Lamb of God, being led by his Father (the Great Shepherd of Israel Psalm 80). Stanzas 17-22 and alphabet letters 17-22 are provided for our contemplation. Just a few verses for us to slowly read aloud; and pause and ponder – verses 129-132 verses 137-140 Verse 142; verses 145-149 Verses 159-160 verses 163-166 and Verses 174-176. Reflect upon these and think about the incomparable Christ Jesus. Try to apply these principles in your own life. Verse 176 is curious and some have said that it is not Messianic. But it tells us Messiah's mind. He is teaching us that without the guiding Word of His Father he too would have failed to walk the path chosen for him. Luke 3 begins with all the supposed somebodies of the age. To none of them does Yahweh reveal Himself but to a nobody in the wilderness. Yet what a message was the LORD's word. It declares the insignificance of human flesh. By contrast it announces that the transforming power inherent in God's Word to cause weak, frail and dependent humans to acknowledgment their sinfulness by repenting and aligning themselves in baptism with the forgiveness offered to them on that condition. John's message came from Isaiah 40 verses1-8, see Peter's comments in 1 Peter 1 verses 17-25. All those who were considered as the baser classes of society responded to the message of John the Baptist. The self important stood self condemned by their rejection of God's offer. Jesus, likewise, acknowledges that there is nothing in human nature worthy of perpetuating. Our Lord, would through his perfect life, submit in obedience to death; and being raised to immortality and by this he would declare God's righteousness. So Jesus submits to baptism and asks the same of all disciples. Our Lord Jesus' genealogy is provided back to Adam, and hence to God also. He is not only Son of Man through his mother whose genealogy is here given through Nathan, David's son – but just as vital Jesus is the Son of God. And it is for this reason our Lord was enabled to overcome sin: see Hebrews 1.

Brenten's final teaching through the end of the book of Romans. Topics include avoiding the deception of smooth euphemisms, serving the Lord Jesus Christ, packing the gospel into our praise and worship for the glory of God and obedience of faith. (Romans 16:17-27)

And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.” Romans 5:2 AMPC “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:3-5 KJV “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” Romans 5:3-5 NLT “Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.” Romans 5:3-5 AMPC “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6 KJV “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” Romans 5:6 NLT “While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly.” Romans 5:6 AMPC “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:7-8 KJV “Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 5:7-8 NLT “Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die. But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.” Romans 5:7-8 AMPC Romans 10:9-10  Salvation… Romans 10:17  Faith in God comes from hearing His Word… Matthew 11:28-30  Jesus'Yoke is Easy… John 3:16  God gave Jesus to pay for our Salvation… God Loves The abortion dr As Much As He Loves The Babies They Are Killing… Philippians 12:2  Work out your own Salvation… Romans 8:1  No condemnation in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior…  Luke Chapter 15 The Story Of The Prodigal Son… Philippians 4:19  God will supply all your needs let Him… Romans 4:20  Don't Stagger at What God Is Saying In His Word… John 15:5 We can't do anything aside from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… 2 Corinthians 5:17  We are new creatures in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… 2 Corinthians 5:21  We are The Righteousness of God In Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Mark 10:29-30  100 Fold Return… Ephesians 2:8  We are Saved by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Believe God's Word Above All Opinions God Loves The abortion dr's As Much As He Loves The Babies They Are Killing… Mark 10:29-30  100 Fold Return… Share This Podcast On Your Social Media… Website https://the-prodigalson.com Email tstacyhayes@gmail.com  YouVersion Bible App https://my.bible.comi iOS App https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prodigal-son/id1450529518?mt=8 …  Android App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.wizzard.android.prodical  Social Media https://www.facebook.com/The-Prodigal-SON-209069136315959/ https://www.facebook.com/noreligion1511/ https://twitter.com/noreligion1511 https://www.instagram.com/noreligion1511/ https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCPx4s1CLkSYef6mp4dSuU4w/featured

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). God has blessed us.

Church: The Hatfields and McCoysWe live in a world that is totally at war with itself. Our nation is being torn apart by division – racial, socioeconomic, political – you name it, and we've experienced it. But that's not how Christ designed His church to be. In fact, Jesus said in John 17 that when we love each other more than we love ourselves, the lost world will come to believe God sent Jesus and He is truly the Son of God. In other words, our unity and oneness with each other will be the strongest evangelical draw we have to bring others to Christ.But if you look around, all we see within the church is division. Some churches believe in the sovereignty of God, while others deify man and his free will choices. Some churches see homosexuality as a sin, while others have drag queens teaching the children on Sunday mornings. The church has a history of dividing on trivial matters such as the mode of baptism or our posture in prayer rather than uniting around the “faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3).But what did the Lord have in mind when He created His church? And does it look anything like what we've turned it into today? Let's take a few moments and do a brief survey on what the Lord said about His church.It's Unity Above Almost Everything ElseAs we've shared already, the early church was built on devoting themselves to the four disciplines found in Acts 2:42. And as you can see, two of the four deal with building our family relationships with each other in unity (fellowship and the Love Feast, or the breaking of bread).And they continued steadfastly in (were devoted to) (1) the apostles' doctrine and (2) fellowship, in the (3) breaking of bread, and (4) in prayers – Acts 2:42.Then we have the prayer of Jesus before His death on the cross. And what was the content of His prayer? Our unity in Him and each other.“That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us (why) that the world may believe that You sent Me” – John 17:21.Notice how many times Paul encouraged the church (and the individual believers) to humble themselves in unity with others like our Lord did. It seems that being one together in Him was continually on Paul's mind.Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be (what) like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, (why) that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ – Romans 15:5-6.Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that (what) you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment – 1 Corinthians 1:10.I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to (what) walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, (how) with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all – Ephesians 4:1-6.Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others – Philippians 2:1-4.Ugh, Enough AlreadyI know, too many...

1 Peter 1:1 Aliens from another country or foreigners in the world because of our faith (1 Peter 2:11). Our true citizenship is in heaven awaiting God's Kingdom. Chosen according to God's foreknowledge - Ephesians 1:4 The sanctifying work of the spirit - Titus 3:3-6 To obey Jesus Christ – Romans 10:9-10 “Be sprinkled with his blood” has three aspects: 1) ratified the new covenant, 2) cleansing, and 3) forgiveness. Reserved in heaven. God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ – Romans 15:6; 2 Corinthians 1:3; 11:31; Ephesians 1:3; 3:14; John 20:17; Matthew 2:15; 3:17; 17:5; Mark 1:11; 9:7; Luke 3:22; 9:35; Acts 13:33; Colossians 1:13; Hebrews 1:5; 2 Peter 1:17 4 This living hope is not subject to decay, destruction, or deterioration in any way. It is completely free from any form of contamination, impurity, or sin and is eternal and unchanging. 5 Already, not yet salvation. We have been saved, are being saved, and will be saved when Christ returns. 6 We greatly rejoice even though we have various trials. 7 We will receive praise, glory, and honor from Jesus if we remain faithful. 8 We greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible. 13 Prepare your minds; Christ is coming back. 14 We are not like everyone else in the world. 15 We are saints (holy ones), so we live holy. 17 Everyone is subject to judgment, so live accordingly. 22 Sincere, fervent love 25 We are born again by the living and enduring Word of God.

Romans 5:20b-21 …grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. In this last verse of chapter 5 we discover God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. He planned that as sin reigned over all mankind from the beginning with Adam's sin, His grace would reign over sin and death through His righteousness giving and securing eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Are you relying on the righteousness of Jesus Christ for eternal peace with God? Do you believe God's grace has triumphed over and reigns over your sin and the resulting curse of death? These words from Rom. 5:21 encourage us because they reveal the security we enjoy because of the grace in which we stand. We have eternal peace with God because the righteousness we have received is the righteousness of Jesus. Let's not miss the fruit of His righteousness—eternal life. Jesus defined eternal life in His priestly prayer recorded by John in chapter 17, verses 1-3 of his gospel. John 17:1-3 “Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, ‘Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.'” Who does Jesus give eternal life to? To those the Father gave to Him before the foundation of the earth. What is eternal life that He gives to them? The ability to experientially know God, the Father, and God, the Son. How did Jesus give them eternal life? Through His righteousness that He performed in the 12 hours after He prayed those words in John 17. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). If you know the Father and the Son, then you have eternal life. If you have the Son, then you have the life, wrote the apostle John in 1 Jo. 5:12. If you have Jesus' life in you, then you have the love of God in you. If you have the love of God in you, then it's intended to pour out on everyone He puts in your path, for His glory.

In Paul's introduction to the Romans, we see with a phrase that is repeated throughout his writings, “…Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 1:7, NIV). This week, Joel shows us how this catchphrase communicates a greater idea of the gospel—of what God has done for us and what He wants to do in us through these gifts of grace and peace.

Galatians  Talk 9   Galatians 5:22-23 The Fruit of the Spirit PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SUBSTANCE OF THIS TALK IS TAKEN FROM MY BOOK THE VOICE OF GOD – How he speaks to us today   In our last talk, as we were looking at Galatians 5:13-26, where Paul is contrasting the acts of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, we saw that we need to:   1.     Remember that even after we become Christians there's still a tendency to sin in our flesh. 2.     Recognise that we cannot overcome this by obeying man-made rules and regulations. 3.     Reckon ourselves to be dead. Dead to the law, dead to sin. Dead to the acts of the flesh. We're identified with Christ. We should live like Christ. 4.     Rely on the help of the Holy Spirit. Today we'll be considering the fruit of the Spirit in more detail. Paul lists them in Galatians 5:22-23. These are qualities that should be evident in the life of every Christian as they reflect the character of Jesus which the indwelling Spirit of Christ seeks to reproduce in us. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (You'll find similar lists in Colossians 3:12-15 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8). As we read the Gospels it is not difficult to see these qualities in the life of the Lord Jesus. And, as we see what Jesus did, God speaks to us challenging us to do the same. Our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). And, of course, our attitude will determine our actions. Let's look at this wonderful ‘fruit' in more detail asking God to speak to us through the attitude and actions of Jesus.   We'll take them in reverse order from the list in Galatians so that we will conclude with love which is undeniably the greatest of all the fruit of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 13:13). Self-control Right at the start of his ministry, straight after he was baptised in the River Jordan, Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.  Then, Matthew tells us: After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry (Matthew 4:2). He was hungry. What an understatement! He had eaten nothing for six weeks! I feel hungry if I haven't eaten for six hours! Then, suddenly, an opportunity comes to break his fast. Some of the stones in the desert may have looked like loaves of bread. You're the Son of God, aren't you? says Satan, Why not turn these stones into bread? Now Jesus knew that he was the Son of God. God has said so (just three verses earlier) at his baptism: This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17). Jesus knew that he had the power to do what Satan suggested, but just because you can doesn't mean that you should. I can't imagine how strong the temptation to eat must have been, but Jesus chose to listen to his Father rather than to Satan. He answered: It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God' (Matthew 4:4). What amazing self-control! Where did it come from? His relationship with God, his desire to please him and his knowledge of God's word. Could there be any greater demonstration of self-control? Yes, and we find it in Matthew's account of the crucifixion: Those who passed by hurled insults at him… saying… ‘Save yourself. Come down from the cross if you are the Son of God!' (Matthew 27:39-40). And Jesus was the Son of God, and he could have come down from the cross. But he didn't. Despite the agony, he stayed there. Why? Because he knew that if we were to be saved he must die for our sins. He must pay the price. He must take the punishment. So he stayed there. He stayed there because he loved us. Humility The Greek word translated as gentleness in Galatians 5:23 carries with it the thought of humility. Paul uses it a few verses later when he says: Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted (Galatians 6:1). This warning, to watch yourself because you might be tempted too, clearly implies that Paul is using the word gently to mean in a spirit of humility. This is confirmed by the paraphrase in the Amplified Bible which interprets gently as not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness. So it seems reasonable to assume that this is how he is using it when talking about the fruit of the Spirit just a few verses earlier. The humility of Jesus is most clearly expressed in two main New Testament passages. The first is Philippians 2:5-11. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross! This passage speaks for itself. It took humility for someone who was equal with God to become a man, to become a servant, to become nothing. And yet he humbled himself even further. He became obedient to death, even death on a cross. And as Christians we're encouraged to have the same attitude. The second passage is John 13:1-17 where Jesus washes his disciples' feet. In verse 1 we're told that Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. He knew that he was shortly to be crucified. But he also knew that the Father had put all things under his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God (v.3). And so he did something that would be an active demonstration of the truth later to be expressed by Paul in Philippians 2. It would demonstrate his humility and give his disciples an object lesson in how they too should behave. He got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist (v.4). Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel (v.5). This was a symbol of what he would accomplish on the cross enabling his disciples to be washed clean by the shedding of his blood. That's why it was important that Peter, who had protested, should allow Jesus to wash his feet too (vv.6-10). And Jesus' humility, his willingness to wash feet, to cleanse us from sin, was another expression of his love. Finally, when Jesus had finished washing their feet he put on his clothes and returned to his place (v.12). What a wonderful symbol of Jesus returning to his place in heaven after he had finished his redemptive work on the cross! (Compare Hebrews 1:3 …After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven). Then he said: Do you understand what I have done for you? You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them (vv.12-17). Faithfulness From the very beginning of his life here on earth Jesus came to do the will of God. Hebrews 10:5-7 tells us that when Christ came into the world, he said…I have come to do your will, O God. Even at the age of 12 Jesus knew that God, not Joseph, was his true Father (Luke 2:49). And throughout his life he was faithful to his Father's will.  In John 4:34, when the disciples were trying to persuade Jesus to eat something, he said: My food…is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. And in John 6:38 he says I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. But his faithfulness to God and determination to do his will are no more clearly seen than in the Garden of Gethsamane on the night before Jesus was crucified. In Matthew 26 we're told that he took with him Peter, James and John, and told them, My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow… Stay here and keep watch with me (v.38). Jesus then went a little farther and fell with his face to the ground and prayed: My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will (v.39). He then returns to his disciples and finds them sleeping! And this happens twice more. Jesus prays the same prayer, comes back, and finds them sleeping. This sad story reveals in stark contrast the unfaithfulness of the disciples and faithfulness of Jesus. The disciples can't even stay awake even at the time of Jesus' greatest need. Jesus knows what's going to happen. The thought of crucifixion horrifies him, and he asks his Father three times if there is any other way. But ultimately, when he knows that there is not, his faithfulness shines through. Yet not as I will, but as you will. But this story not only reveals Jesus' faithfulness to God. It shows his faithfulness to his disciples. If Jesus had refused the way of the cross – and he could have – what hope would there have been for them or for us? Perhaps the sight of the disciples sleeping reminded him of the weakness of human nature and our need for him to save us. His faithfulness, motivated by love for his Father and his love for us, gave him the strength to carry on. Goodness and kindness The English word goodness, like the word good, can be used in many different ways. It's very flexible. For example, we can talk of a good meal and we can refer to someone as a good person, but the meaning of good in each case is rather different. The same is true of the Greek words for good and goodness (agathos and agathōsunē). So we can't be entirely sure of how Paul is using the word in Galatians 5:22. However, in the New Testament the word is frequently connected with doing good works and in Colossians 1:10 we read: And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, The reference to bearing fruit in this verse seems to suggest that the fruit of the Spirit which Paul calls goodness relates to: ·       Living a life worthy of the Lord ·       Pleasing him in every way ·       Doing good works ·       Growing in the knowledge of God. And, of course, that's exactly what Jesus did. He lived a sinless life. He pleased God in every way. As a human being he grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man (Luke 2:52). And Peter, when summarising Jesus' ministry, said of him that he went about doing good and healing… (Acts 10:38). He not only was good. He did good. He was anointed with the Holy Spirit to preach good news to the poor… to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour (Luke 4:18-19). Similarly his kindness overflowed again and again as he met the needs of the poor and needy. Consider, for example, his kindness in turning water into wine at the wedding-feast at Cana in Galilee. We are so often preoccupied with the amazing miracle that we neglect the kindness of Jesus in performing it. And his goodness and kindness were surely motivated by his love. Patience The English word patience comes from the Latin verb patior meaning I suffer. That's why people in hospital are called patients – people who are suffering. But the Greek word makrothumia, translated as patience in Galatians 5:22, has a wider meaning. It comes from two other Greek words, makros meaning far and thumos meaning wrath or anger. So to exercise makrothumia is to keep your anger far from you. It's used elsewhere in the New Testament to mean patient enduring of evil, slowness of avenging injuries, or patient expectation. It's not difficult to see all these qualities in the life of the Lord Jesus. He was consistently enduring opposition from sinners (Hebrews 12:3), he prayed for the forgiveness of those who crucified him (Luke 23:34) and he endured the cross, scorning its shame because he patiently expected the joy that was set before him (Hebrews 12:2). But he was patient with his disciples too.  They were so slow to learn and to believe. On the eve of his crucifixion they still had not fully understood who he was. In John 14:2-9 Jesus tells them that he is going to prepare a place for them in his Father's house (v.2) and that they know the way (v.4). Thomas says to him: Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus answers: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him (vv.6-7) Then Philip says: Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us. Imagine how Jesus must have felt. In a few hours he's going to be crucified. And still they don't understand who he is. I know personally the frustration of a teacher whose students still haven't got what I've painstakingly tried to teach them! Yet I hear infinite patience in Jesus' reply: Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? (v.9). Peace and Joy Peace of heart, as every Christian knows, springs from that peace with God which results from our being in right relationship with him. Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). But Jesus had no need to be justified. He was the sinless one. He always lived in right relationship with Father! Yet there's one occasion when it appears that Jesus is not at peace. As he bears our sins in his body on the cross he cries in anguish: My God, my God. Why have you forsaken me?    (Matt 27:46). It's as if God has turned his back on his Son. Jesus has forfeited his peace. He's bearing your sin and mine. And God is too holy to look at sin (Habakkuk 1:13). Jesus sacrifices his peace that we might have peace with God. And he does it because he loves us. And Jesus' relationship with God was the source of his joy too. He lived life in God's presence, and in his presence there is fulness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Luke records that Jesus was full of joy through the Holy Spirit (Luke 10:21). What a pity that so many stained-glass windows and paintings portray him with a long and gloomy face! Jesus was a man of joy! Admittedly, he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). But that was primarily at the time of his passion, both in the Garden of Gethsemane and the events that led to his crucifixion. As with his peace, so with his joy. He sacrificed both so that we could have them. Love Finally, Jesus was a man of love. Love is the greatest of the fruit and it is possible to understand Paul's teaching in Galatians as meaning that love is the fruit and that the eight other qualities are manifestations of it. That's what I've been trying to demonstrate as we've looked at each of the fruit of the Spirit. They are all, in one way or another, a manifestation of love (Compare, for example, Colossians 3:12-14).   Jesus' love is evident throughout the New Testament, not just in the Gospels. Paul could refer to him as the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20) and this reference to the cross reminds us that Calvary is the greatest demonstration of love the world has ever seen. And, what's more, Paul says he did it for me. But can we expect to manifest fruit like this in our own lives? Yes we can. Through the help of the Holy Spirit. This is where I find 2 Corinthians 3:18 very helpful. Paul tells us that as we contemplate the Lord's glory, we are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, and this comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! …Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is (1 John3:1-2).   The more we see Jesus, the more we become like him.

The door of Justification leads us into the abundance of the Christian life! Here are some of the scriptures we are going to be looking at... Philippians 4:7 John 14:27 Colossians 3:15 II Corinthians 12:9-10 Proverbs 13:12 John 7:38-39

Romans 5 is a pivotal chapter in the New Testament, as it presents some of the most profound and comprehensive ideas in the entire Bible. In this chapter, the Apostle Paul delves into the themes of justification, salvation, grace, and reconciliation, weaving them together into a cohesive and compelling narrative of God's redemptive work in Christ.The chapter begins with Paul's declaration that "since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1, ESV). This statement sets the tone for the rest of the chapter, as Paul proceeds to unpack the implications of this justification for believers.In verses 2-5, Paul describes the benefits of justification, which include access to God's grace and the hope of glory. He explains that because we have been reconciled to God through Christ's sacrifice, we can now "rejoice in hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5:2). This hope is not just wishful thinking or vague optimism; rather, it is a confident expectation based on the reality of Christ's resurrection and the promise of eternal life.Furthermore, Paul argues that this hope is not a mere abstract concept, but is grounded in the concrete reality of God's love for us. He writes, "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). This is a powerful statement of the depth and breadth of God's grace, which extends to even the most unworthy and unlovable among us.In verses 12-21, Paul draws a contrast between Adam, the first man, and Christ, the second man. He explains that Adam's sin brought death into the world, but Christ's obedience brought life and righteousness. This is an important point, as it underscores the idea that salvation is not something we can achieve on our own, but is a gift that comes through faith in Christ.Finally, in verses 20-21, Paul concludes the chapter with a triumphant declaration of the abundance of God's grace. He writes, "where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" (Romans 5:20). This is a remarkable statement, as it suggests that even the most heinous sins are not beyond the reach of God's mercy and forgiveness.In conclusion, Romans 5 is a rich and complex chapter that touches on many of the most important themes in Christian living. At its core, it presents a message of hope and salvation that is grounded in the person and work of Jesus Christ. As believers, we can take comfort in the fact that we have been justified by faith, reconciled to God, and filled with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.SendMe Radio is now an online streaming internet radio station, packed with all the messages on the podcast.

‘And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.' —Colossians 1:18 ‘Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ‘ —Romans 5:1

Today's Reading: Luke 19:41-48Daily Lectionary: 1 Kings 1:1-4, 15-35; 1 Corinthians 12:14-31 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, "Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes." (Luke 19:41-42)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Interesting, isn't it? Jerusalem contains the word "peace" (salem) in its name yet does not recognize the peace of God in the flesh as He prepares to enter her gates. As Jesus wept at the death of His friend Lazarus and the lack of faith that doubted Jesus could call him out of the grave, so Jesus weeps over a people who cannot know and see (believe) that He has come to bring them peace. But those tears do not keep Him from His appointed task. In Luke 18, Jesus told His disciples what would take place in Jerusalem: "See we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day, he will rise" (Luke 18:31-33). Ironically, Luke tells us that this news was hidden from the disciples' eyes as well. Why would these things be hidden from their eyes? Because Jesus needed to fulfill His work. Nothing of what He said or did would make complete sense until He died and rose from the dead. The people of Jerusalem sought peace by other means. The disciples wanted a "Son of Man" who would be triumphant, not someone who would die nailed to a Roman cross. We tend to make our own "peace" treaties with God on our own terms.But it is the Cross and, finally, the resurrection of Jesus that changes everything. Your eyes have been opened to see and your hearts made new to believe: "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). Jesus does not now weep over you. He rejoices over you who are baptized and receiveHis peace! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. O God, You declare Your almighty power above all in showing mercy and pity. Mercifully grant us such a measure of Your grace that we may obtain Your gracious promises and be make partakers of Your heavenly treasures; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen (Romans 15:33).   In the Old Testament, God was often called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. However, in the New Testament, particularly in the epistles, God is known, more than anything else, as the God of peace. He's called the God of peace more than He's called the God of love or the God of righteousness. We see this referenced in Philippians 4:9: “…the God of peace shall be with you,” and in 1 Thessalonians 5:23: “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly….” The word “peace” is from the Greek “Eirēnē”, which is akin to “Shalom” in Hebrew; it's peace with prosperity. This is God's desire for all men. No wonder the angels declared in Luke 2:14: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Think about it! He brought peace between us and Him: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). The chaos experienced in some parts of the world today didn't happen by chance. They were inspired by demons of chaos who thrive in chaos. They use chaos as a tool for perpetrating their nefarious schemes through their human hosts and keep at it until people bow to their wishes. But God wants peace and tells us to proclaim peace to the nations. In the prayer He tells us to pray for all men, His intent is that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life (1 Timothy 2:1-2). That's what He wants us to have. He's always about peace. Even now, command peace for your city and your country. Declare in the mighty Name of the Lord Jesus that godly peace that brings liberty, grace, strength, health and prosperity will hold sway in your nation. PRAYER: Righteous Father, you're the God of peace, and I proclaim your peace upon my nation. Your peace, which passes all understanding and brings liberty, grace, strength, health and prosperity holds sway in all nations, in Jesus' Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (KJV) 1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Jeremiah 29:7 (KJV) 7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. John 14:27 (KJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.

Talk 3. God speaks to us through Jesus (Part 2) Last time: God speaks to us in the person of Jesus God speaks to us in the words of Jesus Today: God speaks to us in the actions of Jesus In his letter to the Galatians Paul lists nine wonderful qualities which he calls the fruit of the Spirit[1]. These qualities should be evident in the life of every Christian as they reflect the character of Jesus which the indwelling Spirit of Christ seeks to reproduce in us. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). As we read the Gospels it is not difficult to see these qualities in the life of the Lord Jesus. And, as we see what Jesus did, God speaks to us challenging us to do the same. Our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). And, of course, our attitude will determine our actions. Let's look at this wonderful ‘fruit' in more detail asking God to speak to us through the attitude and actions of Jesus.   We'll take them in reverse order from the list in Galatians so that we will conclude with love which is undeniably the greatest of all the fruit of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 13:13). Self-control Right at the start of his ministry, straight after he was baptised in the River Jordan, Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.  Then, Matthew tells us: After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry (Matthew 4:2). He was hungry. What an understatement! He had eaten nothing for six weeks! I feel hungry if I haven't eaten for six hours! Then, suddenly, an opportunity comes to break his fast. Some of the stones in the desert may have looked like loaves of bread. You're the Son of God, aren't you? says Satan, Why not turn these stones into bread? Now Jesus knew that he was the Son of God. God has said so (just three verses earlier) at his baptism: This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17). Jesus knew that he had the power to do what Satan suggested, but just because you can doesn't mean that you should. I can't imagine how strong the temptation to eat must have been, but Jesus chose to listen to his Father rather than to Satan. He answered: It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God' (Matthew 4:4). What amazing self-control! Where did it come from? His relationship with God, his desire to please him and his knowledge of God's word. Could there be any greater demonstration of self-control? Yes, and we find it in Matthew's account of the crucifixion: Those who passed by hurled insults at him… saying… ‘Save yourself. Come down from the cross if you are the Son of God!' (Matthew 27:39-40). And Jesus was the Son of God, and he could have come down from the cross. But he didn't. Despite the agony, he stayed there. Why? Because he knew that if we were to be saved he must die for our sins. He must pay the price. He must take the punishment. So he stayed there. He stayed there because he loved us. Let God speak to you through the example of Jesus' self-control. Humility The Greek word translated as gentleness in Galatians 5:23 carries with it the thought of humility. Paul uses it a few verses later when he says: Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted (Galatians 6:1). This warning, to watch yourself because you might be tempted too, clearly implies that Paul is using the word gently to mean in a spirit of humility. This is confirmed by the paraphrase in the Amplified Bible which interprets gently as not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness. So it seems reasonable to assume that this is how he is using it when talking about the fruit of the Spirit just a few verses earlier. The humility of Jesus is most clearly expressed in two main New Testament passages. The first is Philippians 2:5-11. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross! This passage speaks for itself. It took humility for someone who was equal with God to become a man, to become a servant, to become nothing. And yet he humbled himself even further. He became obedient to death, even death on a cross. And as Christians we're encouraged to have the same attitude. The second passage is John 13:1-17 where Jesus washes his disciples' feet. In verse 1 we're told that Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. He knew that he was shortly to be crucified. But he also knew that the Father had put all things under his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God (v.3). And so he did something that would be an active demonstration of the truth later to be expressed by Paul in Philippians 2. It would demonstrate his humility and give his disciples an object lesson in how they too should behave. He got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist (v.4). Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel (v.5). This was a symbol of what he would accomplish on the cross enabling his disciples to be washed clean by the shedding of his blood. That's why it was important that Peter, who had protested, should allow Jesus to wash his feet too (vv.6-10). And Jesus' humility, his willingness to wash feet, to cleanse us from sin, was another expression of his love. Finally, when Jesus had finished washing their feet he put on his clothes and returned to his place (v.12).[2] Then he said: Do you understand what I have done for you? You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them (vv.12-17). Let God speak to you through the example of Jesus' humility. Faithfulness From the very beginning of his life here on earth Jesus came to do the will of God. Hebrews 10:5-7 tells us that when Christ came into the world, he said…I have come to do your will, O God. Even at the age of 12 Jesus knew that God, not Joseph, was his true Father (Luke 2:49). And throughout his life he was faithful to his Father's will.  In John 4:34, when the disciples were trying to persuade Jesus to eat something, he said: My food…is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. And in John 6:38 he says I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. But his faithfulness to God and determination to do his will are no more clearly seen than in the Garden of Gethsamane on the night before Jesus was crucified. In Matthew 26 we're told that he took with him Peter, James and John, and told them, My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow… Stay here and keep watch with me (v.38). Jesus then went a little farther and fell with his face to the ground and prayed: My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will (v.39). He then returns to his disciples and finds them sleeping! And this happens twice more. Jesus prays the same prayer, comes back, and finds them sleeping. This sad story reveals in stark contrast the unfaithfulness of the disciples and faithfulness of Jesus. The disciples can't even stay awake even at the time of Jesus' greatest need. Jesus knows what's going to happen. The thought of crucifixion horrifies him, and he asks his Father three times if there is any other way. But ultimately, when he knows that there is not, his faithfulness shines through. Yet not as I will, but as you will. But this story not only reveals Jesus' faithfulness to God. It shows his faithfulness to his disciples. If Jesus had refused the way of the cross – and he could have – what hope would there have been for them or for us? Perhaps the sight of the disciples sleeping reminded him of the weakness of human nature and our need for him to save us. His faithfulness, motivated by love for his Father and his love for us, gave him the strength to carry on. Let God speak to you through the example of Jesus' faithfulness. Goodness and kindness The English word goodness, like the word good, can be used in many different ways. It's very flexible. For example, we can talk of a good meal and we can refer to someone as a good person, but the meaning of good in each case is rather different. The same is true of the Greek words for good and goodness (agathos and agathōsunē). So we can't be entirely sure of how Paul is using the word in Galatians 5:22. However, in the New Testament the word is frequently connected with doing good works and in Colossians 1:10 we read: And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, The reference to bearing fruit in this verse seems to suggest that the fruit of the Spirit which Paul calls goodness relates to: Living a life worthy of the Lord Pleasing him in every way Doing good works Growing in the Knowledge of God. And, of course, that's exactly what Jesus did. He lived a sinless life. He pleased God in every way. As a human being he grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man (Luke 2:52). And Peter, when summarising Jesus' ministry, said of him that he went about doing good and healing… (Acts 10:38). He not only was good. He did good. He was anointed with the Holy Spirit to preach good news to the poor… to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour (Luke 4:18-19). Similarly his kindness overflowed again and again as he met the needs of the poor and needy. Consider, for example, his kindness in turning water into wine at the wedding-feast at Cana in Galilee. We are so often preoccupied with the amazing miracle that we neglect the kindness of Jesus in performing it. And his goodness and kindness were surely motivated by his love. Let God speak to you through the goodness and kindness of Jesus. Patience The English word patience comes from the Latin verb patior meaning I suffer. That's why people in hospital are called patients – people who are suffering. But the Greek word makrothumia, translated as patience in Galatians 5:22, has a wider meaning. It comes from two other Greek words, makros meaning far and thumos meaning wrath or anger. So to exercise makrothumia is to keep your anger far from you. It's used elsewhere in the New Testament to mean patient enduring of evil, slowness of avenging injuries, or patient expectation. It's not difficult to see all these qualities in the life of the Lord Jesus. He was consistently enduring opposition from sinners (Hebrews 12:3), he prayed for the forgiveness of those who crucified him (Luke 23:34) and he endured the cross, scorning its shame because he patiently expected the joy that was set before him (Hebrews 12:2). But he was patient with his disciples too.  They were so slow to learn and to believe. On the eve of his crucifixion they still had not fully understood who he was. In John 14:2-9 Jesus tells them that he is going to prepare a place for them in his Father's house (v.2) and that they know the way (v.4). Thomas says to him: Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus answers: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him (vv.6-7) Then Philip says: Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us. Imagine how Jesus must have felt. In a few hours he's going to be crucified. And still they don't understand who he is. I know personally the frustration of a teacher whose students still haven't got what I've painstakingly tried to teach them! Yet I hear infinite patience in Jesus' reply: Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? (v.9). How amazing! Let God speak to you through the example of Jesus' patience. Peace and Joy Peace of heart, as every Christian knows, springs from that peace with God which results from our being in right relationship with him. Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). But Jesus had no need to be justified. He was the sinless one. He always lived in right relationship with Father! Yet there's one occasion when it appears that Jesus is not at peace. As he bears our sins in his body on the cross he cries in anguish: My God, my God. Why have you forsaken me?    (Matthew 27:46). It's as if God has turned his back on his Son. Jesus has forfeited his peace. He's bearing your sin and mine. And God is too holy to look at sin[3]. Jesus sacrifices his peace that we might have peace with God. And he does it because he loves us. And Jesus' relationship with God was the source of his joy too. He lived life in God's presence, and in his presence there is fulness of joy[4]. Luke records that Jesus was full of joy through the Holy Spirit[5] (Luke 10:21). What a pity that so many stained-glass windows and paintings portray him with a long and gloomy face! Jesus was a man of joy! Admittedly, he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief[6]. But that was primarily at the time of his passion, both in the Garden of Gethsemane and the events that led to his crucifixion. As with his peace, so with his joy. He sacrificed both so that we could have them. Let God speak to you through the example of Jesus' peace and joy. Love Finally, Jesus was a man of love. Love is the greatest of the fruit and it is possible to understand Paul's teaching in Galatians as meaning that love is the fruit and that the eight other qualities are manifestations of it. That's what I've been trying to demonstrate as we've looked at each of the fruit of the Spirit. They are all, in one way or another, a manifestation of love[7]. Jesus' love is evident throughout the New Testament, not just in the Gospels. Paul could refer to him as the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20) and this reference to the cross reminds us that Calvary is the greatest demonstration of love the world has ever seen. And, what's more, Paul says he did it for me. In the last two talks we have seen how God speaks to us through the person, the words, and the actions of Jesus. In all these three ways God continues to speak through Jesus, revealing what God is like, teaching us what to believe, and showing us how we should live. But, most important of all, he is telling us that he loves us. [1] You'll find a similar lists in Colossians 3:12-15 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.   [2] What a wonderful symbol of Jesus returning to his place in heaven after he had finished his redemptive work on the cross! Compare Hebrews 1:3 …After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. [3] See Habakkuk 1:13 [4] Psalm 16:11 [5] Luke 10:21 [6] Isaiah 53:3 [7] Compare, for example, Colossians 3:12-14

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"-Romans 5:1 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/treva-carter/support

The New Testament talks about power in the gospel. We might be tempted to think the gospel just has to do with getting saved—"I believe the story about Jesus, and then when I die I get to go to heaven." This view almost makes the gospel seem irrelevant for life. Why do we need the gospel's power? The gospel (the “good news”) is about so much more than what happens after we die. It's about Jesus defeating the brokenness that has invaded His good creation, restoring His people to new life, and defeating death forever as He reigns as King. It means the hurt we see in the world, the sins that overtake us, and Satan's evil work will all be crushed beneath the scarred feet of Jesus Christ. The gospel is powerful! In Paul's letter to the Christians in Ephesus, he talks about this gospel power. One reason God gives us power in the gospel is because we live in enemy-occupied territory. The Christian has three enemies: 1) our own sinful desires; 2) the sin that has invaded the world, including lies, false philosophies, and sin-driven peer pressure; and 3) Satan, the prince of the power of the air, our great accuser who prowls around seeking someone to devour (Ephesians 2:2-3; 1 Peter 5:8). How am I, with my little arms, going to fight against my sinful desires, the world's broken system, and Satan and his forces? There's no way on my own. But in the gospel, I am not on my own. I have put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14) and the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11). He is always working His good purposes. He brought us victory through His life, death, and resurrection, and He promises to return to fully establish His kingdom, defeating sin, death, and Satan forever. With the same power that raised Christ from the dead at work in me (Ephesians 1:19-20), I can have victory over sin, the brokenness in the world, and the devil. Paul prays for the church in Ephesus, not that they would get power, but that they would know the power they already have (Ephesians 1:15-19)! If you know Jesus, you already have His power. The Holy Spirit dwells in you, empowering you to follow Jesus and to rest in the hope of the victory He has already won. • Jeff Weddle • Why do you think God would want to give us power? • Where do you see brokenness at work in the world? In yourself? How can Jesus bring hope and healing to these places? I pray...that you may know...his incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians 1:18-19 (NIV)

We cannot prevent the three enemies of our souls from intruding upon us. There is the devil. He will come and go. But we can use God's word to thwart his ploys. Then comes our own sinful nature, the flesh, in which "nothing good dwells" (cf. Romans 7:18). This we must daily drown by contrition and repentance, remembering that we are baptized into Jesus' death and resurrection, remembering that we are no longer slaves to sin (Romans 6:1-6). But the world is all around us. And everywhere we turn it will seek to force us into its mold. Against that we must renew our minds (Romans 12:1-5). Satan will come again for Jesus. Peter will be his messenger (cf. Matthew 16:13-23). But we must remember that Satan's days are numbered. And the daily troubles and tribulations we experience are nothing compared with the glory that will be ours through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:18). He has overcome Satan - despite his relentless attacks, innuendos, and schemes.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. (Ephesians 6:10-11)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. I spent eight months in the country of Afghanistan as a United States Navy chaplain. Nearly every day for those eight months I had to put on a 17-pound protective armored vest and a three-pound Kevlar helmet. Many times, I wondered if I could just dispense with wearing that cumbersome gear and lighten my load. But soon enough, the sound of enemy fire or the thought of my wife and three young children at home motivated me to hoist on that armor for another day. It would have been foolish to cast aside the protection that had been issued to me. I was given the armor to protect me from danger in a dangerous combat zone. So it is for you. Whether you recognize it or not, you are fighting on a great and terrible battlefield. The enemy is mostly unseen but nonetheless real. The spiritual forces of evil and Satan are constantly scheming to find a way to separate you from the Lord your God. You even must battle your old sinful self with its deadly desires. The great news is that you are not alone in this fight. Christ, the victor over death and the devil, fights for you. He lords His Cross, death, and empty grave over the evil one and He provides you with the armor to ensure your survival in body and soul. The armor comes from Him. You have the belt of truth, the Word of God. You wear the breastplate of righteousness: the righteousness of Christ that covers your sinful self. You have been given the Gospel of peace, that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).You have received the shield of faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), the helmet of salvation, and the Word of God which is the sword of the Spirit. All these gifts are from God and are bestowed on you by God's grace in Christ. You are united to Jesus. You are baptized! His strength and might are yours (Romans 6:3-4)!  It is pure gift. You are safe and sound in Jesus. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.So wield well your blade, Rejoice in its pow'rs, Fight on undismayed For Jesus is ours!Then in Him victorious Your armor lay down, To praise, ever glorious, His cross and His crown.

Today, Monday October 25 Mercy, Peace and Love Jude 1:1-3 “Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” We noticed yesterday that Jude is writing this small letter to the called, sanctified and preserved! Certainly those of us who know Christ as our personal Lord and Savior enjoy a unique position. We are called by God to be set apart for God that they might enjoy love with God. While our fellowship with the Father might change from day to day, our relationship as children cannot and will never change. We are "preserved in Jesus Christ." This reminds me of my life's verse: “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6) Because Jude would write a great deal in this letter about sin and judgment, he was careful at the very outset to define the special place that believers have in the heart and plan of God. The apostates would sin, fall, and suffer condemnation; but the true believers would be kept safe in Jesus Christ for all eternity. Because we are set apart and preserved, God makes us the recipients of God's choicest blessings: mercy, peace, and love. Like the Apostle Peter, Jude wanted these special blessings to be multiplied in their lives (1 Peter 1:2; 2 Peter 1:2). God in His mercy does not give us what we deserve. Instead, He gave our punishment to His own Son on the cross. "Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.... But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities" (Isaiah 53:4-5). Because of Christ's work on the cross, we as believers enjoy peace. The unsaved person is at war with God and cannot please Him (Rom. 8:7-8); but when he trusts the Savior, the war ends and he receives God's peace: “Therefore having been justified by grace, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). We can also have the “peace of God rule” (Colossians 3:15), or control our emotions and hearts as we face the trials of life in this world. Jesus promised us in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” We as believers and followers of Jesus Christ also experience God's love. “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:5). The Cross is God's demonstration of love (Romans 5:8), but His love is not experienced within until His Spirit comes into the believing heart. As we grow in our spiritual life, we enters into a deeper relationship of love. John speaks of this in John 14:21-24, “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Jude said that this mercy, peace and love is “multiplied” to us! In other words, it grows exponentially as we stand up for Jesus and against the apostate teachers and false philosophies of this world. The reservoir of His mercy, peace and love to us will never be depleted!!!! It is my prayer that you will enjoy these blessings today! God bless!

No matter how imperfect or flawed we are, we are called to live righteously before God, but we cannot do it on our own. Every day, we must examine ourselves and our hearts and identify what is not of God. We must put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Clothe Yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ

Romans 5:1-11 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. 6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. In this morning’s sermon text, the Apostle Paul declares that “while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son” (Romans 5:10). We’ll declare this truth right along with him when we sing, “Let us love the Lord who bought us, pitied us when enemies” (Let Us Love And Sing And Wonder). Because of Christ’s atoning work on the cross, we who were still enemies “have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). The peace which we cry out for when we sing “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us Thy peace” (Lamb Of God) is found in the blood of Jesus— “this is all our hope and peace” (Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus). Because of His death, we can sing confidently “what heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!” I pray that the Lord would fill us with His peace this morning. —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Justified, Access, Hope, Shame, Ungodly, Sinners, Enemies, Saved Keystone Verse: God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

Message from Craig Nelson on Mar 1, 2020

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:9) Peacemakers This phrase by Jesus is a great comfort to all of us. It tells us that Christians--the sons of God--should be people who make and love peace. That is one of the great virtues of Christianity--peace. St. Paul opened each of his epistles with the words: "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:3; etc.). St. Paul blessed each congregation as well as every preacher should before he gets up to preach. After all, those who preach should be seen as peacemakers--not trying to quell every problem that happens in their congregations, but providing spiritual counsel for those congregations. Peacemakers are not problem-solvers. They are ones who trust in the true spiritual counsel that comes from the Word of God. That's the source of true peace. Amen.
