"Blessed or Cursed ?"

 

Genesis 17:1-8 "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I AM the ALMIGHTY GOD; walk before ME, and be thou perfect. And I will make MY covenant between ME and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and GOD talked with him, saying, As for ME, behold, MY covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish MY covenant between ME and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a GOD unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their GOD."

     GOD placed HIS unremitting love upon Israel, choosing Abraham as the Father of this people and making promises to him that were ratified in an unconditional covenant. The LORD gave oaths to the patriarch in Genesis 12 and later confirmed and amplified them in chapters thirteen (see picture above), fifteen, and seventeen. GOD, in HIS mercy and grace, made individual promises to Abraham, national promises to HIS seed, and universal promises through him to all families of the Earth. He enjoyed a personal relationship with his GOD and acquired land, servants, cattle, silver, and gold. To the nation of Israel GOD promised the continuation of HIS covenant with them, vowing that HE would make of them a great nation and would give them a promised land as "an everlasting possession" (v.8). Concerning all people, the LORD stated that HE would bless those who blessed Abraham and his descendants and curse whoever cursed them.

     Throughout history, nations and peoples have been blessed or cursed depending on their attitude toward the Jews. This is a principle that applied during Abraham's lifetime and throughout the history of the nation of Israel, and it is still in effect today. Abraham himself was a great blessing to all nations and is revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Israel has blessed the world by being the channel through which GOD sent HIS written revelation, the Bible. JESUS, as the seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:16 pictured above), has by HIS coming blessed the entire world, for the Scriptures tell us that "HE is the propitiation (sacrificial payment) for our sins and . . . also for the sins of the whole world" (1st.John 2:2). JESUS CHRIST is the SAVIOR and the MESSIAH; trust HIM today and be blessed of GOD today. JED

"GOD Loves You, Yes You !"

 

"For GOD so loved the world,

that HE gave HIS only begotten SON,

that whosoever believeth in HIM should

not perish, but have everlasting life."

~ John 3:16

We are loved.

This great Bible verse reveals four truths from the heart of GOD for all people. GOD wants us to know that we are loved. The LORD JESUS said, "For GOD so loved the world. . ." You are part of this world, and GOD loves you, yes, you ! HE gave HIS SON for you, and HE wants you ". . .to know the love of CHRIST. . ." (Ephesians 3:19).

We are if worth.

The LORD also wants us to know that we are of worth. We are so dear to GOD ". . .that HE gave HIS only begotten SON. . ." The Bible teaches us that we are all sinners. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD" (Romans 3:23). And sin must be paid for, "For the wages of sin is death. . ." (Romans 6:23).

But the Bible also teaches us that ". . .CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures" (1st.Corinthians 15:3). GOD demonstrated HIS love for us and our worth to HIM when HE sent HIS SON to die in our place.

The good news is that the LORD JESUS paid our sin debt in full when HE died on the cross. "For HE hath made HIM to be sin for us. . ." (2nd.Corinthians 5:21). CHRIST loved us and gave HIMSELF for us as payment for our sin. HE loves you, yes, you !

You may ask, "How can GOD forgive my sin ?" HE can because of what JESUS did. "While we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us" (Romans 5:8).

We can have hope.

GOD wants us to know that we can have hope. HE said, ". . .that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish. . ." Life is fragile, and people are perishing. But CHRIST came ". . .that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

In a world where so many have lost hope, GOD wants us to know that the ". . .LORD JESUS CHRIST. . .is our hope" (1st.Timothy 1:1). When HE rose from the dead HE said, ". . .Because I live, ye shall live also" (John 14:19).

We can have purpose.

GOD wants us to know that we can have purpose in life. HE desires that we ". . .should not perish, but have everlasting life." "And this is the promise that HE hath promised us, even eternal life" (1st.John 2:25).

You may ask, "How can I receive GOD's promise of eternal life ?"

Acknowledge that you are a sinner, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD." (Romans 3:23).

Believe that the LORD JESUS died for you, yes, you ! For "CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures" (1st.Corinthians 15:3).

Call upon the LORD to save you, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).

If you would be willing to turn to CHRIST in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer of salvation:

LORD, 

I know that I am a sinner, and I believe

YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting

YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me.

Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray,

AMEN.

The LORD JESUS said, "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of MY hand." (John 10:28). Everlasting life is ours when we receive CHRIST as our personal SAVIOR.

Now that you're a Christian:

*  Share your new-found faith with your family and friends (Acts 16:31-33).

*  Identify with CHRIST through believer's baptism and become part of a local, Bible-believing church (Acts 2:41, 47).

"To the Jew First. . ."

 

Romans 1:14-17 "I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of CHRIST: for it is the power of GOD unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of GOD revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

     Many of the Scriptures dealing with the first advent of CHRIST relate to promises GOD made to Israel that will yet be fulfilled when JESUS returns to inaugurate HIS millennial kingdom on Earth. As a matter of fact, the passages that detail the birth of JESUS in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are primarily announcing peace and good will to the Jewish people, as prophesied in the Old Testament -- but this was contingent upon their receiving the newborn MESSIAH as their LORD and KING.

     The SON of GOD offered HIMSELF to the Jews first, but they refused HIM. However, now "the Greek" (v.16) -- that is, anyone -- can be "grafted" into the family of GOD (Romans 11:17) by salvation through the LORD JESUS CHRIST: "HE came unto HIS OWN, and HIS OWN received HIM not. But as many ['whosoever'] as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of GOD" (John 1:11-12; 3:16 both pictured above). JESUS' death, consequent to the Jew's rejection of HIM, opened the way for all men, not just the Jew, to become members of HIS body by way of the new birth. Now, both Jew and Gentile can know the peace and goodwill of GOD if they will receive HIS gift -- this is why 1st.Timothy 3:16 is such a blessed verse, for it declares the good news that resulted from the birth of the incarnate LORD of Glory. Praise GOD for the wonderful Gospel of salvation by grace through faith alone ! Because JESUS CHRIST came, "whosoever will" may partake of "the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17). In this dispensation, Jew and Gentile alike have equal opportunity and access into the family of GOD. We must proclaim to all mankind, regardless of race, the glorious message of salvation by faith in our LORD JESUS. DWC

"Getting a Grip on the Bible"

 

Written by Dr. Tom Sexton

Deuteronomy 6:6-7, "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up."

Every child of GOD should have a working knowledge of the Bible.

Why Do We Need a Grip on the Bible ?

The Bible says in Daniel 11:32b, "The people that do know their GOD shall be strong and do exploits." Compare this verse with Hosea 4:6a, "MY people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. . ." So why do we need a grip on the Bible ?

For assurance of our salvation. The Bible says in II Timothy 3:15, "And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in CHRIST JESUS."

To keep our heart and life clean. The question is, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way ? by taking heed thereto according to THY WORD." (Psalm 119:9). As we spend time in the Bible, GOD's WORD will search our hearts.

To have direction for our life. Psalm 119:105, "THY WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." GOD has a path for every life. GOD's WORD will show us the path. ". . .HE marketh all my paths." (Job 33:11b).

To make right decisions in our life. Psalm 119:95b, ". . .I will consider THY testimonies." We should consider GOD's WORD before making life changing decisions. These are just a few reasons why we need to know GOD's WORD. What we do with the Bible will determine what the LORD does with us.

How Can We Get a Grip on the Bible ?

II Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the WORD of truth." There are five methods by which we can get a firm grip on GOD's WORD.

HEAR It:

Romans 10:17, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of GOD." We hear the WORD of GOD as it is preached and taught. There is a blessing for hearing the WORD. "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the WORDs of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." (Revelation 1:3). We forget 90% of what we hear. We encourage every Christian to take notes when the Bible is being taught. We will retain more of what we write than what we only hear.

READ It:

Revelation 1:3, "Blessed is he that readeth. . ."  I Timothy 4:13, "Till I come, give attendance to reading." We should have a schedule to read the WORD of GOD. As we read, GOD speaks to our hearts. We should mark verses that speak to us or verses that help us. We remember more of what we read than what we hear.

STUDY It:

II Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the WORD of truth." When we study the Bible, we are searching GOD's WORD. Acts 17:11, "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the WORD with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so." When studying the Bible,we can study people, events, subjects, promises, doctrines, and the list could go one. The more methods we use to study the Bible the more we glean from it.

MEMORIZE It:

Psalm 119:11, "THY WORD have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against THEE." As we put the WORD of GOD to memory, we are hiding it in our hearts. Make a list of verses you want to put to memory and start working on memorizing them.

MEDITATE On It:

Joshua 1:8, "This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." This is the most powerful method of getting a grip on GOD's WORD. GOD promises success to those who meditate on HIS WORD, also see Psalm 1:1-6. It is while we meditate on the WORD that the HOLY SPIRIT teaches us the truth of GOD's WORD.

I John 2:27, "But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM." This truly is the most powerful of all the methods of getting a grip on the Bible. This is when GOD opens our hearts and minds of understanding to HIS WORD.

The LORD can bring to remembrance what we have hid in our hearts. The Bible says, "But the COMFORTER, which is the HOLY GHOST, WHOM the FATHER will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26). GOD said when HIS people could not remember that, ". . .HE remembered for them. . ." (Psalm 106:45).

When we pray for people who have hid the WORD of GOD in their hearts, the HOLY SPIRIT can awaken the verses that ". . .liveth and abideth for ever. . ." (I Peter 1:23), the verses that are ". . . a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12).

Below is a bit of imagery to represent how hard it is to get a grip on the Bible with only one or two of the above methods of study:

1.  The little finger represents hearing GOD's WORD. If all we do is hear the WORD, we will not be able to hold the WORD (Bible).

2.  The ring finger represents reading GOD's WORD. We can hold the WORD better with two fingers but still will not have much of a grip.

3.  The middle finger represents studying GOD's WORD. We get a better grip when we include this method, but it does not take much to pull the Bible out of our hand.

4.  The index finger (the trigger finger) represents memorizing the WORD of GOD. This method gives us more of a grip, but we still cannot hold onto it.

5.  The thumb represents meditating on GOD's WORD. This method strengthens all the others, and we have a good grip on GOD's WORD when we use them all !

So let us follow through with all of the wonderful methods of Bible Study and we will have a good grip on GOD's WORD.

"The Burning Hell"

 

     GOD has prepared a place of eternal punishment for all those who reject HIM. It is called Hell, and it is a place of everlasting fire. The Bible, GOD's Holy WORD, states in Psalm 9:17, "The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget GOD." "He that believeth on the SON hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the SON shall not see life; but the wrath of GOD abideth on him." (John 3:36).

     Hell was originally prepared for the Devil and his angels. The Bible says in Matthew 25:41, ". . .Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels:" However, if you reject GOD's SON, JESUS CHRIST, and the payment HE has made for you, you will spend eternity in Hell !

     Should you reject GOD and go to Hell, you will never again be bothered by a Christian giving you a Gospel tract. Nor will you have to worry about anyone knocking on your door and inviting you to church again. However, you will remember every sermon you ever heard, every Gospel tract that you rejected, and every kind word from a Christian friend pleading with you to be saved.

     The Bible tells the story of a man who went to Hell. It says, ". . .the rich man also died, and was buried; And in Hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." (Luke 16:22-25). Should you reject GOD and the opportunities HE has given you to trust HIM, you too will one day be like the rich man that you just read about. You will be crying and begging for one drop of water to cool your scorched tongue, but it will be too late !

     My Friend, please don't let anyone convince you that when you die it will all be over. The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" GOD says judgment will follow your death. Now is the time to get ready to meet HIM, because your Judgment Day could be today !

     JESUS asked this question in Matthew 23:33: ". . .how can ye escape the damnation of Hell ?" The answer is so simple, and it is found in GOD's Holy WORD. To escape Hell, you must first realize that you are a sinner, and that you deserve Hell because of your sin. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;" (Romans 3:23. "For the wages of sin is death. . ." (Romans 6:23a).

     Secondly, you must realize that JESUS CHRIST, GOD's only SON, paid sin's penalty, that you deserve, in full. The Bible states in Romans 5:8, "But GOD commendeth HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us." "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . . .For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a, 3-4). JESUS CHRIST left Heaven and came into this sin cursed world of sorrow. Just think, HE left the streets of gold and the rejoicing of angels to come to this Earth and be crucified, so you could escape the burning Hell. John 3:16 says, "For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life."

     There is nothing that you can do to earn this gift of everlasting life. The Bible says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9).

     Finally, you must ask JESUS CHRIST to save you. Romans 10:9, 13 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved. . .For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."

     If you would like to receive GOD's free gift of salvation and be saved from the burning Hell, pray this simple prayer and receive CHRIST today:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for you always. In JESUS name I pray, AMEN.

     Please do not reject GOD. "BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." (2nd.Corinthians 6:2b). The Bible gives you this final warning: "And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire." (Revelation 20:15). Let GOD write your name in the LAMB's Book of Life. Trust HIM today !

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie

"What Wisdom Will Do; If. . .Then"

 

Proverbs 1:7-9 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother; for they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck." 

Proverbs 2:1-6 "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of GOD. For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of HIS mouth cometh knowledge and understanding."

     Wisdom is the ability to live life skillfully; it is the right use of knowledge. Godly wisdom provides the direction to life a righteous life in an ungodly world. In the book of Proverbs, through Solomon, the LORD gives HIS people detailed instructions concerning how to deal successfully with the practical affairs of everyday life. This book stresses GOD honoring life relationships (family, social, economic, civic, ethical, etc.), basing them squarely upon the believer's primary relationship -- with GOD.

     Proverbs, though it may not seem so at first glance, tells a story. It is the picture of a young man starting out in life. His first lesson is in the first chapter, with a follow-up in chapter nine -- "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" (v.7); "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10 pictured above). The central theme of Proverbs is the "fear of the LORD." This "fear" entails a reverent belief and confident trust in GOD and in the "beginning" (the essential, crucial, basic part) of the wisdom that is then discussed at length in the whole book.

     "Wisdom" is the instructor that teaches believers in the school of life. She [Wisdom] will protect her students (Proverbs 2:8), direct her students (Proverbs 3:5-6 pictured above), and perfect her students (Proverbs 4:18, 20-27), continually encouraging them to search for her as something precious and noting that the SOURCE of wisdom is GOD HIMSELF. When one seeks for wisdom, the LORD will reward that pursuit with the obtaining of it (James 1:5 pictured above). In contrast to the bleak darkness of evil, divine light will stream across the highway of the righteous. Look to GOD for wisdom -- it will protect, direct, and perfect you as a learner of the WORD.

     Solomon makes two significant statements in Proverbs concerning knowledge and wisdom. In Proverbs 1:7, pictured above, he writes that "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" and in Proverbs 9:10, also pictured above, that "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." Knowledge and Wisdom -- these are two essential elements that a child of the heavenly FATHER must learn; he needs to apply GOD's truth for the direction of his life. King Solomon, of course, was teaching his own son in the way of knowledge and wisdom so that he might be established in the way he should go. We would do well to "fear" [reverence] the LORD and likewise profit from this instruction of a father to his son.

     In the first six verses of Proverbs chapter two, we find the word "if" used three times in Solomon's instructions to his son: "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee" (v.1); he continues in verse tree: "If thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding"; in verse four: "If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures." Those are all conditional statements: If we fulfill the conditions stated, then GOD will fulfill what HE promises in verses five and six. Here is the outcome: "Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of GOD. For the LORD giveth wisdom out of HIS mouth cometh knowledge and understanding" (vv.5-6). Solomon says next: "HE [GOD] layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: HE is a buckler (personal shield) to them that walk uprightly" (v.7). What a blessed truth ! Today, pursue the wisdom and knowledge of GOD as you meditate upon HIS WORD, for HIS promises are sure. JED

"Religion or Salvation ? What is the Difference ?"

 

1st.Peter 3:14-22 "But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the LORD GOD in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in CHRIST. For it is better, if the will of GOD be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

For CHRIST also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that HE might bring us to GOD, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the SPIRIT: by which also HE went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of GOD waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward GOD.) by the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST: WHO is gone into Heaven, and is on the right hand of GOD; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto HIM."

     The Bible declares that "CHRIST also hath once suffered for sins, the JUST (the RIGHTEOUS ONE) for the unjust (the unrighteous ones), that HE might bring us to GOD" (v.18). Herein lies the great difference between religion and salvation. Religion is man trying to bring himself to GOD (by human effort, by sacraments, by good works, by following various rituals, by trying to measure up to certain moral standards, etc.). Salvation is wholly different. GOD knew that man, on his own, could never measure up to what GOD's righteousness requires, "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD" (Romans 3:23). Therefore, salvation is CHRIST bringing us (sinful, helpless, hopeless, and depraved men and women) to GOD on the basis of what HE did for us on the cross. Salvation can never be earned by performing certain religious deeds: "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to HIS mercy HE saved us" (Titus 3:5). It is not our doing (Romans 3:20 pictured above), but it is CHRIST's "done" (John 19:30 pictured below).

     The following illustration shows the folly of a religious man trying to work his way to Heaven. Consider two men seeking to go from New York to London. One man trusts his own efforts and jumping into the ocean, attempts to swim all the way to London. No matter how good a swimmer he is, he will perish. The other man gets on a ship and allows it to do all the work. The man of faith trusts CHRIST to do all the work in order that he might be brought to GOD. "I do not work my soul to save, that my LORD hath done. But I would work like any slave for love of GOD's dear SON !" GWZ
