GRACE
AND HOLINESS September 19, 1999 Review: Every time you make a decision, you will trade one thing for something else. GOD SAID: . . .I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, THAT BOTH YOU AND YOUR SEED MAY LIVE. Deuteronomy 30:19b OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS THE KEY TO HAPPINESS! John 15:1-7 Just as the GIFT OF REPENTANCE is given by God himself (John 6:44; 65), so is OBEDIENCE TO GOD! THIS IS A GIFT FROM GOD HIMSELF THAT MAN CANNOT PRODUCE IN HIS OWN POWER. Romans 3:10-18 OBEDIENCE TO GOD is PRODUCED ONLY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT! Hebrews 8:1-13 THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED TO BE USED AS A TRAINING CENTER OF OBEDIENCE! Hebrews 3:1-6THE GIFT OF WORSHIPING GOD GOD IS SEEKING WORSHIPERS! John 4:19-24********************************************************* CHERISH, APPRECIATE, GUARD THE LOVE OF GOD! The Bible tells us there are two type of actions, that will stop God from
calling us. 2. Sins committed by our ancestors - Exodus 20:1-5 These are spiritual laws - it is useless to argue against God! Romans 9:9-33 Because the people of Israel rejected God over and over again, they are still blinded. Isaiah 10:2–23; Romans 11:25-27 Jesus taught it clearly, only those with open ears can hear - Matthew 13:1-17 This does not in any way or shape take away any responsibility from man - Romans 1:18-32 Jesus clearly stated, man is responsible - Matthew 11:20-24 Once Esau was cut off, it was all over for him - Hebrews 12:14-17 People, harden not your hearts! Hebrews 3:7-19 KNOWING ALL THIS, LET US WALK IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD AND CLING TO HIM, IN ORDER THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKEN FROM US! Psalm 51:1-12 Do you have an ear with which to hear? |
