EARTH - GOD’S UNIVERSITY OF FAITH

October 10,1999
The first students to arrive on this campus were Adam and Eve. Their first class was Obedience 101. They flunked this class. Genesis 3:1-19

As more and more students arrived on campus, most of them could not pass OB-101

At one time the student body became so unruly that all but eight students were executed.   Genesis 6:1-8; 7:17-24

God had a hard time graduating students; very few were able to pass all of the classes.  Here are a few students who managed to graduate: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua and some more - Hebrews 11:1-40

It was now that God rewrote the charter of his University and sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to be the new Chancellor. Hebrewa 8:1-13

With this new charter and power available to each student, more and more students were able to graduate - John 1:1-14; 3:1-8; Acts 1:1-8; 2:1-4

Here are the classes which must be completed for a full graduation:

Obedience 101 - Deuteronomy, chapter 28

Morality 201 - Exodus 20:1-17

Love 301 - 1 Corinthians Chapter 13

Truth 401 - John 4:21-24; 1 John 1:4-7

Integrity 501 - James 5:1-12; Revelation 21:8; 22:15

Faith 601 - Hebrews 11:1-6

Mercy 701 - Matthew 18:21-35

Forgiveness 801 - Matthew 6:14-15; Mark 11:25-26

Patience 901 - Matthew 17:14-21; Matthew 26:36-50;57-75;Luke 23:1-25; Mark 15:15-20; Matthew 27:33-37; Mark 15:29-32

GOD IS ALLOWING STUDENTS TO PASS IF THEY HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, BUT THEIR POSITIONS IN HEAVEN WILL BE LIMITED! 1 Corinthians 3:11-15

KNOW THIS, SALVATION IS BY GRACE AND GRACE ALONE, BUT GOD WANTS GROWTH IN EACH STUDENT!
Ephesians 2:8-10

God’s order in His educational system:

1. To arrive on the campus - physical birth

2. Kindergarten - To grow up physically

3. Grade School - Being born again

4. High School - To be set free and baptized in the Holy Spirit

5. College - Growing spiritually

6. Post Graduate work - Achieving spiritual maturity

7. Doctor’s degree - Being a living stone - 1 Peter 2:1-9

8. Becoming employed in the Kingdom of God - producing more than you      receive

9. Death - Graduation from the University of God - 2 Timothy 4:6-8

All things will work out for good for them who love God! Romans 8:26-39
