21 | Do we understand suffering in delighting | Ps 37:4 | hopalong | 215828 | ||
His agony in the garden. He who made atonement for the sins of mankind, submitted himself in a garden of suffering, to the will of God, from which man had revolted in a garden of pleasure. Christ took with him into that part of the garden where he suffered his agony, only those who had witnessed his glory in his transfiguration. Those are best prepared to suffer with Christ, who have by faith beheld his glory. The words used denote the most entire dejection, amazement, anguish, and horror of mind; the state of one surrounded with sorrows, overwhelmed with miseries, and almost swallowed up with terror and dismay. He now began to be sorrowful, and never ceased to be so till he said, It is finished. He prayed that, if possible, the cup might pass from him. But he also showed his perfect readiness to bear the load of his sufferings; he was willing to submit to all for our redemption and salvation. According to this example of Christ, we must drink of the bitterest cup which God puts into our hands; though nature struggle, it must submit. It should be more our care to get troubles sanctified, and our hearts satisfied under them, than to get them taken away. It is well for us that our salvation is in the hand of One who neither slumbers nor sleeps. All are tempted, but we should be much afraid of entering into temptation. To be secured from this, we should watch and pray, and continually look unto the Lord to hold us up that we may be safe. Doubtless our Lord had a clear and full view of the sufferings he was to endure, yet he spoke with the greatest calmness till this time. Christ was a Surety, who undertook to be answerable for our sins. Accordingly he was made sin for us, and suffered for our sins, the Just for the unjust; and Scripture ascribes his heaviest sufferings to the hand of God. He had full knowledge of the infinite evil of sin, and of the immense extent of that guilt for which he was to atone; with awful views of the Divine justice and holiness, and the punishment deserved by the sins of men, such as no tongue can express, or mind conceive. At the same time, Christ suffered being tempted; probably horrible thoughts were suggested by Satan that tended to gloom and every dreadful conclusion: these would be the more hard to bear from his perfect holiness. And did the load of imputed guilt so weigh down the soul of Him of whom it is said, He upholdeth all things by the word of his power? into what misery then must those sink whose sins are left upon their own heads! How will those escape who neglect so great salvation? (Mt 26:47-56) (Matthew Henry. |

Justified by Faith 15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified [1] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. 17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness [2] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. |

Seacher,Note: God's day to you Hopalong Are you saying we are free to violate any OT Law that is not in the NT? - The answer is either yes or no. There is nothing between. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM." Apart from grace we all are lawbreakers. |

Dear, kamschoolgrad 1 Pet 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 1 Pet 2:14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 1 Pet 2:15 For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Regarding The Law of Moses,We Christians are under The New Testament and not the Old. Hopalong |

It is a shame that christians cannot be trusted to handle the WORD. Tim 4:6 In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following. |

From one sinner to another, Take Hope: The Lesson of the Rich Young Ruler How good are you? Does Christianity teach as other religions do to improve ones self to be accepted by God? You can’t be accepted by God by any religious work you do no matter how great it is, what God accepts is to have faith in the Gospel. This is what the Bible teaches us. One day the Pharisees who prided themselves on their works and devotion to God came to Jesus and asked what must we do to do the work of God. Jesus replied: “believe on him who sent.” This destroys any notion of using ones own righteousness for acceptance before God. Isa. 64:6: “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags.” In other words nothing we can do on our own has God approve of us. In Mk.10:17-22 We find a rich man running to Jesus and kneels asking him, “Good teacher (Rabbi) what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? He recognizes that he does not have eternal life, who better to ask then Jesus. What must I do to have it. He has a works related idea for salvation. To call Jesus good meant a moral perfection in Judaism, not just being a caring kindhearted person. So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.” The emphasis is on THE good teacher which no rabbi was called. Jesus explains that “One there is who is good,” only God who is good in the absolute sense. http://www.letusreason.org/Apolo24.htm |

Hi Tim, afer all is said and done, we will never plumb the depths of God's Word. Frankly, I find it odd for us to relagate any portion of Scripture the dustbin of the archives. Christians are like the flowers in a garden, that have each of them the dew of Heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other’s roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other. John Bunyan (1628-1688) |

Hi John, What is the will but the servant of man's strongest desire? It has been likened to a scale which tips one way or the other. Desire arises from a man's heart, which is by nature wicked and corrupt. Gen 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Hoppy |

40 | Why are some gifts of God not wanted? | 1 Cor 12:4 | hopalong | 208080 | ||
Dear Bowler, thank you brother for sharing your heart with me. I pray that your child will bring fort a multitude of grand kids for the glory of God. Even though I'm a refomed Presbyterian and I strongly disagree with Catholic Church on many of their doctrines, I do commend them for standing firm against abortion and contraceptives. God Almigty has proclaimed,and in no uncertain terms ,that children are HIS gift His Reward to His beloved children. How then, can those who call themselves by His name, seek to prevent HIS precious gift from arriving? Or even being sent in the first place. I pray that our younger brethern will heed The WORD OF GOD! Ps 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. We are faithless when we fear that children may be a hindrance and a burden that may have an adverse impact on our "lifestyle". Have we been saved merely to indulge ourselves on all the world offers? God Forbid it! No, we have been saved so that we may be wedded to our glorious and magnificent bridegroom, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am writing to my younger friends, from a heart filled with love you. I am envisioning you 40 years from now.God willing, I see you surrounded by a large family sons and daughters, a host of grandchildren and great grandchildren! In that day you will rejoice with great rejoicing and Praise God for rewarding you with a strong and beautiful children. From the bottom of my heart, Hoppy |
