Let's Look at God Through...


Jesus Christ
Does the will of the Father!

John 4:34 - Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
John 5:30 -  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

John 6:38-40  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

    1)  An inheritance - all which he hath given me  - raise IT up    -------- the walk!
    2)  Give everlasting life -  believeth on him  - raise HIM up --------salvation!


Paul
Carries on the same ministry given to him by Jesus Christ!

Acts 9:16,16  But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:  For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

It all fits in God's will!
    1)  An inheritance -  great things - raise IT up    -------- the walk!
    2)  Give everlasting life -  bear my name before the Gentiles - raise HIM up --------salvation!

Acts 26:17-18  Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,  To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
It all fits in God's will!
    1)  An inheritance - inheritance  - raise IT up    -------- the walk!
    2)  Give everlasting life - inheritance - raise HIM up --------salvation!

Acts 28:31  Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
It all fits in God's will!
    1)  An inheritance - teaching those things  - raise IT up    -------- the walk!
    2)  Give everlasting life - kingdom of God - raise HIM up --------salvation!

Galatians 1:4,5  Paul even states Christ's purpose which is to give God the glory! - Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Paul Does it God's Way, Too!

I.  RAISE "HIM" UP

I Corinthians 2:1-8  And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.  For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.  And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.  And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:  Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

(See I Corinthians 15:1+, I Corinthians 1:2)


II.  RAISE "IT" UP!

Lay the foundation and then be concerned about the building the "IT."
I Corinthians 3:9,10  For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

We are rewarded with Christ's inheritance - the "IT."
Galatians 4:4-7  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.  Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Romans 8:16,17   The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.


Paul seeks to help in our walk... - the "IT."

...us to be blameless... I Cor 1:4-8 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;  That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;  Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:  So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:  Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
...to impart to us spiritual gifts... Romans 1:11  For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
...preach the gospel... Romans 1:15   So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
...prays for specific blessings and growth... Ephesians 1:16-19; 3:16-19
...for us to find God's will in our life...
Romans 12:1-2   I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 5:14-17   Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Col 4:12  Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

(I Corinthians 6:19,20...  We belong to Him - our "will" will burn,
but His "will" won't! - I Cor 3:11+)
