What True Light
Exposes in OUR Own Lives?
|
Spiritual blindness for lost AND saved!
-
The Devil blinds the minds of the lost!
-
He has his own ministers of righteousness
-
They all work together to keep the lost blinded - they can't see the light!
-
Christians can be blind as well!
-
Ephesians 4:17-24
-
They can ignore the KJB!
-
Live like a lost person!
-
In the vanity of their mind!
-
blindness of their heart because they are ignorant of the Scriptures
-
alienated from the life of the living God -by rejecting Paul's teachings
-
they have given up - they are past feeling - they don't care!
-
they are given over to lasciviousness - a life of feeding and pleasing
the flesh
-
they live a dirty worldly life of greed and loving money and trusting in
uncertain riches!
Paul wants us to turn from darkness to light!
The light of a rightly divided 'perfect' King James Bible Risen Saviour
following through Paul TRUTH!
-
Ephesians 5:6-16
-
II Timothy 1:8-11
-
Ephesians 1:3-6
-
Ephesians 1:18
What does that truth expose in
our own lives, thus the struggle we all still have?
The 'things' listed below are some of the things that are exposed by the
light of the KJB rightly divided, etc. in our own personal lives
/ flesh because of our deceived past. Yet, when Paul's teachings
come along, as much as we enjoy what Paul teaches, the light exposes these
things & we fight them tooth and nail!
There are some things we just don't want to let go! Here a few
of them...
I. Religion!
-
False worship
-
Weak & wrong giving
-
I Corinthians 16:1-4
-
II Corinthians 9:7,8
-
Romans 12:8
-
Improper fear of God
-
Sure, the terror of the Lord - II Corinthians
5:11
-
But also the goodness of God
-
Romans 2:4
-
No chastisement
-
No death / sick, etc.
-
Wrong purpose and design of 'church'
-
Universal
-
Local
-
God not in the building anymore - no more 'temple' of a building
-
I Corinthians 6:19,20
-
I Corinthians 3:16
-
Home church is ok - but most dad's have no clue on what or how to do.
-
Acts 2 - for Great Commission
-
Ephesians 4:11-16 - Paul's purpose
of today's local church.
-
Ephesians 5 - the body of Christ is
NOT the local church!
-
Challenges our Salvation
-
assurance?
-
based on Scriptures or feelings?
-
another...?
-
another Jesus?
-
another Spirit?
-
another gospel?
-
imitate Jesus?
-
follow whom?
-
salvation verses to trust
-
Ephesians 1:13
-
Philippians 4:9
-
Romans 10:9,10
-
False gospel statements
-
Invite Christ into your heart?
-
Give your life to Christ?
-
Commit your life to God?
-
Prayer - repeat this prayer?
-
Shows us the Way of God More Perfectly!
-
Not the Old Testament in our life - Genesis
to Malachi
-
Not the Gospels in our life - Matthew
to John
-
Not the Great Commission today - Acts 1-8
-
Not the Tribulation today! - Hebrews
to Jude
-
Romans - Philemon - Acts 18:26
-
Clears up the confusion of 'sin' and 'sinning.'
-
Great Commission and Tribulation goal - stop sinning
by following Christ's teachings and His footsteps!
-
Christianity's image? stop sinning!
-
Tribulation will take the Spirit of God upon their
flesh in order to stop sinning! Acts 2
-
We have the Spirit of God IN us - by circumcision
of Christ. - Colossians 2:11-16
-
Flesh is still full of sin, but soul is clean! -
Romans
7
-
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness -
Romans
10:4
-
we have no more law to define a sin for a believer!
-
'sin' now is a bad work and will burn in the judgment
seat - I Corinthians 3
-
'sins' have been washed away and never to be imputed!
- Romans 4
-
lost still have the law to show them they need Christ!
- Galatians 3
-
confession of sin is not until Tribulation!
-
forgiveness is not salvation but salvation is forgiveness!
-
Shows us the true definition of covetousness and
idolatry
-
fornication, rebellion, concupiscence, etc. is not
just individual acts - it is putting something above God physically, mentally
and / or spiritually.
-
Colossians 3:5
-
I Samuel 15:23
-
it isn't just a 'Christian' list of sinful lustful
acts!
-
Corrects "set free" to "made free"
-
Scripture never says 'set free' even though just
about every Christians says they were 'set free.'
-
we are 'made free' - Romans
6:18,22
-
we are a new creature - made free - God's workmanship
- now we can please God
-
Romans 8:8; II Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:10
-
Jews will have to escape the pollutions of the world
during the Tribulation - that is being set free!
-
II Peter 2:20
-
Teaches about the strings attached to the Liberty
in Christ!
-
expedient / edify / not to cause someone to stumble
/ not to be used as occasion for the flesh / not to have a power over you!
-
I Corinthians 6:12; 12:23; Galatians 5:7-18; 24-26;
Romans 14:19-22
-
Brings out the dysfunctional marriages and lack of
Christian parenting skills!
-
Ephesians 6:4
-
Ephesians 5 versus
I
Peter 3
-
Puts the right people into the workplace!
-
Ephesians 6:5-9
-
I Timothy 6:1
-
I Timothy 2:12
-
I Timothy 5:13-15
-
Tells us to despise and destroy the magnificence
of :
-
Religion - II Timothy
3:1-9
-
Education - I Corinthians
1
-
Science - I Timothy
6:20
-
See Acts 19:24-27
-
Be sure to expect the same response as Paul did!
-
Admonishes us to:
-
learn from the past - Romans
15:4
-
live properly in the present - Philippians
13:13,14
-
to be rewarded in eternity future -
I Corinthians 3:10+
-
Shows us who our biggest enemy is!
Who wants this stuff exposed
in our lives?
No wonder there is the struggle,
eh?

notes from King James Bible Church of Touchet, WA
Pastor

The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
