Sermon Series on Putting Paul's Gospel Into Our Own Family Life (based on chart tract) |
First comes crucifying our flesh
/ world...
Galatians 5:24 - And
they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and
lusts.
Galatians 6:14 -
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
...then we can rise & live our
family life with Him as designed by Him which was then presented to and
patterned for us by Paul.
I Timothy 1:16 - Howbeit
for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew
forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe
on him to life everlasting.
Colossians 3:1 - f
ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Part II A Clean Conscience |
At least a clean conscience with God, anyway.
True deep joy comes
from having a clean conscience! and only Christ can give us that clean
conscience!
I Timothy 3:9
- Holding the mystery of the faith in a
pure conscience.
I Timothy 1:19,20
-
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies
which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning
faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom
I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Unmerited favor?
Is GRACE really just unmerited favor?
Does God really 'choose' His grace level for us today? If so,
based on what?
Do you honestly think God that has not taken you to the wood shed because you have been so good - been 'scripturally' baptised, etc.
If you think so, then listen up, friend; dad; momma; kids; pastors,
etc.! You couldn't be more wrong!
Any 'difference' in: Jesus Gospel and Paul's Gospel
Is it all just I Corintihians 15:1-8?
Paul preached a grace setup far more perfectly presented.
Christ walked the walk to take care of the LAW!
No law = no sin imputed - GRACE!
We have HIS GRACE because of what HE DID, not because
of what we do!
Grace is not unmerited favour
He really has no choice now - He already made the choice in
the garden. He didn't want to, but He did the will of His Father!
Luke 22:42 - Saying,
Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my
will, but thine, be done.
II Timothy 2:13 -
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
He humbled HIMSELF so He could take care of sin by taking care
of the law!
Philippians 2:8 -
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient
unto death, even the death of the cross.
Romans 8:3 - For
what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin
in the flesh:
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness...
Romans 10:3,4 - For
they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish
their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness
of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every
one that believeth.
Galatians 3:23-26 -
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith
which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster
to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But
after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
No law = God's grace - and mercy, too!
Romans 8:2 -
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
Rom:4:8: Blessed
is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Romans 5:13 -
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there
is no law.
II Corinthians 5:17 -
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Grace is THROUGH Christ, not ourselves!

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God:
Romans 3:24

Christ Jesus:
Romans 5:1,2
-Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:15 -
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence
of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Romans 5:17 -
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign
in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

which is in Christ Jesus.

according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 1:6 - To
the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted
in the beloved.
Galatians 2:16 -
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the
faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might
be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for
by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
