Paul's Manner of Life
as told to him by the
Risen Saviour
|
It isn't just only 'what' we
do that is important as a sincere Christian; it is also 'how' we
do what we do as sincere Christians. Knowing that the risen Saviour
tells us to follow Paul as our wise masterbuilder and that we should take
heed in how we buildeth thereupon, then let us look to Paul's manner of
life as our material from which we should build thereupon. Let's
not try to 'imitate' Paul's life, as the modern bibles say, but let's look
to the scriptures to see 'how' and 'what' we are to do concerning Paul's
manner of life.
Help to Do Your Own Study?
This is a written bible study that
is taken from 24 sermons that are available on-line starting with June
5, 2011. Each sermon has written notes that would give you the scriptures
for the following list, but I suggest you do your own search for these
points. Print this page and then in the space next each point, list
the Scripture references as you find them. If you want/need help
in finding the Scriptures, click on this link - June,
2011, starting with June 5. The links to the complete series
of sermons and detailed studies are available on that page.
PS.
According to Romans
2:16 and including all the Scriptures listed below in this study,
you will see that this is the 'stuff' that you will need to have known
to prepare you for your judgment seat 'final exam.' Hopefully,
we are all learning to incorporate Paul's manner into our own life as well
as your own family's if you are a parent!
In the
day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to
my gospel.
Romans
2:16
For they
themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you,
and
how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
I Thessalonians
1:9
Enjoy this study guide to your own
daily life! There is nothing more enjoyable than a personal Bible
study!
Check it our for yourself!
But thou
hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life...
II Timothy 3:10 -
Our
"Manner of Life Guide"...
...as we learn to follow
the Risen Saviour through Paul...
...especially concerning
OTHERS:
Notice in these studies that as they
are written for your own application; they can also certainly help you
as you try to help others. Often, we go after our friends with too
much - sometimes not enough - sometimes too softly and probably, at times,
more than we should, we approach them too hard!
It doesn't matter to them that you
care; they usually seem to reject your care and concern. Why? It
is that they probably don't even have the true Holy Spirit IN them?
As a result, their own spirit rejects these spiritual helps.
Remember this: as the verse states
in I Thessalonians 1:9, hopefully they
will 'SEE IN YOU' - 'BEFORE' you start preaching to them, how
ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.
If you haven't been doping very well in that public testimony, (in the
manner that the Risen Saviour through Paul shows us), then I wouldn't expect
much from them, either, other than their own criticism towards you.
Remember - they don't know 'all things are lawful' to you because you believe!
All too often people see us doing things that a 'christian' shouldn't be
doing (things that are based on their gospel beatitudinal teachings).
And we also know that when you try
to leave a godly life, according to Paul's teachings, you will suffer persecution.
II Tiimothy 3:12 - Yea,
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
So here
ya go... think about yourself first, then think of some folks that you
really care about
as you
read through this 'manner of life' as prescribed by Paul.

The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and we learn to apply the 'TO!"
These
writings of Paul are directly from the Risen Saviour to Paul...
...and
then to us through the King James Bible by the Holy Ghost!
