Riches
of the Full Assurance of Understanding
A
series on the riches of rightly dividing the word of truth
to
the point of having an assurance of understanding the Scriptures...
...thus
a close & personal relationship with Christ Himself!
That their hearts might be comforted, being
knit together in love,
and unto all riches of the full assurance
of understanding,
to the acknowledgment of the mystery of
God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Colossians 2:2
Tonight: My personal testimony as a Pastor

An outline of my thoughts lately
concerning what I am seeing as this understanding grows...
It's about Christ being our life!
Colossians 3:3
It is NOT about:
-
church
-
music
-
more bibles
-
religion
-
doctrines
-
Greek/Hebrew
-
a Pastor
-
our personal walk
-
education
Its' about His word prevailing as our personal
relationship with Him grows closer and closer with and by His words!
Acts 19:20
It's about knowing Christ personally all
the time!
Hearing people 'understand' the wrong because
of their understanding of the Scriptures.
I Timothy 1:20 / Watchtower testimony
There is a Bible Revival taking
place in some of the lives in our church and website family
- but not everyone - yet.
As a pastor
preaching Paul's Gospel...
I am seeing:
-
The Book starting to open up in the lives of people
in ways never seen before for them! I
Thessalonians 2:12; II & III John 4
-
This is great stuff to understand!
I Corinthians 2:9-16
-
I am getting a greater understanding of seeing the
world become more and more distant to me. Philippians
3:7,8
-
I see more and more what "The Scriptures Say..."
means! Luke 4:4
-
I see more how folks could have died for that Book!
Revelation 2:8+
This greater understanding has helped me...
-
...appreciate being so clean - washed in His blood
- imputation - dead to the law - no sin, etc.!
-
...shew myself approved unto God in my walk!
-
...keep from being beguiled as much as before!
-
...with proper comfort from the Scriptures!
-
...see the truth concerning real issues such as music,
children, teens, boys & girls different from each other, education,
home, church, bibles, pastors & their preachings, news and world events!
-
...understand discipline in the home!
-
...confidence in knowing 'why' for myself and be
able to answer 'why' for others!
-
...confidence in preaching & counseling!
-
...in my understanding of the judgment seat!
A comfort that most Christians
still don't know!
That their hearts might be comforted,
being knit together in love, and unto all
riches of the full assurance of understanding,
to the acknowledgment of the mystery of
God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
And a true peace from the God of
peace!
Philippians 4:6-9
