What's
In the Gospels "FOR" Us?
Part XI
|
Now all these things
happened unto them for ensamples:
and they are written for
our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
I Corinthians 10:11
For
whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,
that
we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans
15:4
Remember, the Gospels are still in the Old Testament
doctrinally!
Hebrews 9:16,17
Gospels are not TO us!
However, there is plenty within the Gospels FOR us!

the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week
let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that
there be no gatherings when I come. And when I come, whomsoever ye shall
approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto
Jerusalem.

living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou,
Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it.
