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

Continuation of Heaven part V - no more death
Here is the good part -
So then they that are in the flesh cannot
please God.
Romans 8:8
We don't have to be 'superstitious' - we don't need to worship an unknown
God.
Read closely - Acts 17:22-30
So, if we 'die,' we can learn to please God!
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye
ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. I
Thessalonians 4:1
Death / Separation UNTO God
It is Paul's ministry to show us how to turn from the
power of Satan
unto the living God!
Acts 26:18-20
Turning "from the power of Satan unto God"
is one of the goals of Paul - and is mentioned in better
detail in:
-
II Timothy 2:26 - And
that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are
taken captive by him at his will.
-
Now, read verses
24,25 - And the servant of the Lord must
not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give
them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
Romans 1:1 - Paul,
a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the
gospel of God,
Of course we already walk with God - He is already in us!
-
II Corinthians 6:16 - we are the temple
of God!
-
I Timothy 4:10 - our trust is in the
living God!
-
I Timothy 6:17 - trust in the living
God!
Romans 6:10,11 - through Jesus Christ
Galatians 3:8,14
- justified through faith
-
Romans 3:25 -
...through faith...
-
Romans 3:30 -
...through faith...
-
Ephesians 2:8 -
...through faith...
-
II Timothy 3:15 -
...through faith...
We must die to live and then because we have died,
we should live!
II Corinthians 4:10,11 - Always
bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also
of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway
delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might
be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Live unto God!
Galatians 2:19 - we are to live
unto God!
For I through the law am dead to the law,
that I might live unto God.
Just like Paul said, turn from power of Satan unto God!
Sermon Audio note: I was intending to follow the notes below; however,
I went to Romans 12:2-8 and we read
through the gifts that Paul DOES preach to us today - and made mention
of the need within our local church family as well as our personal families
for these things to be done.
So, how do we live unto God, according to Paul?
-
Romans 6:13 - Yield your members unto
righteousness!
-
Romans 7:4 - Bring fruit unto God
-
Philippians 4:6; II Timothy 1:3 - prayer
without ceasing! night and day, Paul prayed!
-
Acts 16:25 - Sing praises unto God!
-
Ephesians 5:20 - Give thanks!
-
Philippians 4:20 - Give God the glory!
-
II Timothy 2:15,16 - Study rightly
divided word of truth - not to be ashamed!
-
Romans 7:25 - through Jesus Christ
-
I Thessalonians 1:9 - Follow Paul's
epistles
-
Acts 14:15; 26:18,20 - turn!
Do works meet for repentance!
We not only can, but we do walk with God - we have no choice!
-
However, we also must know that we can actually please Him in our walk!
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye
ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
I Thessalonians 4:1
