RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD – By Dennis Kiszonas

Scripture Reading: Romans 3:21,22

"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is manifested .... " To Paul was given the ministry of explaining the first time how a holy God could count ungodly sinners righteous in His sight. Our passage (Romans 3:21-22) tells us how to become right with God, and it is not something that we do. It is not a righteousness of man or from man, but the righteousness of God. It is from Him. "It is God who justifies" (Romans 8:33). He is "the God who justifies the ungodly" (Romans 4:5), and we thank Him for it because we could have justified ourselves before a holy God and righteous Judge; but now, we don't have to!

How does God declare the ungodly to be "justified"? Paul tells us it is "apart from the law." It has nothing to do with keeping the law, or the Ten Commandments, following our conscience, or "trying our best" but by the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus Christ who willingly took the blame for our sins and paid their penalty in full on the cross; so that today, all who simply believe in Him are "justified by faith" (Romans 5:1).

Forgiveness is wonderful. We read and rejoice that in Christ we have been forgiven for all our sins (Colossians 2:13), but righteousness is (it almost seems impossible ... ) even better! The "righteousness of God" means being counted by grace as having done all that God demanded, required and expected of us; so that He, not only has nothing against us, but is in every way for us and able to extravagantly bless us.

TAKEN AWAY - By Win Johnson

Scripture Reading: Matthew 24:37-42

In Matthew 24:37-42, we are told that conditions on the earth prior to the Lord's coming will be similar to those inNoah's day. The record in Genesis 6:5-7 states that "the thoughts of men's hearts were only evil continually" and "God repented that He had made man." An honest appraisal of present day morals must conclude that we are fast heading in the same direction.

To the Lord's people, however, it is a comforting thought that when evil has reached it's zenith, God always calls a halt. It was so in Noah's day. While the multitude of people were "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage," completely indifferent to their eternal welfare, suddenly the flood came and "took them all away." Only Noah and his family were spared because they had entered the ark. Those who were "taken" died in the flood.

"So shall the coming of the Son of Man be" said the Lord Jesus Christ." Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken and the other left."Taken where? Not to Heaven, as is sometimes taught, but into udgment. The one who is left will go into the millennial kingdom which Christ will have come to establish.

To God's people in this age, the Apostle Paul, by revelation, tells of a secret coming of Christ (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:51, 52). Then, instead of being "taken away," members of the Body of Christ will be "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air and "so shall we ever be with the Lord." How wonderful to haw this blessed hope of being "caught up" and not "taken away"! It can be yours in Christ.

GOD IS FOR US - By John N. Baker

  GOD IS FOR US 

By John N. Baker

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 1

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."(verse 3) Our hearts rejoice as we meditate on what the Triune God has done for us. 

God the Father ... a) Has chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world, and He chose us for a purpose: to be holy and without blame before Him (v. 4). b) Has adopted us. God has given us an "adult" standing in the household of God. We not only have full privileges, but full responsibility too(v. 5). c) Has accepted us. He has engraced us (literal translation) in the Beloved One. Because of God's grace in Christ, we are accepted before Him (v. 6).

  God the Son ... a) Has redeemed us. The believer is redeemed from the penalty of sin (justification), from the power of sin (sanctification), and one day, at the Rapture, from the very presence of sin (glorification) (v. 7). b) Has forgiven us. The word forgive means "to carry away." No accusations stand against us because our sins have been taken away (v. 7). c) Has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence making known the mystery of His will, giving us an inheritance in the dispensation of the fulness of times when He shall gather together in one all things in Christ (vs. 8-11). God the Holy Spirit... a) Has sealed us. "After. .. [hearing] the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation ... [ when] ye believed, ye were sealed with [the] Spirit" (v. 13). This speaks of a finished transaction and implies ownership (I Cor. 6:19, 20), guarantees security (John 14:16-17), and attests to the genuineness of the believer (Rom. 8:9). b) Has given us Himself as an earnest. This down payment guarantees more to come. We are assured that God will finish His work in us and eventually bring us to Glory. Why has God the Father chosen us, adopted us, and accepted us? "To the praise of the glory of His grace" (v. 6). 

 

Why has God the Son redeemed us, forgiven us, revealed His will to us? "That we should be to the praise of His glory" (v. 12). Why has God the Spirit sealed us and is Himself the guarantee of our future glory? "Unto the praise of His glory" (v. 14). He has blessed us that He might be glorified!

LIVE FOR CHRIST - By Marvin Duncan

  LIVE FOR CHRIST - 

By Marvin Duncan 

Scripture Reading: Romans 12:1

Romans 12:1 presents a challenge that most Christians have never fully appreciated. In this Scripture, Paul begs the members of the Body of Christ to present their bodies a "LIVING SACRIFICE." How can this be when all the sacrifices in the Old Testament were to be put to death; then placed upon the altar? Here, Paul asks for living sacrifices. What is Paul asking the saint to do? It seems clear to me that Paul is not asking anyone to DIE FOR CHRIST; he is asking us TO LIVE FOR CHRIST. The admonition in this passage is to die to self and to personal ambitions and to give ourselves to God to live our lives for His glory, doing His will here on the earth. If we stop to think, our hands are the only physical hands Christ has to do His work here on earth. Our mouths are the only physical mouths Christ has to speak His truth here on earth. We are to allow Christ to live His life in and through us.

Another aspect of this verse that we cannot deny is that God will never ask anything of His saints that is not "REASONABLE." It is most "REASONABLE" that if Christ died for us, we should be willing to live for Him.

Christ died for us, but He never asks any of His saints to die for Him. He only asks us to LIVE FOR CHRIST. 


SO GREAT SALVATION!{Click}

TRUTH UNDER FIRE – By Robert E. Hanna

Scripture Reading: Romans 16:17

As faithful saints of God and members of the church which is the Body of Christ, of which He is the head, we are inerrantly responsible to preserve, defend and disseminate the unadulterated Word of Truth. Paul, our apostle, has issued firm warning against our being deterred from our spiritual responsibility. He has clearly revealed to us the ministry of reconciliation which we are to preach and teach. Paul is fully aware of the detractors and false teachers who are ever at hand to try our faith by spreading lies and false doctrines. "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived" (II Timothy 3:13).

The importance of discerning and expounding the "rightly divided Word of truth" is repeatedly stressed throughout the epistles of the apostle Paul. Referring to his exclusive message as revealed to him by the risen Lord, Paul writes to the Galatian church these very profound words of warning: "There be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:7b, 8). And when instructing young pastor Timothy, the apostle wrote, "The hings that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also" (II Timothy 2:2). Further along in the same letter we read: "Thou hast fully known my doctrine .... Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them" (II Timothy 3:lO - 14)· 

"Mark them which cause divisions ... and avoid them!"

WHY IS GOD GENTLE WITH US? - By John McKay

   WHY IS GOD GENTLE WITH US? 

 By John McKay

Scripture Reading: II Corinthians 10:1

"Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ ... " Why doesn't the Apostle command them? Why doesn't he exercise his authority over them? Why doesn't Paul threaten them according to the "righteous judgment of God" who will take vengeance with flaming fire? It may seem strange to us to see the method that our Lord Jesus and His servant Paul use when dealing with normal sinners. Of course, there are severe warnings and judgments against false teachers and hardened, deliberate sinners. But normal, weak sinners are shown amazing grace and kindness from all of the Lord's true representatives! "The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men ... in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth ... " (II Timothy 2:24-26). Here we have the key! The Lord wants us to speak the TRUTH in LOVE! This means we give people the truth of God with the right attitude. Both are necessary to do the work of God and obtain a reward for acceptable service.

If you can only keep one element of this formula, by all means keep the TRUTH. It-the TRUTH-will bless and edify others even though you will lose your reward. It will be far better for you if you do not offend people by having a bad attitude! Let us think about the pattern which the Lord and His Apostles used and commanded followers to use. As Paul puts it, "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you" (Philippians 4:9). Gentleness and meek- ness with others will accomplish much more than you think! Try it today!

ESTEEMED AMBASSADORSHIP - By Harland L. Shriver

Scripture Reading: II Corinthians 5:20

Our sacred obligation is to be ambassadors for Christ. It is a pleasure to represent our blessed Lord Jesus Christ! The original words begin in this manner: "IN BEHALF OF CHRIST ... " Think of it! Phil. 1:29 allows us to see this great truth. Is it not Paul who testifies, -" .. .1 am what I am by the

grace of God"? He certainly acted in Christ's behalf.

Each born-again believer is God's ambassador, whether he knows it or not. It is immediate, as soon as our relationship with Christ begins. If we fail to obey Paul's beseeching in Romans 12:1, we will not know the will of God in Romans 12:2.

Then, as time moves on, how we wear the yoke of ambassadorship is important. Paul had trouble with this. He nearly despaired on one occasion CnCorinthians 1:8). Andrew Murray of South Africa spoke of this by saying, "We need to adapt to the yoke, instead of rebelling against it." It will wear well if we do so. If we do not, it chafes and irritates.

Imagine an ambassador who doesn't know the will of the one who sent him. Do you represent Christ's will in this strange land?
