In order for us to bring out the law, we have to push aside grace. Not only will this never bring about true holiness, but the result of doing this is death 2 Cor.
But one day, he read about the benefits of detoxing with juice, and out of fear , he decided to take his health into his own hands by drinking carrot juice daily and trying to eat a healthier diet. Those things are good for you, but the question is this: Where does your trust really lie? Always put your trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Even the healthiest organic foods come from the ground, which has been cursed.
We cannot put our trust in creation which has fallen. We must put our trust in redemption, in the cross of Jesus Christ, where He bore our sins and our diseases! Once again, Pastor Prince is not discouraging us from eating organic food, taking medicine, or going to the doctor. But even as we are doing those things, let's put our trust in the Lord e. As you look to the Lord to prosper your health, you can pray that all the tests reflect His glory!
If the Lord leads you to take a health supplement or to see a doctor, an osteopath, or a chiropractor, by all means, go ahead! But ultimately, put your trust in the Lord so that the glory for your healing and health does not go to man but to the Lord! Have you noticed that people whom you favor a lot are usually people who don't worry about what you think about them? One of the areas in which we can fall from grace is the area of favor with people.
This often happens when you are trying to please or earn favor with someone. Seeking to always please people and bending over backward to do so usually causes you to lose their respect and favor. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. The apostle Paul is saying that if he sought to please people in the context of preaching about grace, he would not be a bondservant of Christ. If Paul wanted to please people, he would preach about the law.
This is because human nature loves the preaching of law and grace combined as the law gives man a part to play and some glory to claim.
On the other hand, grace makes nothing of man and everything of God! This truly gives God all of the glory. Pastor Prince gives some parenting advice, urging parents not to always seek to please their children as they will ultimately lose favor with their children. The result was that Adonijah died, just like the rebellious sons of Eli, whom Eli had never rebuked 1 Sam — Pastor Prince reminds parents that we correct our children because we want them to be the best that God has ordained them to be, not because we are concerned with whether they like or favor us.
One of the ways to correct our children without using the Ten Commandments is to teach them about their identity in Christ. The Bible also says that fathers have the responsibility to bring children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Eph.
A good doctor seeks to cure his patients, not to please them. Likewise, good parents seek to raise their children well, not to please them. We want to have the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness so that we will reign in life Rom. Pastor Prince encourages husbands to love their wives, but this does not mean to try to please them in every matter and pander to their every whim and fancy.
This will only cause a wife to lose respect for her husband. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Jews and Gentiles in the area of Galatia were hearing about salvation through Jesus and were believing. Then some jacked up, Pharisaic teachers came insisting that to be assured they were saved, they must also live by the Old Covenant laws. Some believed in the facts about Jesus as their Savior but were never saved. Yet, they went after the law as an additive. Every believer should be baptized and baptism is an indication that you are a believer.
But she being and watching this, one of these videos, those guys said, you have to baptize. She had not been baptized yet. So she I guess hurried up and got baptized.
And that person said, well, those people are trusting in their baptism to save them. And so those are the people who fall from grace and are severed from Christ. Well, that would be of course, very wrong thinking according to many other scriptures, right? So baptism is not what guarantees salvation. Baptism is an indication that you do believe in Jesus and therefore you are saved. All right. So anyways, I of course wrote to her. And I would say that same thing to anybody.
Look here in the Bible, the Old Testament, it says, you got to be circumcised. If you die, you go to hell. And so you need to be circumcised. Because now you no longer have faith in Jesus. You have faith in your circumcision. Saved people do have fruit, but that fruit is not what saves them. Thank you so much for joining me. Until next time, God bless you. On our last little lesson, we began trying to address a question of one of our beloved viewers, and that is, a person who is afraid that they have.
And what happened to the Galatians, according to the apostle Paul, had happened to them. Paul wrote in Galatians five and verse number four, you have been severed from Christ. And she became very concerned about that and then got baptized. We are saved. Those of us who are saved. Then by no means will you lack these things when you trust in God because they are all good things. These required them to work hard to keep the entire Law in order to escape death. As Believers in Christ, we are no longer under the Law but under grace.
I will go a little deeper next week. Every victory in your life this week and the next will be wrought by grace. Father, thank You for Your faithfulness. But You are good to me because You are so good. Help me to depend and trust in You more than anything or anyone else. I acknowledge the finished works of Jesus, and I know that every good thing in my life is obtained through Him. And for that I say thank You!
