LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS

LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS
If society is doomed to degeneration what should believers do as they live in the "last days"? 2Tim 3:1Paul offered advice in several of his letters:Reference Application Romans 13:11-14.Keep close to the Lord. 2 Cor 11:13-15 Avoid masquerading as servants of God. Ephesians 5:11.Have nothing to do with evildoers and their wicked deeds; instead, exposethem. Believers need not allow evil tocontinue unchecked, but should actively work against it. Ephesians 5:18. Redeem time. Col 4:2,5. Believers are to pray, be watchful, bethankful, and be wise in the way they act toward unbelievers, making the most of every opportunityto share the gospel. 2 Thess 3:6-15 Church members who are lazy and idle must be warned.Christians should not be sitting around waiting for the Lordto return, but should continue working in the ministry.WHO IS CHRIST?Colossians 1:15-20 lists seven characteristics of Christ:1. The visible image of the invisible God. Col 1:15.2. Existed before God made anything. Col 1:15.3. He is the one through whom God created everything. Col 1:16.4. He is the head of the body, the Church. Col 1:18.5. He is the first of all who will rise from the dead. Col 1:18.6. All God’s fullness lives in him. Col 1:19.7. Through Christ, God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things. Col 1:20.Because of whom Christ is:* We ought to worship him with praise and thanks.* We ought to learn about him for he is God.* We ought to obey him for he is the ultimate authority.* We ought to love him for what he has done for us

WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE?

Mark 15:39 The Problem: We have all done things that are wrong, and we have failed to obey God’s laws. Because of this, we have been separated from God our Creator. Separation from God is death; but, by ourselves, we can do nothing to become united with God. Why Jesus Could Help: Jesus was not just a man; he was God’s unique Son. Because Jesus never disobeyed God and never sinned, Only he can bridge the gap between the sinless God and sinful mankind. The Solution: Jesus freely offered his life for us, dying on the cross in our place, taking all our wrongdoing upon him, and saving us from the consequences of sin including God’s judgment and death. The Results: Jesus took our past, present, and future sins upon himself so that we could have new life. Because all our wrongdoing is forgiven, we are conceding to God. Furthermore, Jesus’ resurrection fromthe dead is the proof that his substitutions sacrifice on the cross was acceptable to God, and his resurrection has become the source of new life for whoever believes that Jesus is the Son of God. All who believe in him may have this new life and live it in union with him.

CHRISTIAN SUFFERING

CHRISTIAN SUFFERING
Dear readers, I want you to count suffering as part of the Christian race. I pray you will gain a lot as we discuss this topic. Several times, Christians have terrible and fearful trials. Some are affected bodily, others mentally, some financially and others direct or indirect attacks of Satan. Many are calling out to God, “why?” “Why do I have to suffer like this?” phil. 1:29 “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake.” This is a plain fact. You and I have a double Opportunity- to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and to suffer for His sake.We surely want to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. We want Salvation, forgiveness, heaven, love, the Lord Jesus. With this comes the privilege to suffer. Phil. 3: 10 “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings...” This was the prayer of Apostle Paul. And he seriously suffered for the sake of Christ.Jesus suffered. In Bethlehem, He was misunderstood, cursed, blasphemed. In Gethsemane was the bitter trial. He was smitten, lashed, crucified, e.t.c. Our sufferings are very high in comparison. 11Cor. 4: 17 “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding....” To some, life is meaningless, for it consists only of turmoil, trouble, pain and tears.To the true Christian, life has a plan, for God has a purpose for each life.” And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose”. Rom. 8: 28.

How does suffering come? Through our mistakes and sin. Gal. 6: 7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”. The man who has committed murder can be forgiven by God, but he must still suffer prison for his crime. The man that ruins his body with liquor must still reap the effects of a body that has been weakened or wrecked by sin. We accept even these as from Him and search our hearts fully to repent and seek grace not to repeat these terrible things.Through mistakes and sins of others. “Why did God allow him to say that terrible thing? No trial or affliction can reach you without His permission.

Through temptations: 1 Cor. 10: 13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”. God knows your “load limit” - the amount that you can endure.

Through God’s providential dealings - These can be most incomprehensible to the troubled soul and in desperation he calls out, “Why, why?” God does not promise to give us the reason for His actions. He is sovereign. Even in deepest afflictions, rest assured that He is the loving heavenly father. John the Baptist was mightily used, but was later imprisoned. Jesus was nearby, but no visit or answer to his query. Jesus says “Trust Me in prison. John”.Why do sufferings come? Sufferings may come as a result of sin. John 5: 14. “Afterward, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith unto him. Behold, thou art made whole; Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee”. The man discussed here had been sick for 38years. The statement made by Jesus Christ would mean that he was sick because of his sin. Other references Num. 12: 10; 11Chr. 16:12. Sufferings may come in order to make the works of God manifest, John 9:2, 3.
The disciples asked; Who sinned, this man or his parents that he has been born blind? Jesus gave this answer, neither one, for this happened that Jesus could heal him. The Lord may make someone sick to get more fellowship with him.Suffering may come just for the glory of God, John 11: 4. Lazarus was raised from dead and many believed. Surely, God has derived a great deal of glory from the story of Lazarus all through the ages.It may be work of enemies-- with God permissive will. This was the experience of Job. The outcast of Gadarah was mentally sick because of the indwelling demons, Mark 5: 1-5. A woman was bound by Satan for 18years in Lk. 13: 16. Acts. 10: 38 speaks of those that are oppressed of the devil. Suffering may be inform of chastisement - Heb. 12: 5-13. The parent cannot let the child have its own way always. Neither can God with us. God is trying to teach us to make wise decisions. The goal of chastisement is a child who makes good decisions even when far away from parent authority. Finally, suffering is often a part His plan to train us. count it Joy when you are suffering because it is but for a moment

HOW CAN GOD ACCEPT US?

Rom 2:1The Problem:We resist God.We ignore God.We attempt to deceive God.We work against God’s interests.We acknowledge God only when we are in trouble. We consider our plans and desires before God’s. We do not love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. How can we even hope to have an intimate relationship with God, or to go to heaven after this life?False solutions:Deny there is a God, but create our own god out of something or someone else.Live in guilty, punishing ourselves or masking the guilty behind alcohol and drugs. Use religion (works, church attendance, service)as a substitute for faith, loving God, and obeying him. Assume or vaguely hope God will save us anyway. Conclude God is too demanding and live in despair. True Solutions: Recognize the answer to our problem is faith and trust in Christ. Accept God’s gracious gift of forgiveness, believing in his love. Realize that God is willing to declare us not guilty, and that he alone can do it. Live in the freedom provided by God, enjoying the opportunity to express our thanks by obedience rather than trying to earn his acceptance. Humbly accept the fact that Christ’s substitution for us accomplished what we could not have done for ourselves.
