What is Grace

Classic Christianity Radio – The Mystery of God Part 2 (2-12-19)

Bob George provides insights on the subject of the mystery of God from God’s word. It pleased God to make known to you and me the mystery of His will. The Greek word for mystery is Mysterion. This is not like a Perry Mason novel. It is a hidden truth chosen at a time to be revealed to you. It is a revealing at a proper time. At the proper time, God chose to reveal truth to us, the born again.

Bob reminds the listener, those who are born again, of our great salvation, of the mercy and grace we received from God when we heard the truth of the gospel and believed. We received mercy when our sins were not counted against us because Jesus paid the punishment of death for sin that we deserved. Jesus died for the sins of the entire world when he shed his blood on the cross 2000 years ago. In Him, we received the forgiveness of sins.

Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

We also received grace, the Spirit of the living God, His holiness and godliness, when we believed and accepted by faith Jesus resurrected life.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Walk By Faith

Classic Christianity Radio – The Mystery of God Part 1 (2-11-19)

Bob George provides insights on the subject of the mystery of God from God’s word. When many people think of the word mystery, they think of a mystery novel or maybe a detective show on television. In a detective mystery, a detective solves a murder from various clues gathered from interviewing suspects or witnesses and investigations surrounding a crime scene. When one thinks of a mystery in the scriptures, look back in the time period of the Jews and the Gentiles in the Old Testament before the cross. What information was known then? What could be known through the prophets and that which was written down through the Jewish scribes? Even though Moses wrote about Christ, many did not fully understand. How could they? There were clues alright but their meaning was hidden. Not until Jesus Christ came and explained what He came to do and then finished the work He said He came to do was this mystery understood. But not until the Holy Spirit came to dwell in men, where truth was made known in the hearts of men, was this mystery made known. Paul, appointed by God to be an apostle to the Gentile, explains what this mystery is, a mystery that was once hidden for ages, but has now been revealed to the Lord’s people.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Maturity is Getting to Know Jesus

Original date: 10-19-97 – Classic Christianity Part 3 (2-6-19)

Bob George discusses insights from God’s word. In part two, Bob addressed where true godly enthusiasm comes from, from God in contrast to worldly knowledge or fleshly zeal and the proud heart. He discusses the church, the people of God, who have been strengthened from God to do the work of the ministry, so in all things God will be praised. So God gives people as gifts to the church so that all will grow in maturity in Christ, to the unity in the faith, to the knowledge of the Son of God, and to the full measure of Christ, to know Him, to grasp how great is His love for you. Through God at work within the church, abiding in Christ, the fruit of the Spirit is made manifest. Bob continues teaching from Ephesians concerning the immature church, being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine and deceitful scheming of men. Bob shares about the proper operation of spiritual gifts in the church for building the church up to maturity in Christ. Bob provides examples of such teaching and scheming in today’s church while emphasizing the importance of the church in helping them grow to maturity in Christ.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Bear With Each Other in Love

Original date: 10-19-97 – Classic Christianity Part 2 (2-5-19)

Bob George discusses insights from God’s word. In part one, Bob addressed the laws of love; to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. Bob explained man’s inability to love, requiring the need to be born again, to be placed into the body of Christ, the true Church, the Ecclesia. In part two of this three part series, Bob addresses the functioning of the church as the people of God, where this love of Christ is to be worked out, so the people of God can grow in maturity to know the fullness of God. Bob explains that the true church is the Ecclesia, the “called out ones”. He explains that the spiritual gifts are people whom God sent to build up the body of Christ, the church. He explains the role of teachers, prophets and apostles in that proper context. In every case, people are to be dependent on the Holy Spirit in them, as a branch on a vine, to do the work of ministry that God has prepared for them to do. Bob referenced the fruit of the Spirit and that such fruit cannot be produced in the flesh, but only in the strength that God provides.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus Fulfilled The Law And The Prophets

Original date: 10-19-97 – Classic Christianity Part 1 (2-4-19)

Bob George discusses insights on the subject of the law from God’s word. In part one of this three part series, Bob addresses the law of love. Bob explains how Jesus fulfilled all of the entire Old Testament, including the 10 commandments but also all the of the Law, the Pentateuch with all its ceremonial laws also, and the prophets and the psalms. Jesus is God in the flesh and God is love and love is the fulfillment of the law. God poured out His love into our hearts when we were born again, a new spiritual birth where the Holy Spirit was placed in us. So, we are not under the law (singular), as described in the Old Covenant with the Jews, but we are under grace, under new laws of love with only two commands, to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself, and neither of these are listed in the 10 commandments. Bob explains further from the book of Hebrews this contrast between the Law (singular) of the Old Covenant to laws (plural) of the New Covenant. Bob checked the uses of these words and they are indeed not an error in translation.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

Classic Christianity – Encourage By Grace P3 (01-30-19)

Bob George shares from the Word of God to encourage believers by a message of grace. Bob reviews again the things discussed in part two, the humility in Christ Jesus, who being God in the flesh, who in the Spirit who created all there is, yet became obedient to death on a cross for you and me. That attitude of Christ, his humility, is in us as children of God, by the Holy Spirit he has given us. So then, we are to work out what has been worked in us so the fruit of the Spirit is seen as we live in this depraved and wicked world. So we should be known as those who do not argue and complain but rather by those who serve one another in love. So our minds must be renewed so as to realize all that God has freely given. We live in error because we have thinking like that of the world that needs to be transformed into the attitude of Christ.

Starting around minute 14 in the audio, Bob shares part three of this three part series titled “Encourage by Grace”. Bob shares the about the attitude of the mind.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
