Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P42 (07-22-20)

Synopsis

As you have gone through this definition of love, and asked yourself, “How well am I doing?” I think you will think you will come to the same conclusion I did. I cannot put myself anywhere in that list. That love can only be a definition of God. I must conclude that “I cannot, but God can”. So I turn my focus back on Christ Jesus, and have to rely on Him. I say, “I am weak, but He is strong.” I have to say, “Christ is my life. He is my only hope of glory.”

As I ponder over this, I must ask the Lord to work His way in me, that this love, that is a fruit of the Spirit, is produced in me and through me. Do I keep a record of how someone wronged me, pondering over a painful memory and not letting it go, or bringing it back in my mind, so I am hindered in giving out unconditional love to someone else? Am I hard on myself because I failed to act in love? Has God changed His attitude and … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P41 (07-21-20)

Synopsis

We just really do not know what love is, this love of God. We think the opposite of love is hate, but the opposite of love is pride. Pride is what caused the fall of man in the garden of Eden, and what we are naturally born with. Pride seeks to go its own way, is not teachable, and is in essence, self seeking. This sin nature is what you see in a child that will holler and scream until he gets his own way. That has to be trained out of a child.

And, then people in the Christian world tend to think of love as what you do on Sunday morning, when you smile real big and greet someone in the pew next to you, but then promptly forget his name or anything he said, or what you boast about when you tithe, have your quiet time, read your bible, or pray all the time. That is not love. Love is what you do, that you should do every day and every moment of the day, when you rely on Christ to do that … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P40 (07-20-20)

Synopsis

In this subject of Agape love, that is love that can only come from God and what God produces in us and through us as we rely on HIm, as we rest in Him like a branch on a vine. Our natural self, that sin-indwelling flesh, that Agape does not come out of us unless we are depending on Him, walking in the Spirit and not in accordance with the flesh. Of course, we have been in the flesh, our mind being so long in this worldly thinking, that we had since we were born with this sin-indwelling flesh. So there is the renewal of the mind that has to occur, and will continue to occur until the day we die. So we learn how to have our minds renewed and we put no confidence in the flesh.

So what happens when we put confidence in the flesh? We live in bondage to sin and death, even if, or though, you are not under that any more, when we do not have to. If error is what binds you, truth is what sets you free.

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P39 (07-15-20)

Synopsis

As we think through this triplicate, of faith, hope and love, let us focus in on love. What really is love? We read that God is love but can we comprehend that? We would not even know what love is until God first demonstrated His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Someone might dare to die for a righteous man, but for a sinner (Romans 5:7)? That shows us that God’s love is not like our love. His love is unconditional, not dependent on what we do, but only on His character, of the one, Jesus Christ, who demonstrated His love to us. This is what, in the Greek language, is called Agape love.

The kind of love we are familiar with is called, in the Greek language, Phileo love. That is where we get the word philanthropy, giving to benefit the human race, or Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. But these are really not the pure kind of love as Agape love is. Most of the kind of love we have is conditional love. … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P38 (07-14-20)

Synopsis

Many people think God grades on a curve, for they reason, that after all nobody is perfect, so you just do the best you can. Others believe that you have to keep short accounts with God to keep in fellowship or in relationship with God, and others go to a confession booth to get their sins forgiven. But all of this is people relying on their own understanding, not acknowledging God, so that He can make their paths straight. So people who do not know God, what do they do? They form a religion. They develop a system that they think will take care of their sins since they know they cannot keep the demands of the law. It makes no difference whether you say you are Protestant, Catholic or something else.

So let us rely not on our understanding but look at what God has to say on the matter. Certainly God knows what we need. Why would he go through the trouble of sending His Son from heaven to come here to earth to die on a cross? God wanted to provide something for … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P37 (07-13-20)

Synopsis

We are continuing in our study on Faith, Hope and Love. Now, in regards to belief and faith, they are different. Belief is based on what is in your head, information, but faith is what you put in your heart, a conviction you live by, and is based on truth. Belief is memorizing something, and even talking about it, but it would be like a parrot merely repeating what it heard. Now faith is a conviction of the heart, with solid convictions formed in you. Faith produces attitudes of the heart. You can place your faith on either a faulty foundation or a firm foundation. If you see a broken chair, you know it will not hold you up. If you see a solid chair, you can place your faith by sitting down on that chair. Your faith is made evident by your action. You live by your faith, the firm convictions and attitudes formed in you by what you know to be true, and are persuaded of and convinced of.

No, when it comes to law and grace, you read about the ten commandments and … Listen to Broadcast & Read More
