Jesus is Our Hope of Glory

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P26 (06-16-20)

Synopsis

So we, who are in Christ, have this blessed hope, that one day, in a flash, in a twinkling of an eye, we will be changed. The moment we die, or the moment we are raptured, either way, we will be changed because we will see Him as He really is. We will be given a new spiritual body, like His. This earthly body will remain in the grave. For we read that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. The perishable will be swallowed up with the imperishable. Now, what we will be, what this new body will be like, that has not been made known. But we do know what Jesus said, that our body will be like His glorious body. And we know one thing about His body, that after He walked on the earth after rising from the dead, he appeared to his disciples behind locked doors. He walked through a wall. So, I would assume that we will have a body that can walk through walls. But beyond that, what the body will be like has not been made known.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Faith Responds to Jesus

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P25 (06-15-20)

Synopsis

Now let us look at this wonderful hope we have. If you ever had to sell your car or house, you want to do so to get a good deal, to exchange something of value, such as a car, that someone else deems valuable. You want the money you receive in exchange for selling your car as more valuable to you than the car. That is a good deal. Now, in Christ, we have an incredibly good deal! We exchanged a few brief years on this earth, allowing Christ to live his life in and through us, and in exchange we will one day be present with the Lord with a new glorious body that never gets old and never dies, and is no longer in the presence of sin, nor will ever experience sorrow, sickness or pain again, and we will forever be with the Lord for eternity. That is a great deal! That is the marvelous hope we have in Christ Jesus. We know this hope is going to happen because the Lord told us in His word that it will happen. That is our blessed hope.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus Loves You and Forgave You

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P24 (06-10-20)

Synopsis

We have a lot of disturbing news recently, of riots and murder in our streets. We wonder if there will ever be peace on earth. But by faith, we know what God has said, That in this world you will have trials and tribulations while this earth remains as it is with sinful man. But we also know in the end there will be a new heaven and a new earth and God will make all things new. But we know what God has said so we do not have unrealistic expectations at this current state. It is unrealistic to expect that we can do something to reclaim America for God, to make God do what we want Him to do, or to think we can do something that will bring about peace. The peace that God gives is something the world knows nothing about. God’s peace does not depend on circumstances. Peace is what God gives when we place our trust in Him, when we act in faith in what God has promised. Why then did Jesus say, “Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.”.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Believe Jesus Took Away All Your Sins

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P23 (06-09-20)

Synopsis

In this world today, of riots and pillaging and murder in the streets, is that something that should shock us, as if that would never happen, in a world of sin and death? God said that in this world you will have trials and tribulations. So what happens when we do not hold onto the truth of what God has said? Do we even realize that there is an enemy called Satan, or have we been deceived into thinking he does not exist? If we think he does not exist, then who do people tend to blame? Do they not tend to blame God for causing or allowing these things to happen? Do we have unrealistic expectations, expectations different than what God told us to expect to happen? So why is this faith in Christ so vital for us to walk in, to believe what God has said and to act upon that belief?

But what else has God promised us. He said that He has overcome the world. And in Him there is peace that surpasses understanding. And, he said that He will cause all things to happen for the good for those who love Him and are called according to His good purpose.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Righteousness is Credited by Faith

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P22 (06-08-20)

Synopsis

Now this faith in Christ is in conflict with the desires of the flesh. Do we really realize how wretched we are without Christ? Paul once thought he could obey the law. He thought he could conquer coveting. But he discovered that the more he tried to not covet, he coveted all the more. What is that? The flesh having mastery over you. He cried out, “Oh, what a wretched man I am! Who can save me from this? Praise be to God through Jesus Christ my Lord!”

So what do people try to do to conquer problems of the flesh, whether it be over-eating, drug addiction, bulimia, anorexia, alcoholism, or even to quit smoking? Can you stop? With enough will power and determination, as a non-believer, you could stop the behavior. But even if you did, does it solve the root problem of your behavior? All such behavior has one thing in common, it is sin-indwelling flesh at the core of the problem. Many psychologists are not believers and can only give you a solution from the world, to get you to stop your behavior by disciplining your flesh.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Walk in Faith Today

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P21 (06-03-20)

Synopsis

We exercise faith every day. We trust the chair we sit in will hold us up, that the car we drive will get us to the intended destination, that the food we eat at a restaurant is not poisoned. In a similar way, faith in Christ Jesus is what allows us to access what He has already provided for us, to live in the new life He has given us. Our faith does not cause God to do something any more than swallowing causes you to live. The good food, not the junk food, is what causes you to live. Our faith allows us to access, or enter into what God has already given. Faith is trusting what God has said, in the promises that God has made, that He is able to fulfill what He has promised. As Jesus said, man shall live by the very words of God. That is our spiritual food that sustains us.

Can you think of the many promises God has made to us? How about that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life? Do you believe that?… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
