Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at The Word of God P5 (02-16-21)

Synopsis

You cannot separate the word of God from the person of God. They are so intertwined. When God says something it is a total reflection of who He is. You cannot separate who He is from what He says. They are one and the same, unlike us. God is not like us. When someone asks us, “How are you doing?”, we say, “Fine” when we know very well we are not fine. We can be phony. God is never phony. When God speaks, it is always truth.

The scriptures are the very words of God and Jesus, who is God, quoted from His own words. When scriptures prophecy something is going to happen, it happens as recorded in the scripture. Scriptures spoke of what is going to be fulfilled in Christ long before the unfolding events happen, and those events happen just as the Word says it will happen.

Throughout His earthly ministry Jesus validated the Word of God as the absolute standard of truth. The gospels record Jesus making almost 160 quotations from or allusions to the Old Testament. Three-fourths of the books in the Hebrew scriptures are cited in these references.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Follow Jesus to The Cross and Resurrection

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at The Word of God P4 (02-15-21)

Synopsis

Why is it that we are so slow of heart to believe? I know I was, and at times, I still struggle to trust Christ to provide for my daily needs. But God initiates His love to us. That is when our hearts become softened and He gets our attention. Have you ever asked that question, “Why would God love me?” But He does.

So you have been in the religious world all your life. Then some guy comes along and tells you strange things you have never heard before. He comes right up to you and asks, “Are you saved?” You reply, “What are you talking about?” Then you hang out with these people who identify themselves as Christians. (Now, in today’s world that word has lost value and everyone calls themselves a Christian.) But, you are thinking to yourself, “Who ever calls themselves a Christian?” But you see something in them that draws you. These guys seem genuine and real. They speak often from the scriptures, explaining how this word of God has application to life. You are intrigued.

Now, think about the disciples. Here is the living Christ, telling them all these things, quoting from the scriptures.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Faith Says Thank You For Forgiveness

Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P607 (02-11-21)

Synopsis

We can be a believer and fall into all kinds of destructive lifestyle choices and become trapped in a sin. Why is that? It is because the renewing of the mind has not occurred or we stopped trusting God. For example, if you think you are still a sinner, then what would you naturally do? Sin. You do what you think you are. But God has called you out of darkness and into the kingdom of Light. You are never in darkness again. Or, you listened to the voice of the world, relied on your own understanding, followed your feelings rather than what you know to be true. There are all kinds of ways we fall short. How often do we worry? And worry is a sin. We are all working out our salvation in fear and trembling. We are saved but God is at work in us, renewing our mind, so we can walk in the new way of the Spirit.

The key to this overcoming of sinful habits and behaviors is to know that you are a child of God, a new creation, a new identity in Christ Jesus.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus Said to Believe in Him

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at The Word of God P3 (02-10-21)

Synopsis

You cannot separate the word of God from the person of Jesus Christ. If you will not or cannot believe the word of God is absolutely true, then how are you going to know if any of it is true, including truth about Christ Jesus. So how can we ever rest in salvation in the one who came to save us if we are not certain the book that recorded that salvation is true. So if it is true as it relates to the person of Jesus Christ, it has to be true in regard to what Christ claimed about every word He held in His hand.

The entire testimony of the bible rests upon the author, and that is Christ Jesus. The credibility of the book rests in the credibility of the author. Jesus said the word is totally true. Listen now as Bob George reads eyewitness accounts of those who had been with Jesus when He walked on the earth. What testimony do we have from Jesus’ own words concerning the Old Testament scriptures He held in His hands? What importance did He place on the word of God, when He was tempted by the devil in the wilderness?… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Truth Sets You Free

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at The Word of God P2 (02-09-21)

Synopsis

Do you have a plumbline to gauge whether something is true? The word of God is the plumbline for truth, to gauge our lives so that we are not ensnared and trapped in error in our thinking but can submit to God and resist the lie and live in truth. The battle in the world today, as in Jesus day, and since the beginning of time, has been the battle for the mind. That is where temptation starts.

Temptation is getting you to doubt what God has said, to doubt that God has the best in mind for you, and to believe that someone other than God has the answers to life, that someone else can give you what you need rather than God, or that you can meet your own needs and live independently of God, or even that He is not God. Satan has so deceived mankind that we have become slaves to the god of this world, who is Satan, where we experience so much heartache and pain.

Jesus came as the living word, living like a man, even though He is God, so that we, who are not God, will know what it means to live in the manner God intended us to live, in total dependency on a perfectly merciful and loving God.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

A Closer Look at The Word of God

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at The Word of God P1 (02-08-21)

Synopsis

How do you form convictions? Do you know what truth is? How do you know what is true and what is not true? What if I found out my convictions were based on a lie? Do you get truth by what some man says is true? But he could be lying to you. How would you know? Where would you look for something as important as the meaning and purpose of life, for answers to the nagging questions you might have? “What is wrong with me?”, “Why am I not experiencing the joy of salvation?”, or “Why do I feel empty inside?”

How many of you have heard, “What is true for you is not true for me.” as if truth is relative, and as if no one can know the truth. Is that true? No. If we know Jesus is God, and in the last series of studies, we showed overwhelming evidence to come to the conclusion that He is God, then if Jesus is our Creator, and He is, then would you not want to find out what He has to say? He certainly knows how our mind is supposed to function and how we are supposed to live, since He created us.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
