Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is— you have trusted in Him for eternal life), it is important to prepare yourself to take-in God’s Word or participating in a Communion Service, so take a moment to name, cite or acknowledge your sins privately directly to God the Father. This will assure that you are in fellowship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s convicting ministry, also called the convincing ministry will then be able to teach you as the Holy Spirit is the real teacher and the pastor’s message is the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to convince you what you are learning is true or not.
1 John 1:9 says—“If we confess [simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins].” NKJV (New King James Version)
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life and you will be saved the very second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says, “he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV

Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:
Our Pastor-Teacher is:
This ministry is non-denominational and is dedicated to
teaching the Word of God from the original languages and
making it available at no charge throughout the world.

Sermon
NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references” (some websites may require to left click the link, if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible) when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
Dispensation of the Mosaic Law. The Law of Love.
Jam 2:8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
Category one love is the believer’s capacity to love God and to respond to God’s love based on Bible doctrine in his soul.
The command to have category one love is found in such passages concerning the giving of the Law and the Ten Commandments as in Deut 6:5, 10:12, 11:13.
All this means that is apart from the daily function of perception, metabolization and application of Bible doctrine, it is impossible to love God!
The number #1 principle that defines the Law and the commandments is that all believers are commanded to love God in Mar 12:30 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
If Bible doctrine or the words of Christ are not abiding in you, you do not have love for God, this is according to John 5:38-42.
“hears” is the pres-act-ind of akouo which is akouei meaning to hear in an audience, to listen, to concentrate, to understand, to learn, to give a hearing.
Not only will you hear doctrine but “if you love the Lord” you will keep His doctrines, John 14:15.
“keep” is the aor-act-imp of tereo which is teresate which means to guard something that belongs to you. It also means to watch over carefully, to keep, to hold, to preserve and to pay attention to, therefore to retain!
If you guard or keep God’s Word in you, God’s love will be in you, John 15:10.
Having God’s mind or Bible doctrine is that which produces God’s love in the local assembly, Phil 2:2
Phil 2:2 make my happiness complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
Keeping doctrine is the only way to love with God’s love, 1Jo 2:5.
“perfected” is the perf-pass-ind, teleioo which means to complete or to reach maturity. It also means to come to the place where it can be released.
Loving God is also revealed with impersonal love toward one another, 1Jo 4:7.
“knows God” is the pres-act-imp of ginosko and the present tense means the more we love reveals the more we are progressively getting to know Him.
Since God is invisible and the object of category one love, we must see and love Him through doctrine in the soul.
You cannot love God unless you know God, and you cannot know God unless you have metabolized enough pertinent doctrine, 1Pe 1:8, Eph 3:18 19, Heb 6:10, 2Ti 1:13-14, Col 3:1-2.
1Pe 1:8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe Him [His doctrine,
Jer 3:15 “I will give you pastors after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding.
Jer 23:4 “I shall also raise up pastors over them and they will feed them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord.
Category one love also sets up the standard for grace, Psa 119:132, Turn to me and be gracious to me, After Thy manner with those who love Thy name.
Category one love is also the basis for supergrace blessing, 1Co 2:9, Ps 37:4-5.
1Co 2:9 but just as it is written, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Psa 37:4-5, Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
Category one love is the basis for personal and national blessing, Deut 30:15-20.
Category one love motivates combat courage and military victory, Jos 23:10-11.
Jos 23:10-11; “One of your men puts to flight a thousand, for the Lord your God is He who fights for you, just as He promised you. “So take diligent heed to yourselves to love the Lord your God.
Category one love provides strength for adversity and pressure, Heb 11:27; Heb 11:27 By means of doctrine resident in the soul, Moses left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.
This is why there is a special curse on believers who fail to have category one love in 1Co 16:22, they are said to be “cursed until the Lord comes.”
1Co 16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha.
Even witnessing must be motivated by category one love, 2Co 5:14 “The love of Christ motivates us.”
Rom 8:28 gives us the answer “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him,
And, there is no love for God until there is an X amount of metabolized doctrine.
Love toward God then becomes a major issue.
Not love for people but as we will see love for God.
Rom 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
prin-When you start to love someone you have not seen, it’s because you have linked up with their thinking.
The pres-act-part of pisteuo which is pisteuontes which refers to believing doctrine or having it metabolized.
Answer: Bible doctrine, you believe the word of God!
“full of glory” is a reference to the spiritually sustained believer who reflects the glory of God with the structure in his soul.
How can you ever assume that loving God the Father, loving God the Son under occupation with Christ, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit be set aside for a lot of nonsense called “Christian fellowship” or social life with Christians?
Hymn #3
The following link is to a good news message describing how one can receive eternal life:
Ticket to Heaven, it was written for anyone not absolutely certain about their eternal future.
I do try to live at peace with others. It seems a conflict in a smaller church is being a single person, where most of the church is married couples and families. It would be helpful at times to visit a larger church where there are more single people, and more opportunities and support for singles in the church. Attending other Christian events outside of a smaller church setting is helpful also, to get out more and meet other Christians.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, Thanks for the comment. I know what you mean; there are not many large churches that both teach accurate bible teaching from the original languages and have a lot of singles. The most important thing a Christian can do is grow spiritually to the point of spiritual maturity which can only be achieved through consistent study of bible truth and applying what you learn to our daily lives. This is the reason I post the Internet Church Service and the Weekly Bible Study. Between these two services they get about 2,000 consistent hits per month. I've never asked anyone to join the groups I post on the Internet (I post on 26 sites twice weekly plus some attendees share with friends on Facebook); God leads believers to the sites I post on so God gets all the credit. I'm sure some singles that attend these services I post get their Bible Doctrine here and scout around in large churches that are centered in teaching bible truth for other compatible singles. By His Grace, Mark
