It takes others to make him become able to commit sin!
Preface:
1. At the beginning, it takes Satan to make them become able to commit sin!
2. Have you seen a new born committed sin?
3. It takes constant sinful surrounding to make him become able to commit sin!
A. Here is God's forever formula! Romans 2:6-13
1. God will give to each man according to what he had done! Ro.2:6
2. To those by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
3. For the self-seeking and reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. Ro.2:8
4. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:…2:9
5. But glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
6. Now you know why disasters come around more often than other times?
7.Think about these a little!
Who care about in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed?
A righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written:
The righteous will live by faith. Ro.1:17
B. What does live by faith mean?
1. As Apostle Paul said: It is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight!
It is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous! Romans 2:13
2. James explained it further! James 2:17-26
3. In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 2:17
4. But someone will say: You have faith; I have deeds.
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. 2:18
5. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-- and shudder. 2:19
6. You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 2:20
7. Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac
on the altar? 2:21
8. You see that his faith and his actions were working together,
and his faith was made complete by what he did. 2:22
9. And the scripture was fulfilled that says: Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as
Righteousness, and he was called God's friend. 2:23
10. As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. 2:26
C. Making the right choice matters!
1. A good name or riches? Pro.22:1
A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
What do human do? Man has chosen silver and gold! Work, retire, sit back and waiting to…
2. Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all. Pro.22:2
They are all created for the glory of God!
There are poor and extreme evil and there are poor purity! Pro.22:3
3. There are prudent men and there are simple men! Pro.22:3
A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
4. There are humility and the fear of the Lord! Pro.22:4
Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life.
5. There are paths of the wicked! Pro.22:5
In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them.
6. Spare the rod or train a child with the rod!
a. Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it! Pro.22:6
b. Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Pro.23:13
c. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death. Pro.23:14
d. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. Pro.29:15
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this October 1, 2017.
