A. This is common consensus in our world today!
1. When threatened by Corona-virus!
A nation, a city or town declared all non-essential activities are canceled, such as … going to church!
2. These three little words caught my attention greatly!
3. For this exposed human ignorance in Bible truth!
4. Bible truth is the one that can save souls! James 1:21
5. Today people in the world are living only life the body!
6. Their personal identity is forever lost!
Human was created as a living soul dwells inside a body! Gen.2:7
Enquire around and see if you can find one knows this around your social ‘friends’!
B. 1 Thes.5:23 still unknown to them!
1. Yes, each human has spirit and soul and body!
2. All the world is living only life the body!
3. Wonder no longer why so much trouble in the world!
4. Yes, many English and Chinese Bibles had translated it correctly! How can they still not know!
5. These messages had been in the Bible for 2000 years! God intended for all to know!
C. Titus 3:10-11
1. How can the word denomination hide behind factious for 1500 years!
2. So many still do not know!
3. Yes, clear and simple! Denomination people are warped, sinful and self-condemned!
4. Why and how can people proudly announce we are so and so denomination!
D. Heb.10:39
1. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition;
but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
2. By the grace of God, we are of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
3. What does the word ‘believe’ means here?
a. Believe that does not include water baptism is not believe! Ac.2:38, 19:4-5
b. Believe that does not include Sunday worship in church of Christ is not believe!
c. Believe that does not live a life according to what Bible says is dead. James2:26
E. These are some reasons!
1. With so many miracles Jesus performed plus the resurrection of Lazarus!
Jews still did not believe Jesus is the Christ!
God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts, nor turn-- and I would heal them. Jn.12:37-40
2. God wants human to seek and find Him! Ac.17:24-27
But human determined not to seek and find Him!
3. God wants human to know Him and glorify Him!
But human is determined not to know Him nor to glorify Him!
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him,
but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Ro.1:18-21
4. Yes, human are darkened in their understanding! Eph.4:18
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God
because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
F. Test to know your Bible teachers! Jn.8:31-59
1. Do they know what’s wrong in John 8:31?
2. It is easy! The original Greek word having has been changed into had!
3. Your Bible teachers must know why they changed having believed into had believed or simply believed!
4. If your Bible teachers do not know this, Jesus said they are not saved people!
5. If you are a real believer of Jesus you must have this much mercy to reach out to your Bible teachers!
G. Conclusion:
1. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me;
yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1Cor.9:16
2. These words are not for decoration only! It is for us to practice! Turn on your phone and call!
May God bless you and keep you always! Preach this March 22, 2020.
