“ Did not the devil say if only... ”
When God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he was basically saying that if you try to live by the law or knowledge of good and evil, you will become dead to me and I will become dead to you. But you will become alive to the world. We can see from the very beginning of creation that mankind was always meant to LIVE or be alive by God’s Spirit dwelling within man which was the “breath of life”. And when mankind sinned by violating God’s law by “doing” what they were told not to “do”, that is, they ate from the wrong tree, the breath of life or Holy Spirit withdrew himself from within them. The absence of life is death. Galatians 3:10-14:
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree |

“ Great Sermon! ”
Such an important lesson, and so powerfully delivered by Reverend Stewart!
Back in 2016, my mother was diagnosed with ALS, and given a mere 18 months to live. My sister and I took care of her from that day onward, much to the amazement of our loved ones. They all knew that we NEVER got on with our mother, who was quite mean, and they wondered why we didn’t toss her in a home somewhere.
A few years prior to this, I probably would have. But I had since returned to the LORD, and I know it for a fact that He filled my heart with forgiveness and patience during this time. I was actually eager to bathe her, give her medicine, and feed her through a feeding tube. It was a wonderful way to get rid of our negative past, and to send Mom off into, hopefully, a positive future.
This experience taught me that as long as I do what I can, lovingly, cheerfully, the LORD will do the rest!
Amen and amen! |

“ I appreciate this sermon very much ”
Here some thoughts which came up listening to your sermon. The fact that we died with Christ is of greatest importance. In Jesus' grave we lost our guilt. He prepared the grave for us by dying first. Romans 6:11 is a key verse for our life with Christ. "So you also must (this is a command) consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus". Why that? Because God himself saw us and still sees us as dead in Christ. He now sees us alive in Christ as we rose with him. What God sees must also be what we see. This is a great truth for our life long walk in the Spirit. |
