NOT A BIT OF IT! “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Our Lord never nurses our prejudices, He mortifies them, runs clean athwart them. We imagine that God has a special interest in our particular prejudices; we are quite sure that God will never deal with us as He has to deal with other people. “God must deal with other people in a very..

THE VIEWPOINT “Now thanks be to God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:14 The viewpoint of a worker for God must not be as near the highest as he can get, it must be the highest. Be careful to maintain strenuously God’s point of view, it has to be done every day, bit by bit; don’t think on the finite. No outside power can touch the viewpoint. The viewpoint to maintai..

THE ETERNAL CRUSH OF THINGS “I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.” 1 Corinthians 9:22 A Christian worker has to learn how to be God’s noble man or woman amid a crowd of ignoble things. Never make this plea—If only I were somewhere else! All God’s men are ordinary men made extraordinary by the matter He has given them. Unless we have the right matter in our minds ..

WHAT IS A MISSIONARY? “As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.” John 20:21 A missionary is one sent by Jesus Christ as He was sent by God. The great dominant note is not the needs of men, but the command of Jesus. The source of our inspiration in work for God is behind, not before. The tendency today is to put the inspiration ahead, to sweep everything in front of us and bring it all out ..

THE METHOD OF MISSIONS “Go ye therefore, and teach[disciple] all nations.” Matthew 28:19 Jesus Christ did not say—Go and save souls (the salvation of souls is the supernatural work of God), but—“Go and teach,” i.e., disciple, “all nations,” and you cannot make disciples unless you are a disciple yourself. When the disciples came back from their first mission they were filled with joy because the..

오스왈드 챔버스 366일 묵상집(영한) 1028 JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH=믿음으로 인한 칭의 성령충만땅에천국 2012. 7. 18. 16:33 JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Romans 5:10 I am not saved by believing; I realize I am saved by believing. It is not repentance that saves me, repentance is the sign that I r..

SUBSTITUTION “He hath made Him to be sin for us…that we might be made the righteousness of God….” 2 Corinthians 5:21 The modern view of the death of Jesus is that He died for our sins out of sympathy. The New Testament view is that He bore our sin not by sympathy, but by identification. He was made to be sin. Our sins are removed because of the death of Jesus, and the explanation of His death is..

FAITH “Without faith it is impossible to please Him.” Hebrews 11:6 Faith in antagonism to common sense is fanaticism, and common sense in antagonism to faith is rationalism. The life of faith brings the two into a right relation. Common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense; they stand in the relation of the natural and the spiritual; of impulse and inspiration. Nothing Jesus Christ ..
