The Family Of God?

The Family Of God? August 9, 2013 – Ephesians 2 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Ephesians 2.  Paul reminds the Ephesians (both Jew and Gentile) that they being saved by the blood of Jesus are one in the spirit.  “19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.”  Ephesians 2:19-22 ESV.  Because we were sinners saved by Jesus are we any better than the sinner we are looking away from?  Only in the difference that Jesus has made in us!  So when you pray for one lost in sin remember when that prayer is answered you gain a sibling in Christ Jesus.  When Jesus has blesses the object of our prayer that person becomes one with us in Jesus.  “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7 ESV.   Jesus knows who you earnestly pray for even the number of hair on their head.  When that soul has received Jesus they are part of the family of God. Jesus is calling! Can you still hear him?  He won’t call forever, now is the time to answer his call.

Each A Part Of The Whole!

Each A Part Of The Whole! August 8, 2013 – Ephesians 1 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Ephesians 1.  Ephesians Overview; “This epistle was written when St. Paul was a prisoner at Rome. The design appears to be to strengthen the Ephesians in the faith of Christ, and to give exalted views of the love of God, and of the dignity and excellence of Christ, fortifying their minds against the scandal of the cross. He shows that they were saved by grace, and that however wretched they once were, they now had equal privileges with the Jews. He encourages them to persevere in their Christian calling, and urges them to walk in a manner becoming their profession, faithfully discharging the general and common duties of religion, and the special duties of particular relations.” - Matthew Henry Concise Paul greets the Ephesians with a reminder that they were saved by the blood of Jesus.  This sacrifice made the Jew and Gentile one in Jesus. Paul thanks God for their confidence and salvation in the name of Jesus. “20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.”  Ephesians 1:20-23 ESV.  Saints remember we are all parts of the same body in Jesus.  Each dependent on the other.  “For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” Psalm 149:4 ESV.   Jesus has blessed us all with redemption. Jesus is calling!” He won’t call forever, now is the time to answer his call.

(1-8) And as conveyed in effectual calling: this is applied to the believing Jews, and to the believing Gentiles. (9-14) The apostle thanks God for their faith and love, and prays for the continuance of their knowledge and hope, with respect to the heavenly inheritance, and to God's powerful working in them.

Set Free To What Purpose?

Set Free To What Purpose? August 7, 2013 – Galatians 5 & 6 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Galatians 5 & 6.  Jesus set us free from slavery to our natural sin.  “1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery… 13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. ” Galatians 5:1 English Standard Version (ESV). Just as we talked about yesterday Jesus set us free.  True freedom requires us to be aware of those free saints around us that we don’t trample on their freedom. “25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.” Galatians 5:25-26 ESV.  We are set free with a purpose that will bless our Lord Jesus. If we are truly free we will endeavor to work together supporting each other’s burdens. “1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.”  Galatians 6:1 ESV.  Saints let’s all work together to help others to be set free by Jesus.   “14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” Galatians 6:14-16 ESV.   Jesus set us free to share his love.

When Was I A Slave?

When Was I A Slave? August 6, 2013 – Galatians 4 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Galatians 4.  The folly of turning to the law for justification is the “Law” merely points out sin. There is forgiveness from sin Jesus. Paul has earnest concern for the Galatians.  So he explains the difference between what is to be expected from the law, and from the gospel. “28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 31 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.” Galatians 4:28-31 English Standard Version (ESV). Saint’s you have accepted Jesus so you are no longer a slave. You may protest and say; “When was I in slavery?”  We were all natural men born into slavery unto sin.  But you who asked Jesus into your heart and turned from sin are born of spirit and free from sin in Jesus.   “The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.” Psalm 119:160 ESV.  There is no other name whereby we are saved from sin; Jesus saves us free from slavery to sin.

(19,20) And then explains the difference between what is to be expected from the law, and from the gospel.

Can Men Light The Way?

Can Men Light The Way? August 5, 2013 – Galatians 3 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Galatians 3.  The Galatians had turned from faith in Christ.  They foolishly thought that they could earn salvation and therefore justification through the law.   Abraham’s faith came from the word and God’s promise.  The law merely confirms the sin of men, it did not provide for salvation and regeneration.  The law was the road sign in that it pointed out the need of salvation through Jesus.  All saints become equal in salvation through Christ; “26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[g] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.” Galatians 3:26-29 English Standard Version (ESV). We all have a personal relationship with Jesus.  “The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.” Psalm 119:130 ESV.  Jesus is the way, the truth and the light and through Jesus we are all saved.  It is foolishness to think that God sent an imperfect gospel for us.

(1-5) This doctrine established from the example of Abraham. (6-9) From the tenor of the law and the severity of its curse. (10-14) From the covenant of promises, which the law could not disannul.

Victory In Jesus! August 4, 2013 – Galatians 2 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Galatians 2.  The apostle Paul proclaims revelations that he received from God made him an apostle to the Gentiles.  Paul Opposes Peter for acting as a hypocrite along with the rest of the Jews in Galatia.  Paul declares he no longer lives under the doctrine of the law, now he lives under justification by faith in Jesus. “19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[c] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.” Galatians 2:19-21 English Standard Version (ESV). Do we go to church on Sunday, Saturday or Wednesday to show our “Good Works” or to share our faith and worship Jesus?  We need to walk in victory with Jesus every minute of every day!  ““Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” Jeremiah 33:2-3 ESV.  Jesus is the light that keeps us on the path to a victorious, purpose filled life!

Who Should We Witness To?

Who Should We Witness To? August 3, 2013 – Galatians 1 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading in Galatians 1. Galatians an Overview; ”The churches in Galatia were formed partly of converted Jews, and partly of Gentile converts, as was generally the case. St. Paul asserts his apostolic character and the doctrines he taught, that he might confirm the Galatian churches in the faith of Christ, especially with respect to the important point of justification by faith alone. Thus the subject is mainly the same as that which is discussed in the epistle to the Romans, that is, justification by faith alone. In this epistle, however, attention is particularly directed to the point, that men are justified by faith without the works of the law of Moses. Of the importance of the doctrines prominently set forth in this epistle, Luther thus speaks: "We have to fear as the greatest and nearest danger, lest Satan take from us this doctrine of faith, and bring into the church again the doctrine of works and of men's traditions. Wherefore it is very necessary that this doctrine be kept in continual practice and public exercise, both of reading and hearing. If this doctrine be lost, then is also the doctrine of truth, life and salvation, lost and gone."” - Matthew Henry Commentary Concise The apostle Paul greets the saints at Galatia emphasizing his apostleship. He warns the Galatians about turning from the gospel of Christ by listening to false teachers. Paul tells the the saints in Galatia that he could not be a servant of Christ if he was seeking mans approval. He tells them about his ministry and what he had seen as he served Jesus. “18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) 21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.” Galatians 1:18-23 English Standard Version (ESV). Where has your walk with Jesus taken you? Are you sure of your faith? With whom do you share Jesus? “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV. Jesus makes it very clear concerning who we should share His love with (see John 3-16). Can you still hear Jesus calling; “sinner com home!” He won’t call forever, now is the time to answer his call.
