1. My quiet time reading in God’s Word today, Exodus, chapters 20-23, which include, the Ten Commandments, drive me to seek help from the God definitively revealed to all in Jesus. As a sinful person, I see I’m incapable of keeping God’s Law...

2. ..., summarized by Jesus as “love God, love neighbor.”
But Jesus has perfectly kept God’s Law, then offered Himself as the perfectly sinless Lamb of God Who takes away the power of sin and death over our lives. ...

3. ...All who repent and believe in Jesus are reconciled to God and are given life with God in His everlasting Kingdom. By God-given faith in Jesus, we are rescued from the power of sin and death over us and belong to God eternally. ...

@pudicat11

@pudicat11 Such beliefs pour contempt on Christ and what He has finished doing for us. The belief that we can save ourselves by our good works is, functionally, atheism, no matter how many nice things ppl say about Jesus, even if they show up for worship every Sunday.

@pudicat11

@pudicat11 Of course, if atheists show up for worship every Sunday, whatever their reason, they may hear the Gospel Word about Jesus and may actually come to believe that Jesus has the only name by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

@pudicat11

@pudicat11 That's what happened to me. I was a real, God-rejecting, Christ-rejecting atheist, who thought Jesus and the Gospel about Him had nothing to offer me. I thought I'd make my way through this depending on myself, then die and simply dissolve to powder in the ground.

1. That Jesus performed notable miracles, signs of His identity as God in human flesh, was confirmed by two major non-Biblical sources: (1) Josephus’ History of the Jews. Josephus wasn’t a follower of Jesus, an historian of his people, who spoke of Jesus’ miracles;…

2. The Talmud, a collection of Jewish teachings from about 100 AD, acknowledged Jesus’ miracles.

3. Christian faith is based in history and fact. Knowing facts is not the same as faith, of course. The question is whether we will so resist the implications of the facts about Jesus that we close our minds and wills to the Holy Spirit’s gift of faith in Jesus when He offers it.

1. Hey, folks, your ideas appreciated. Prepping for study of Genesis 24 tonight. Verse 2 recounts oath Abraham exacts of servant to find a wife for Isaac. The oath is signified by a gesture: the servant putting his hand under Abraham’s thigh.

2. It’s clear enough that the oath expresses Abraham’s faith that God will fulfill His promises through Abraham’s genetic descendants. The gesture was common for oath-taking in such matters.
