Bible Study....A Working Salvation of the People of God
Introduction: I Pet. 2:9-12 "the people of God "
Phil.2:12&13 "God working in you"
IThes. 2:13 "The word of God working effectually in you"
Mk.5:16 may our "workings" glorify our Father.
I.Why a working salvation is so important.
People, today, are drawn by action, not just words Mt.10:16 "It can be helpful to be aware of those things which affect positively for Christianity. "
We may be assured Satan is aware of those things which help his cause.
Questions
1. If I were not a Christian today, what kind of church would it take to encourage me to attend to hear the word?
2. If I were not a Christian today, what kind of Christian would it take to encourage me to attend to hear the word?
We can be the kind of Christian that will encourage others with truth.
ICor.6:19&20 We belong to God.
ITim.5:10- good traits
I believe this kind of "a people" can have great affect to encourage others to hear and learn about Jesus.
This is a "peculiar people"
II.Areas in which our salvation should work
1.Work to encourage each other
Heb.10:24&25 exhort--encourage
ITim.4:13 give attention to exhortation---encouragement
ITim.4:16 "give attention to the doctrine"
Christians we can encourage others to live soberly, righteously and godly today.
2.Work to encourage those without -- not an attiude of " They know we're here or Come and get it".
Eph.2:13-16- We Christians were made near to God by the blood of our Lord.
Exs. of some of Jesus teaching
Jn.4:5 and following verses: Jesus met her where she was (needing water) and took her where He was going.
Jn.8:1 and following verses: Jesus met her at what she needed (mercy) and taught her " Go and sin no more".
We Christians are told:
Mt.28:19&20 -- go teach
Rm.10:13&14 how shall believe on whom they have not heard?
My Brethren, time and energy were spent in helping lead people away from Christ and His Church. We need not think it strange that it will take time and energy to lead them to Christ and back to Christ.
Lk.15:4-6 God is happy when people come to Him or back to Him. "Rejoice with me, I have found my sheep".
