Pride will never allow you take instructions. Only the lowly in heart will know the value of the wisdom that is embedded in instructions

THE LIBERATING TRUTHS OF CHRIST, THE LIGHT

MONDAY BIBLE STUDY
BY PASTOR W. F. KUMUYI
ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2017
BIBLE READING: II KINGS 17

THE LIBERATING TRUTHS OF CHRIST, THE LIGHT
John 8:12-30
Matthew 13:14,15 Acts 7:25. The deliverer was around but they were still suffering because of lack of understanding. They referred to His speech as being erroneous - II Peter 2:12,17
They converse with Jesus but were not converted by Jesus. This happens when one comes with a kind of heart hardened and darkened unwilling to yield to God.
Acts 7:51. The Pharisees will not miss the preaching points and places of Jesus but their hearts rebelled against the truth, heaven, their own eternal salvation. They use their religion to work against themselves. They use their evil intentions against themselves.

1. WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF THE SAVING TRUTH
2. WARNING FOR THE LOST WITHOUT HIS SAVING TRUTH
3. WORTHINESS OF THE LORD OUR SUSTAINING TRUTH

1. WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF THE SAVING TRUTH
John 8:12-18
Just as anyone can talk about his/her profession, Jesus also said "I am the light". But this made the Pharisees stood in opposition of him that his record about himself isn't true. He clarified it in verses 17 & 18. Other records has been given by John the baptist in John 1:9 and some in Matthew 4:16,17; Malachi 4:2
We are to separate ourselves from these doubters and argumentatives. John 8:12; 12:35,46; Ephesians 5:8-11,14; Romans 13:11-14

2. WARNING FOR THE LOST WITHOUT HIS SAVING TRUTH
John 8:19-27
Jesus warned them of perishing; He warned them of missing heaven; He warned them of damning their soul John 8:21,22. His warning was clear and pointedly. Verse 44.
They understood earthly matters but didn't understand essentially eternal truths. All knowledge will fail on the last day if one does not have the  knowledge of Salvation. The knowledge of who Jesus is, as He that takes away sin, brought about redemption and as He which will take us to heaven is what is most needful. John 7:34; 3:18,36; Hebrews 2:1
We are to give earnest heed to the message of salvation, Sanctification, making our ways right, the word of God that we are hearing.
Hebrews 10:26-31. The Pharisees knew that this is the Redeemer and they willfully rejected Him. Many of the Scribes and Pharisees died without salvation.

3. THE WORTHINESS OF THE LORD OUR SUSTAINING TRUTH
John 8:28-30; 12:32-36; 8:28; 5:19,30; 6:38; 12:49; Matthew 3:17; Hebrews 11:5
You must live a life that is so clear that God can testify to just as God testified to in Matthew 3:17.
Christ is the Saviour, Sanctifier, Redeemer and has been revealed
John 8:30. He is the worthy, so:
_Acknowledged Him
_Believe Him
_Receive Him
_Confess Him
_Obey Him
_Live for Him
_Follow Him until the end
"I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back"
John 14:1-3; 17:24.
The Light has been revealed, we are to walk in the Light

STAND FAST; STAND WITH CORRECT CONVICTION

STAND FAST; STAND WITH CORRECT CONVICTION

A man who is standing fast on a wrong conviction is like a bicycle rider who thinks he can successfully ride safely to his destination looking elsewhere while riding. It would have been better for the rider not to have set out on the journey because he is exposing himself to several dangers on the road. If he continues in that manner, he will soon be badly injured or lost his life.
Dare to stand? Stand on the correct conviction. Don't be carried away with the multitudes. A man with God is of a strength incomparable to battalions of armed forces.
If you are standing for God, be convinced that you cannot accommodate not excuse sin in anyway.

"Don't think of carrying the Holy God in your partly stained heart, He won't inhabit it. He needs you to be comfortable and stay with sinlessness"
