 Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (08-10OCT21)

Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace -Almighty God's unmerited favor to save us from our sins and from Hell:

Christ Gave Himself A Ransom For Many

“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many."-Matthew 20:28 [KJV]

Our blessed God and Saviour gave Himself for the all of the sins of His covenant children andnot for the sins of all mankind.  We call that definite atonement or particular redemption or better yet, aneffectual atonement for sin(Hebrews 9:12 & 26; Hebrews 10:10-17).

When Paul writes in 1 Timothy 2:5-6; “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all,” he is talking about the same “many” that they Lord Jesus Christ is talking about. Scripture must be interpreted in the light of other scriptures.  Someone rightly said, “The best commentary on the scripture is the scripture itself.”

Paul is not teaching universal redemption, He is teaching exactly the same lesson the Lord is teaching, there is no conflict in the scriptures.  If we would just read the record of the word of God we would see who the Lord tasted death for, HIS SHEEP(Hebrews 2:9-18).

The Lord Jesus Christ is our COMPLETE RANSOM unto the holy justice of God; He is totally satisfied with the sacrifice of Christ for our sin; to enable God to be just and the justifier of those who are blessed and ordained TO BELIEVE THE GOSPEL (see Acts 13:48; Romans 3:24-26).

Now just read the record of the Word and believe what it says. Here is the ransom price for the “many” found in the scriptures:

His people…Matthew 1:21…Isaiah 53:8.
His sheep…John 10:15-18.
His church…Acts 20:28.
His elect…Ephesians 1:3-7.
His bride…Ephesians 5:25-27.
His sons…Hebrews 2:10.
His great multitude washed in His blood…Revelation 1:5-6 & 7:9.

JESUS - Rock of Ages

Jesus remains the same in all ages. He is the One who is constant when everything and everyone else fails. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is our R ock [I SAMUEL 2:2 ] . In the Old Testament, in Exodus 33, Jesus is pictured as the Cleft Rock. In that chapter, verse 18 and following, Moses desired to see the glory of the Lord, but was told, "You cannot see My face; for there shall no man see My face and live.” And the Lord said, “There is a place by Me, and you shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by." Notice that as Moses stood upon the rock, the Lord hid him in the cleft. This wonderfully applies to us today! Believers are both standing on and hidden in Christ [COLOSSIANS 3:3 ] . We are both in and on the Rock. As life with its many bitter events presses upon us, ...

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s...

GLORY ALONE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

" Lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me." -Judges 7:2 [KJV] Thus the Lord reasoned with Gideon. He knows what is in man. He sees the pride of the human heart: how prone we all are to boast in an arm of flesh. The Lord is jealous of His own glory. Gideon’s army of two and thirty thousand, is brought down to three hundred. By this handful of men, and no more, did Gideon gain the victory of the Midianites. The Lord’s wisdom in this was, “Lest Israel should vaunt themselves, and say, Mine own hand hath saved me.”   But I have not transcribed the text right. There are two little words of great import, which I have omitted. Mind then, O Christian— against Me. Now remember, whenever thou dost boast of thy power, thy free-will, thy human goodness, thy works, ditties, conditions, and performances in order to be saved, thou art then, as it were, two and thirty thousand strong. Thou vauntest thyself against the Lord . Thou art gloryi...
