Incoming GOOD NEWS Report! 15 July, 2022 A.D.

 Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (15-17JUL22)

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- from our sins and from Hell:

Flee, Follow And Fight

“But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” (1 Tim. 6:11-12). Every believer, “O man of God” needs to pursue and practice these three instructions of grace given to us by the infinite wisdom of God, the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21).

1). “Flee these things,” this refers back to all that Paul had instructed
Timothy in this epistle. Flee everything that is contrary to the gospel of
Christ, especially those that consent not to the wholesome words and the
sound doctrine of Christ (1Tim.1:3,10; 4:1,6; 6:3). But also, flee that
spirit of covetousness, mercenary views of religion, worldly gain and wicked
resolution to be rich at any cost, “the love of money” (1Tim. 6:5, 10).
These things are unsuitable and detrimental to a believer seeking salvation
in Christ alone (Col. 3:1-3).

2). “Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness.” Make these the grand object of your pursuit (John 10:27-30;
12:26). These things are appropriate and suitable to the believer seeking
salvation in Christ (Matt. 6:33). All of these spiritual blessings are
purchased by Christ’s redeeming blood (Eph. 1:7) and freely given by His
sovereign grace (Rom. 8:32; 1Cor. 2:12) and are the fruit of the Holy Spirit
wrought within us (Gal. 5:22; Phil. 2:13; 2 Thes.2:13; Heb. 13:20-21).

3). “Fight the good fight of faith.” “Fight,” means to fervently strive
after. The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is worth fighting and
courageously standing in support of (Gal. 5:1; Phil. 1:27). Jude says that
we are to “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints”
(Jude 1:3). The life of faith is called a warfare (1Tim. 1:18; 2 Tim. 2:3-4).
We have many strong adversaries, the devil (1Peter 5:8), our own fleshly
nature (Rom. 7:23; Gal. 5:17), and enemies of the gospel (Luke 16:15; John
8:44). It is called a "good fight” because it is a good cause, the cause of
God and truth (John 8:32). The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but
spiritual (Eph. 6:13-16) and mighty to the pulling down of strongholds
(2Cor. 10:3-5). It is called the “fight of faith” in opposition to law (Gal.
2:16) and works as the ground of salvation (Heb. 11:6). The justified sinner
lives by faith in Christ (Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38). May God give us much grace to do so, “flee, follow and fight.”

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...
