Sermons on 1 John (Page 2)
What Are You Washing With?
God has provided two instruments for victory over the flesh: the blood of Jesus and the fire of the Holy Spirit. The blood and fire cleanse us, yet our human nature wants to default to cleansing itself by religious works and doctrines of men.
Getting Rid of Precious
The Gospel of the Kingdom means that Jesus is the King. If He is the King, then he must be obeyed, even when obedience to Him is costly to our flesh man (“precious”). Every Christian must choose whether to obey the King or obey “precious”. God is looking for people who love Him more than the world, more than their emotions, more than their own will.
Love Deeper Than Personal Gain
The story of Ruth is an example to us of the true form of love that God desires to see in His church.
Instruments of Power
The church is the instrument God has chosen to accomplish His work on the earth. Ordinary men and women can be God’s instruments if they are willing to deny the flesh and diligently seek Him in prayer.
