“And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
â€â€Luke‬ â€18:9-14‬Trusting in your own righteousness for salvation isn’t going to work. Even if you give thanks to God for not making you like all of the other sinners. One must be like the publican who humbly confessed he was a sinner and asked for mercy. It is the difference between looking to ourselves as fit for salvation or looking to Jesus who is our Savior. It’s not about us, it is all about Him. |

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
â€â€1 John‬ â€2:2‬Jesus is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. That means Jesus atoned for the sins of you, me, and all who are afar off. It is an all inclusive statement! Now why would God send His Son to become the propitiation for our sins? “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”
â€â€1 John‬ â€4:10‬ Seems like it is because He loved the whole world! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
â€â€John‬ â€3:16-17‬ Why...God does love the whole world! That’s why He sent His Son! God doesn’t want the world to be condemned as they are, but to have their sins propitiated by Jesus through our faith. “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”
â€â€Romans‬ â€3:25‬ |

“Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!”
â€â€Matthew‬ â€18:7‬God takes no pleasure in the wickedness of others, the offenses against Him distress Him! “And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.”
â€â€1 Peter‬ â€2:8‬ Who are they? The disobedient.
What are they appointed for? To stumble at the word. However, that doesn’t mean one cannot be obedient as to not stumble. “But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:”
â€â€Romans‬ â€16:26‬ Scripture is preached to bring about a desire in people to become obedient to the faith. |

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
â€â€James‬ â€1:13-15‬Judas sinned because of his own lust, it’s not God’s fault and God would have rather Judas had turned from his sin and lived. “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?”
â€â€Ezekiel‬ â€18:23‬ “For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.”
â€â€Psalms‬ â€5:4‬ God was not happy with Judas’ sin. |

Joel...The Bible doesn’t teach it for starters! TD - We are accept or reject the gospel message. We are accountable for our actions. UE - Elction is conditional. If you repent and believe, you will be saved. Faith is the condition. LA - Jesus was sent for the whole world that whoever believes may be saved. Jesus is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. IG - Many people in scripture resist God’s grace. It is for us to decide who we will serve. Therefore, choose life. PS - One out of five is a bad batting average, but this one is correct. |
