“ Summary, Part 2 (final) ” e. OPENLY AFFIRM BEFORE ALL MEN THAT YOU ARE A PILGRIM BOUND FOR GLORY [23:40]. Got is not ashamed of us, so why would we be ashamed of Him (cf. Mt 8:38)? Christ was sinless, but came to earth to identify with His people, even in baptism. Rom 1:16 – Paul’s pride in the gospel laid in its power to save souls. What is the cost of the world’s mockery when heaven is to gain? 1 Pet 2:11-12 – Our lives are testimonies no matter how we live them (cf. 1 Pet 3:14-15). Living openly for Christ is the only way to draw the lost to Him. 2. CONSIDER HOW DREADFUL THE CASE IS OF THOSE HEADED NOT TO HEAVEN, BUT TO HELL [39:56]. Everyone is a pilgrim headed for eternity. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. By looking to Him alone, our destination will be a happy one. Mt 7:13-14 – The time for Christian pilgrimage is now.

“ Summary, Part 1 ” We continue the concluding applications from last week with d. TRAVEL ON PILGRIMAGE WITH OTHER STRANGERS AND EXILES [starting at 7:00 of the audio]. God never intended for His people to travel alone. We are created in the image of the triune God, the members of who commune with each other. God is a social being, and thus so are we (Mt 20:28, Eph 5:25, Acts 20:28). Christ is not so much the savior of individuals as the redeemer of His Body. Baptism is an example of the communal nature of the faith, as is the Lord’s Table (1 Cor 10:16-17). 1 Cor 12:27 – The Bible assumes that its readers are church members. Church membership also has the function of safety (Ecc 4:9-12). Five dangers of isolated worship: the leaving of spiritual disciplines, inevitable backsliding, susceptibility to false doctrine, alienation from communal judgment, and hell (Pr 14:12, 21:16, 13:20, Ps 124:5-6).
