Preached 07/08/2024, Oloitoktok, Kenya Text: Genesis 39
Other titles: 1. Who made you pregnant?
1. 2 messages were preached from the Old Testament on this day: Jacob and Esau and then Judah and Tamar.
2. And we continued with our gospel themes of what makes a sinner righteous before God.
3. How a sinner is made or declared to be righteous by or before God is the whole matter for which Christ was revealed.
4. And God had been laboring to teach the simplicity and truth of this matter from the Old Testament stories.
5. And in the story of Judah and Tamar, a seemingly EARTHY STORY that is embarrassing to many by reason of their own sense of righteousness, God was declaring the story and manner of our redemption (justification).
6. The story answers many things that a sinner is faced with (fruitfulness towards God and their justification), but in a very straight forward way and yet hidden from the wise and the prudent.
7. How did Tamar escape the condemnation of her father-in-law, Judah? If we can answer that from the story, then we have answered our own problems before God, because that was God's way of salvation. I will say it again, conditionalism is rife in much of what passes for sovereign grace gospel.
8. But God will only recognize such things for salvation as He gave, not what we bring to Him, our faith or works of obedience.
9. Listen carefully and this will be a blessing and IT IS FREE!
