Hell. I praise God for such an evangelistic preaching which speaks about sin, hell, eternal torments, separation from God. People must know the truth God revealed.
Growing. Yes, Christian love is connected with a growth in the knowledge of the Scriptures and of God. Growth in spiritual knowledge will bring a growth of love.
Process of teaching. The disciples were taught by Christ. He gave them light, but they still were somewhat confused. They understood things gradually. This is consolation for us: we are understanding things gradually, so we must not be discouraged (greatly...?) when we see how little we know about the things of God!
Our poor love for God. We have many things to object in the life of Francis of Assisi, but it was said about him that he was a troubadour of God singing serenades to Him. I wonder if something like this can be said about us?
Great responsibility. A message about every pastor’s responsibility to present his flock blameless and mature in faith in the Day of Christ. Every pastor must serve his flock and pray for it in view of the Day of Christ, and must teach his people to look to life from this perspective. And all this for the glory of God.
Powerful grace. God’s grace is working in us to bring us to Christ and to persevere in faith, increasing in holiness, for His glory. Verse 6 denies the teachings of Arminianism, Perfectionism and easy-believism.
Illumination. The right answer to this question, which is the basis of our entire life, can be given only by being illuminated by the Father, to see who really Christ is.
Most blessed sermon. This was a really blessed message to my soul. The spiritually blind man cannot see the Savior, until the Holy Spirit open his eyes and regenerates him. The spiritually blind man cannot see whwere he is going, what is the danger in which the sin brings him and the hell to which he is going. But Christ can open his eyes and can save him.
Good explanation. Very good explanation of what it means to have fellowship in the Gospel, that it does not mean socialization, but fellowship with God and with the children of God, in the things of God, referring to what we have in Christ and what we do serving the Lord.
Great Sermon! Matthew does teach eternal punishment (v.46), but the whole of the verses refer to the spiritual nature of Christendom, of those in it, both sheep, true believers, goats, hypocrites.

Great Sermon! Well, if anyone wishes to follow the Corintheans, and to seek to justify their babbling, then let them continue to do so, and be judged of God, for drunkeness, lewdness, heresies, and the like, were all present amongst the Corintheans. Glibbly do the Charismatics exalt the Corintheans for their speaking in tongues, whilst overlooking the fact that they were under judgment, and that what they spoke, as in Acts, was an actual language, not present day babble.
