TODAY’S STUDY

God’s Unconditional Love for Us Promises a Future of Glory

JOH 19:30

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

1PE 2:24

…and He Himself (the Lord Jesus Christ) bore our sins in His (own) body (in His true humanity) on the Cross, so that we might die to (the sovereignty of the) sin (nature) and (so that we might)

live to righteousness (within its sphere); for by His wounds you were healed.

1JO 4:8

The one who does not love (unconditionally) does not know God, for God is (unconditional) love.

ROM 4:5

But to the one who does not work (for salvation), but (instead) believes in Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as (absolute) righteousness…

ROM 4:7-8

“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.//BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT (ever again) TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.”

THE LORD’S SUPPER

Enjoying the Elements

1CO 11:23-24

For I (Paul) received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus (Christ) in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; //and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (and keeps on being) My body, which is (broken) for you; (keep on) do(ing) this in (the purpose of) remembrance of Me.”

1CO 11:25-26

In the same way He (the Lord Jesus Christ) took the cup (representing His death on the Cross) also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant (testament) in (the sphere of) My blood (in spiritual

and physical death); (keep on) do(ing) this, as often as you drink it, in (the purpose of) remembrance of Me.//For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”

BREAK

When I Think About Home

QUESTION FOR REFLECTION

Do you live in the sphere of God’s peace?

ROM 5:1

Therefore, having been justified by (means of) faith (by being legally declared by God to be in the sphere of God’s absolute righteousness in the (past), we (believers in Christ now) have peace (eirene) with God (the Father) through our Lord Jesus Christ…

QUESTION FOR REFLECTION

Do you live in the sphere of God’s grace?

ROM 5:2a

…(the Lord Jesus Christ) through whom also (additionally) we have obtained our introduction (direct access to God) by (means of our) faith (that we expressed in the past) into this (sphere of) grace in which we stand (right now)…

GRACE

A free gift given to all mankind by the Creator, expressed by His actions of extending mercy, loving-kindness, salvation, and divine assets to His Creatures… a dimension of divine thought in which God meets human indifference and rebellion with an inexhaustible capacity to forgive and to bless…a divine thought process that underlies God’s entire viewpoint of unconditional love for His Creatures.

QUESTION FOR REFLECTION

Do you live in the sphere of God’s glory?

ROM 5:2b

…and we exult (with inward confidence) in (the future) hope (the confident expectation) of the glory of God.

COL 3:4

When Christ, who IS our (Zoe) life (the resurrection life), is revealed, then you (believers in Christ) also will be revealed with Him in glory.

JOH 17:22

“The glory which You have given Me I (the Lord Jesus Christ) have given to them (Church Age Believers)…”

ROM 3:23

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…

COL 1:25

Of this church I (Paul) was made a minister according to the stewardship (dispensation) from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God…

COL 1:26

…that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested (made clearly visible) to His saints…

COL 1:27

…to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in(dwelling) you, the hope (the absolute confidence) of (your future) glory.

JOH 14:16

“I (the Lord Jesus Christ) will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (a Parakletos), that He (God the Holy Spirit) may be with you forever…”

PROCLAMATION

Because I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ alone at a single moment in time, I can look back at the Cross, and I can ACCEPT as an established and irrevocable fact that I AM at peace with God, fully forgiven; I can ACCEPT as an established and irrevocable fact that I HAVE a grace in which to stand and my mistakes will never again be counted against me; and I can ACCEPT as an established and irrevocable fact that I WILL live in glory at a future time, because I know the best is yet to come in my life.
