Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV
Romans 10:9 ‘…that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…’ AKJV
Jesus, I ask for that person reading this lesson this morning, maybe for the first time this individual is desiring to be standing in front of you, wanting to HEAR Your Message. Allow me Jesus to be Your voice to speak the words You want for those ears to hear. I love You Jesus. Use me, to spread Your Message so Your truth can be heard.
The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:
Acts 7:59-60, 9:15; Romans 11:11; 2 Timothy 2:15.
I ‘ve recently experienced a form of censorship, that I must admit has been confronted head on.
I have found myself back online posting my Bible lesson that’s available to the reader.
This Bible study, as well as any study of God’s Word, involves the reader to open their own Bibles and read what words God has inspired to be written for us to read.
Jesus will allow my voice to be used the way He sees fit … I am always going to FOLLOW Jesus’ choice.
So, this begins the format in this morning’s lesson.
Jesus predicted that it was His death and His blood that was being shed for the forgiveness of our sins.
The point that frustrates me the most is Jesus tells us this, before His death. Jesus tells us this before His blood was shed.
Up to this point when Jesus is telling us these things, He is still alive and walking in His earthly ministry.
There are so many churches that celebrate, remember and teach Jesus’ life, when it was actually His death that was supposed to save them. There are many that won’t allow Jesus’ blood to be shed so they can be forgiven.
What am I trying to show?
I’m not trying to be morbid or anything like that, but there are so many that believe and follow the teachings of Jesus, before He even died.
In essence, they are putting the cart before the horse.
Each one of us MUST open our own Bible and read the Word of God for ourselves so we can understand what God is trying to show us.
Jesus came to this earth to fulfil Old Testament prophecy and promises that were made to the forefathers of the Jewish people, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Religion’s teach us that our Bibles today are separated into the Old and the New Testament.
The New Testament or the New Covenant, is the promise given to ALL mankind, for the forgiveness of their sins, and that forgiveness didn’t happen until after Jesus was killed, it was His Blood.
The New Testament, according to biblical history doesn’t happen in our Bibles until there was a major change in how this earth believed in God.
And God made that change obvious beginning when the Jews had Jesus killed on the cross.
The change is even more evident and comes to a head after the Jews stoned Stephen to death in Acts chapter 7.
Acts 7
vs59 ‘…And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit…’
vs60 ‘…And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep…’ AKJV
God from His throne in heaven, looked down on His Chosen people, and He determined it was time for a pivotable change in His approach to save mankind.
God, at that moment recorded in Acts, from way back since Genesis 12, God decided His Chosen people should not be the only people chosen to be saved.
Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
God decided the Gentiles deserved to also be saved.
A Gentile is anyone that was not Jewish.
God never said you Gentiles, replace yourselves with the Jewish people and I will offer you the same promises that I made to them.
God never told us Gentiles we needed to keep the Mosaic Law and practice the same Jewish culture as the Jews valued among themselves.
In fact, God offered this GIFT to the Gentiles, just to make His Chosen people, the Jews jealous.
Romans 11:11 ‘…I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy…’ AKJV
We are warned in the Word of God that it is up to us to rightly divide the Bible.
2 Timothy 2:15 ‘…Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…’ NKJV
God gave each one of us, HIS WRITTEN WORD so we could HEAR what God wants from us.
Too many have taken the easy way out and decided to go sit in a building for an hour on Sunday and listen to a man tell us what he believes has been written for us.
OPEN YOUR BIBLES AND READ THE WORDS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.
Your pastor, your priest, your church that you might visit or its denomination, and in fact, even I am unable to SAVE you from Everlasting torment and destruction.
The ONLY One that is able to SAVE you is God Himself.
READ and trust in the WORD that He wants for us to HEAR.
Our lessons have gotten shorter, I know.
Over my many years of teaching, I know my message has changed also, this is what we get by continuously studying the Word that God gave to us and not focusing primarily on what a human being tells us to read or what they read to us, or what they’ve written themselves on what they interpret in the Word.
But I also know this, that God’s Message, His WORD has never and will never change.
Read your Bible and HEAR God’s Message that has been written for you.
READ IT FOR YOURSELVES.
I love y’all. I’ll be back next Wednesday with another message.
