LIFE APPLICATION TRUTH-SET APART FOR GOD

October 31st, 2012 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – from Exodus 29, verses 44 and 45.

The LORD said, “So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.”

To be consecrated is to be set apart by the LORD for a special service. In this case, the process of consecration involved sacrifices of a bull and two rams, and the shedding of their blood.

This has relevance for us, not in the sense that we need to sacrifice animals in order to serve God, but that we are consecrated to the LORD through the cross. That is where Jesus died for our sins. His blood has the power to purify us and prepare us for service.

Second Corinthians 5:15 tells us that Jesus died for all, “that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.” By God’s grace, we are set apart for a particular purpose to bring glory to His name in our acts of service.

Consecration is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.

LIFE APPLICATION TRUTH-THE VEIL

October 30th, 2012 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – From Second Corinthians 3:16.

“Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”

A veil is a piece of material that covers the face. In this context, it represents a barrier that keeps a person from seeing the Gospel. Verse 14 tells us that only in Christ is the veil taken away. Only in Christ do we have the permission to approach God’s throne of grace.

The lifting of the veil means that we have fresh new eyes for understanding the Bible. The Apostle Paul explained that whenever Moses was read, a veil covered the hearts of those who had not turned to Jesus for salvation. For the person who DID turn to the Lord, that was a different story. In the Old or New Testaments, we see the influence of Jesus. We learn how He fulfills the law and the prophets.  We also come to understand how He fulfills our lives with God’s spiritual blessings. Some of these benefits are found in this chapter, Second Corinthians Three, such as righteousness, freedom, and transformation into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

Turning to Jesus as Lord and Savior is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.

LIFE APPLICATION TRUTH-HOPE IN THE LORD

October 26th, 2012 1 comment

JOHN SHIRK – From Isaiah 40:30 and 31.

“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Here we see three benefits of God’s grace granted to those who put their hope in the Lord.

1)  He renews our strength. He gives us the energy and motivation for doing His will faithfully.

2)  He gives us forward momentum. As we walk with God, He guides us in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

3)  He helps us to overcome life’s challenges and difficulties. To soar on wings like eagles is a picture of rising above the obstacles on the ground. We can count on God to carry us through times of trial and overcome the hurdles that slow down our spiritual progress. Jesus said we would have trouble, but not without His presence.

Hope is an acknowledgment that life is not as glorious as it will be, but by God’s grace, we will go forward in God’s plan, accomplish what He called us to do, and reach the place He is preparing for us.

Hope in the Lord is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.
