And now the answer to the LLM Question of 2-26-2011

Question: More than 95 percent of Christians, will not let God do for them and with them that which He desires. True or False?

Answer; TRUE! Therefore, Today let us consider, Squandered Grace and Unused Power

When we learn in Romans 5:20 and 2 Cor. 9:8 and Ephesians 2:8-10 and 2 Timothy 1:9-10 and Titus 2:11-14, that God’s all sufficient, more abounding Grace is altogether adequate for all the sins and all the sinners in this world, and equally adequate for every need, every task, every test, every affliction (2 Cor. 12:9), for every problem, every trial of every Christian, we can truly say that so far as eighty percent of the unsaved people on this earth are concerned, God’s Grace is wasted.

Millions of church-members, including many saved church members, do not believe 2 Timothy 1:9, “God, Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and Grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” This gift of God’s Grace included the gift of God’s Son; so that God might be just and merciful and freely justify any kind of a believing sinner. (Romans 3:24-28, Titus 3:5-7).

More than ninety five percent of God’s people, called Christians, will not let God do for them and with them that which He desires to work in them to will and to do of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-14). But hear God’s Word to Christians, “I beseech you that ye receive NOT the Grace of God in VAIN!” (2 Corinthians 6:1). The Apostle Paul wrote the Corinthians that God did not bestow His Grace upon him in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Then hear of God’s mighty power for members of the Body of Christ. God is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20), and, “what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ when He raised Christ from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenlies far above.” (Ephesians 1:19-23). Now, consider this, So far as more than 90% of Christians are concerned, much of this power is NOT appropriated.

“Now the God of hope fill you with joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13).

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” Acts 16:31

Note this message to Christians, “ye were sometimes darkness; but now light in the LORD: walk as the children of light.” (Ephesians 5:8). Christians are not in the light because they work or walk; but because they are in the LORD. Because they are in the light and in the LORD, they should walk and behave as children of light.

The all‑important word, in becoming a Christian, or in living the Christian life is ‘LET’. Let God save you in His way. Then let God use you to His glory. God says to Christians, “ye are not your own. Ye are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

Let us see how Christians get into the LORD and in the light, “Giving thanks unto the Father, Who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:12-14).

Some most important and needful instructions are given to Christians in 1 Peter 2:9-12 for Christian living and behavior, “that ye should show forth the praises of Him Who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light”, “that they (sinners) by your good works, which they shall behold, may glorify God in the day of visitation.” Another servant of the LORD, James, said, “I will show you my Faith by my works.” (James 2:18).

The LORD tells Christians that they are an epistle of Christ, known and read of all men. (2 Corinthians 3:2-3). In the next chapter, 2 Corinthians 4:6-7, we read concerning Christians, “God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness (Genesis 1:3), hath shined in our hearts, to give the ‘LIGHT’ of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6). This verse takes us back to the words of Christ when He was here on earth, “Ye are the light of the world.” “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16).

The LORD Jesus Christ called Himself the ‘LIGHT’ of the world; and said that His followers would have in them the light of life. (John 8:12). Concerning Christ, we read in 1 Timothy 6:16, “Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light, which no man can approach unto, to Whom be honour and power everlasting.” Similar truth is recorded in John 1:4-5 and John 1:9: “in Him (Christ) was life: and the life was the light of men, And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness comprehended it not.” “That was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” Then note the wonderful statement that follows, in John 1:10, ”Christ was in the world, and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not.” Then John 1:29, Christ is the Lamb of God Who beareth away the sin of the world.

In Revelation 4:10-11 we read why God’s servants in heaven say to Christ, “Thou art worthy, O LORD, to receive glory and honour and power.” Why? “For Thou halt created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” This confirms Colossians 1:17-19 and John 1:1-10 and Hebrews 1:1-4. Then in Revelation 5:9-14 we read why God’s servants in heaven say to Christ, “Thou art worthy”, “Worthy is the Lamb That was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Why? “For Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God ‘BY THY BLOOD’ out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”

Thus we learn that the LORD Jesus Christ is to be praised, worshipped and honoured both as Creator and Redeemer. This is a VERY important point! Note this expression of praise in the first part of Revelation, “Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins ‘IN HIS OWN BLOOD’.” (Revelation 1:5). Christ said to John; “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come.” (Revelation 1:8). “I am He that liveth, and was dead, I am alive forever more, and have the keys of hades and death.” (Revelation 1:18). This vision of the LORD Jesus Christ found here in Revelation 1 is congruent to Daniel’s vision of the ancient of Days found in Daniel 7.
