‘Keep Free.’
2 Peter 2:20-22.
a)
2 Peter 2:20. These people escape the
defilements and pollutions of the World system through the knowledge of the
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. They:-
1- Get entangled again.
2-Are overcome.
3- Have a latter end that is worse than the beginning.
b)
2 Peter 2:21. It would be better for them not
to have known the Way of Righteousness, than having known it and then turning
away from the Holy Commandment that was handed down to them.
c)
2 Peter 2:22. It has happened to them
according to the true Proverb: That a dog returns to its own vomit and the sow,
having been washed, returns to the mire.
(This QT is a good reminder to me to Keep Free)
‘Unbelief Is Sometimes From God.’
John 12:39-40.
a) There was a reason that they could not believe.
b)
Isaiah the Prophet explains the reason.
c)
God had blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.
d)
So that they could not:-
1-
See with
their eyes.
2-
Understand
with their heart.
3-
Be
converted.
4-
Be healed.
(Through this Second one I understand that Unbelief Is
Sometimes From God)
Chris.
In the World system they have a saying: ‘seeing is
believing’. This is actually an anti-faith saying. If we are well sighted
people then we surely have much to thank God for with our good eye sight. Faith
does not come from seeing though, it comes from receiving the Words of God.
