IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John
In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

Psalm 9 - Rejoicing In Salvation

Psalm 9 - Rejoicing In Salvation

Psalms 9 & 10 are often grouped in translation; Psalm 10 doesn't have a superscription. Faith is a matter of "walking without sight", but faith has knowledge. When we look at what God has said, we can focus our faith, ignore the circumstances and rejoice in His salvation. Commitment to praise (Psa 9:1-2). Worship is a choice (Rom 12:1, Deu 6:5). True witness is telling what the Lord has done for us personally (Mat 5:19). "will be glad and rejoice in you" shows double blessing (Psa 9:2, Luk 17:15). "God most High" - El Elion emphasizes God's omni attributes (Psa 8:1-4). The Cause (Psa 9:3-5). David recalls what God has done executing Justice - blessing to the believer and judgment to the unbeliever (Rom 3:26, Psa 110:1). We pray from the position of victory. The sword that divides (Psa 9:6-12, Mat 10:34). God's judgments are eternal, universal and final of the wicked (Psa 9:6-9). God is a refuge for he oppressed and the Deliverer (Psa 9:9-12, Heb 6:18). The cry of faith (Psa 9:13-20). David feels that he is at the gates of death, but that God will lift him. God's judgments are often in self-inflicted means; He catches the wicked in their snare (Psa 9:16). We are either doing His will and prevailing, or not (Psa 9:18-20). (1) We need to build our lives on the finished work of Christ and His word. (2) Our greatest witness is to proclaim what he has done for us. (3) We ought not think God has forgotten us. (4) A true understanding and gratitude of what He has done, starting with the cross, then what He has done for us, is the best impetus to worship.
