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 18 -- Jesus is God's Deliverer

Psalm 18 -- Jesus is God's Deliverer

God moves heaven and earth; it groans waiting for the Kingdom -- the 2nd advent of Jesus Christ (Psa 18:7-15, Rom 8:19-23). When sin is judged and it's reign over creation, the creation will rejoice (Psa 98:8-9, Isa 55:12, 1Ch 16:33). David expresses praise for God's deliverance; it applies to delivering power to Christ on the cross (Psa 18:16-19). Abundant resources are available to the church age believer are the same Jesus Christ had - resurrection power (Eph 1:16-23, Rom 6:4). The way God deals with David is because of the way David dealt with God (Psa 18:20-24). God rewards faith and obedience - "because of the cleanness of my hands.". Righteous is imputed before imparted. David turned from his sin (Psa 18:23, Heb 12:1). Walking in the word and Spirit is necessary to avoid entangling sins; Restoration to fellowship upon failures (Gal 5:16, 1Jo 1:7, 1Jo 1:9, Psa 51:1-19); God rewards this faithfulness (1Pe 3:8-12). God's Justice exposes man's soul - mercy, righteousness, deception, shrewdness (Psa 18:25-27, Mat 5:7) God is gracious to the humble but brings down the arrogant (Jam 3:12, Jam 4:6, 1Pe 5:6). God provides illumination, enablement, deliverance (Psa 18:28-30, Mat 5:16, Joh 8:12). David is vindicated by his own testimony (1Sa 26:23), by God's testimony (1Ki 14:8), and by the record of history (1Ki 11:4).
