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.

Sanctification 4

Romans 8  - Sanctification - Tecumseh Kansas 2009

Faith is obedient (Rom 1:5). The gospel of Christ is good news about Him, a person (Rom 1:16). Communion produces conformity — we become more like Christ when we spend time with Him. Faith is the ultimate simplicity; we cannot do anything (Rom 1:17). The mystery is "Christ in us, the hope of glory" — we are indwelt by the person of Jesus Christ (Col 1:26-27). We received the Lord by faith (Col 2:6). Four different words for freedom (): (1) "done away with" — the power of the old sin nature has been broken (Rom 6:6). (2) We've been delivered from the law (Rom 7:6); (3) we've been "freed from sin" — we've been justified and declared righteous, forgiven of sin (Rom 6:7). "Who will save me from this body of sin and death"  (Rom 7:24) — we need to be delivered from trying to do things under our own power, but lean on the Spirit. (4) We are "set free from the Law of Sin and Death" — We are free to live the Christian life by resting on the Spirit who produces it — Christ in us (Rom 8:2, Rom 8:21). We need the determination to live free. Our rights comes from our creator. Our body is dead, but we are alive. As we go from "faith to faith" (Rom 1:17) and "strength to strength" (Psa 84:7), we are transformed from "glory to glory" (2Co 3:18).
