This study on Biblical Chivalry was presented at the April 2010 BTBM Conference held in Phoenix, Arizona. Gene teaches how we need—in these dark and perilous days—to awaken from our spiritual slumber, to break free of the shackles of earthly pursuits and possessions, and answer the timeless call into the fellowship of knights-in-training!Gene Cunningham - June 9, 2003
Ephesians #10
Eph 2:8-10 Salvation is deliverance. We need daily deliverance (Jam 1:21, Rom 7:24) "the word is able to save your souls". Salvation is entirely initiated by God "by Grace" (Eph 1:4, Eph 2:8). "By Grace you have been saved...". Mercy paves the way for Grace. GRACE = "God's Riches At Christ's Expense". "... through faith..." Salvation is secured through Jesus Christ. He took the hostility for us (1Jo 3:8, Heb 2:9, 2Co 5:21). A spiritual transition took place at salvation (1Col 1:12-13, Co1 15:22, Joh 3:7). Salvation (righteousness) is given by God and received (peace) by faith (Psa 85:9-13, Joh 1:10). Salvation is a free gift "...and that not of yourself; it is a gift of God..." (Rom 6:23, Rom 3:24, Joh 1:12, Jam 1:17). "...not of works, lest any one should boast" means there's nothing we can do to earn it (Rom 4:5). Salvation empowers us to do good works (Eph 1:10). We are God's masterpiece;"...created in Christ Jesus..." (Tit 3:5, Mat 19:28, 2Co 5:17). God's goal having created us is good works (not things we do -- things God does). Walking means walk of dependence (Rom 8:4, Gal 5:16), by faith (2Co 5:7), in good works (Eph 2:10), walking worthy (Eph 4:1), and in the sphere of love (Eph 5:1), as children of light (Eph 5:8), and in wisdom (Eph 5:15-18).
