The Gospel Conference Series


The Gospel According to Noah

Uniontown, PA Bible Conference

October 28-30,  2016

 

This conference was held October 28-30, 2016 in Western Pennsylvania. The Abundant Life Church and Gene Cunningham presented “The Gospel According to Noah. ” Hebrews 11:6-7 says “But without faith [it is] impossible to please [Him], for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and [that] He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

Galatians 4

Galatians 4

Promises to Abraham through his "Seed": (1) depends upon Jesus Christ; (2) In Christ is rich inheritence (Heb 1:1-4). By the scope of Jesus Christ's work in His earthly life, He inherited all things (Heb 1:3-4). We also have an inheritence (Heb 1:14). We have to become one of the "just" to then "live by faith". We don't become an heir until we become a believer. Obedience is the criteria for reward (aka Noah, Heb 11:1, Heb 11:6-16). In scripture, the word "saved" does not always refer to initial justification by faith, but deliverance in time. The purpose of the law is to convince us of our sinfulness and to drive us to Christ not righteousness (Mat 26:39, Gal 3:21-25). "We" refers to Jewish believers in Paul's time (Gal 3:23-25). "You [Gentiles] are sons of God by faith in Christ" and baptized into Christ's death, burial and resurrection (Gal 3:26-27). Union with Him makes our salvation complete (1Co 12:13): (1) Death — penalty of sin is broken, (2) Burial — power of sin is broken, (3) Resurrection — the practice of sin is broken. Roman ceremony of becoming adopted as a full-grown son (i.e., "toga virilus") was in Paul's mind in the "put on Christ" imagery (Gal 2:27). Christ is the Robe of Righteousness believers wear. God has no elite children (Gal 3:28-29). Will there be any stars in your crown? Will you even have a crown? Christ the seed (Gen 3:15, Gen 12-28, Gen 49:10, 2Sa 7:12, Isa 7:14, Mat 1:23). Chapter 4 "Elements of the World" (Gal 4:3): Creation, Conscience, and the Law (Rom 2:14-15). Righteous requirement of the law: apenalty, and a blessing. We are adopted sons (Gal 4:5-6, Rom 8:9-11), and because of that heirs (Gal 4:7). All believers have a base inheritence (Tit 3:7, 1Pe 1:4-5). Above the basic inheritence — "heirs of God", there is opportunity for more — "joint heirs with Christ" (Rom 8:14-17, 2Ti 4:3, 2Ti 2:10).
