The Gospel According to Abraham
Arizona Bible Conference
September 2–4, 2016
In the future, we will also study “The Gospel According to Noah” (Uniontown October 2016) and then “The Gospel According to Moses” (No. Virginia Spring 2017). The combined weight of these studies should greatly strengthen our faith in the unity and harmony of the Scriptures and, at the same time, motivate us to “imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises,” Heb 6:12.

Simplicity in Christ #5
Psa 103:1-14 There are great benefits to having God as Father. Simplicity refers to purity and single-mindedness (Phi 3:13). Faith is the key to simplifying life. Whatever is apart from faith is sin (Rom 14:23). Prayer is a wonderful provision for helping simplify life. Luk 15:11-21 illustrates God's attitude who forgives sin. We need to confess our sin in order to "walk uprightly" (1Pe 3:1, Psa 80:11). People were drawn to Jesus; He was not judgmental nor self righteous (Luk 15:1-11). At the bottom, "no man gave him anything" (Luk 15:16). There's no Grace without God. The prodigal son wasted his resources on wasteful living (Luk 15:13). Lost ground takes time to recover. Groveling is not the answer, but faith and acceptance of God's forgiveness (Luk 15:19-22). The waits to be gracious (Isa 30:18, Jer 31:34). He's waiting on us to get rid of distractions from Him. Culturally, it was shameful to run (Luk 15:20), but it shows God's attitude of graciousness when forgiving His children. God is in a hurry to forgive us (Heb 4:15-16). Sadly the prodigal's brother did not want him to return (Luk 15:25); much less be forgiven (Heb 10:17). Isa 53:1-12 says the Lord not only paid the penalty for our sin, but He also bore our shame, sorrow, and guilt. The Father protects His children; we have nothing to fear (Mat 10:24-31); the Father has the hairs of our head numbered. The cross is the doorway home through resurrection (Joh 17:1-5). A life free of fear, shame, and death is simple.
