The Gospel According to David

 Rocky Mountain Bible Conference

May 27–29, 2016

In Psalm 32 David declares, “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity.” Paul uses this quote in Rom 4:7–8 to support three great truths of the Gospel:
(1) Justification is by faith in Christ alone;
(2) God imputes His righteousness to those who believe the Gospel; and
(3) This righteous standing before God is apart from works of any kind.

The Use of Time

Filling of the Spirit is a cooperation between the Spirit and the believer: "living in the light of Christ" (Eph 5:14); "having fellowship" (Eph 5:11); "fruit of the Spirit" (Eph 5:9); "walking in the light" (Eph 5:8); "walking in love" (Eph 5:2); "imitating God" (Eph 5:1); Confessing sin is part of "do not grieve the Spirit" (Eph 4:30, Eph 5:11). (1) The value of time is found in it's purpose (Victor Frankel "Man's search for Meaning"). (2) Life without aim is wasted time. (3) God's will is the only true aim of life. (4) Wisdom — knowing what matters — is the will of God accomplished in life (Ecc 3:1-14). Persecution caused dispersion of Jews in Jerusalem (Jam 1:1-5). There is nothing that happens without God letting it happen. Wisdom is realizing life could be over tomorrow (Jam 4:13-17). There are two rests: salvation and discipleship (Mat 11:28-30). The rest Jesus gives is not passive, but vital energized activity. Once the decision is made you have peace.
