The Gospel According to Isaiah

“The Evangelist of the Old Testament
Anticipates the Coming of the Savior”
Northern Virginia Bible Conference
April 1-3, 2016
 
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” ISA 61:1
Many scholars consider Isaiah to be the evangelist of the Old Testament. This year, the theme for the Northern Virginia BTBM Bible Conference was “The Gospel According to Isaiah.” Gene examined Isaiah’s rich prophecies given in the eighth century before the birth of Christ. There is an astounding array of passages that portray the virgin birth, the unique hypostatic union of God and man, the proclamation of John the Baptizer, and then the life of Jesus—His ministry and substitutionary death, followed by His resurrection and future glory.There are even find hints of the call and formation of the Church—the Body of Christ—and our own purpose in the story of the ages.
Jesus read the theme verse in the Synagogue in Nazareth (LUK 4:16-19) at the inauguration of His ministry.

The Transforming Power of Grace 7

The Transforming Power of Grace 7

"adorn the word of God" (Tit 2:9). Is our life presentable to God? Humility and brokenness is the only way we advance in the plan of God (Tit 3:1-4). We've been saved for good works (Tit 3:5-8). Justification by faith vs. works: Jam 2:14. Not one of the five occurrences of the word "save" in the book of James refers to eternal deliverance from the lake of fire. We lack wisdom (Jam 1:4-5). Blessed are we when we endure temptation (Jam 2:12).  Implanted word can save our soul (Jam 2:18, Jam 2:21). Life is full of various (multi-colored) trials. When we stand in His presence, we'll be approved if we pass through the trial if we "count it all joy." He collects our tears (Psa 56:8). James wants us to be delivered through trials to glorify God. Dead faith isn't visible (Jam 2:14-24). Abraham was justified by works before men (Rom 4:1-5). Our faith is like our body, our living body has to breath to stay alive. The spirit is breath.
