The Word Became Flesh Bible Conference was held in Buchanan Dam, Texas November 28–30, 2014.

 

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” Joh 1:1, Joh 1:14

Gene says, “It is my earnest prayer that this study will bring each of us to “behold His glory,” and be enraptured by the “beauty of holiness” seen only in Him. He presents such a captivating image that even the smallest seed of faith will be blessed by the process of inner transformation into His likeness. The book of Hebrews captures the thing we lack so much in our hustle-and-bustle lives.”

“But we see Jesus [Heb 2:9] … Therefore, holy brethren … consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession,
Jesus Christ [Heb 3:1] … looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher [perfector, NASB] of our faith …” Heb 12:2
He continues, “May God grant that each of us be delivered from the distractions of our time, to look upon His face, to behold His glory, and to be changed into His image!”

Living Sacrifice 07

Believer in Christ is illustrated by Noah and his family in the Ark (1Pe 3:20). Positional truth (Rom 5:1-2, Rom 6:5) is based on a finished work (Joh 19:30) "having been justified". 4 points on the cross: (Left) "Past" redemption; (Top) Propitiation -- God is statisfied; (Right) "Future" Reconciliation (Rom 5:6-8); (Bottom) Believer -- Justified (Rom 5:12). "we have peace" This possession, our "peace with God" relates to our standing (Eph 1:6, Rom 8:1). "because of our Lord Jesus Christ". The greatest gift the King can give is being in presence (Heb 10:10-14), "by Him we have access by faith into this Grace wherein we stand" (Eph 2:18, Eph 3:12, Heb 4:4, Heb 4:16).

From Series: "Living Sacrifice (1995)"

Romans 12 and specifically Rom 12:1-2 is a pivot point between the doctrinal section and application of the book. This series methodically uses this passage to outline aspects or doctrines of the christian life -- God's provision and our prospect. Our lives can be acceptable to God if we progress on the path He intends. Living Sacrifice presents 12 doctrines: (1) redeeming time; (2) standing (positional truth); (3) self-presentation - availability; (4) approval; (5) service; (6) provision; (7) spiritual warfare; (8) conformity; (9) spiritual advance; (10) renewal; (11) divine guidance; (12) abundant life.
