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 17

Isa 53:1-12 Jesus was constantly rejected. His call was going to the cross. In the three hours of judgment Jesus felt the judgment of all our sins. "the mercies of God" (Rom 12:1). Right relationship with self (Gal 5:1) the law of liberty -- not a slave to sin. Everything God provides is free and clear. Law of love (1Co 8:1) all things are lawful, but not always proper -- considering other people. Law of profitability (1Co 10:23) - we have to profit others. Don't be a factor in other people's downfall. How is our lives going to effect unbelivers around us? Law of supreme sacrifice is like the New Testament version of the (Num 6:1-21, 1Co 9:1-27, Phi 1:21, 1Co 11:14, 1Co 15:10). "...for me to live in Christ..". We receive justification in that we've been declared righteous (Rom 3:21-26). We've been redeemed -- have a right relation to sin. We are acceptable to God (propitiated - Rom 3:25). Expiation is the removal of the debt -- death (Col 2:14). We've been reconciled to God -- a right relation to God (Rom 5:10-11).

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.
