“Teaching My Children the Gospel”
A.
The Gospel Doctrines
1.
Teach them about God’s Holiness
The fear of the LORD /is/ the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do /His commandments/ (Psalms 111:10 NKJV)
1.
This is not speaking of a craven fear.
2.
Rather, it is a devout, reverential fear of offending God’s holiness, based on a true understanding of God as One who is /“of purer eyes than to behold evil and [One who] cannot look on wickedness” (Habakkuk 1:13)/
God is utterly holy, and His law therefore demands Perfect Holiness.
`For I /am/ the LORD your God.
You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I /am/ holy.
Neither shall you defile yourselves… You shall therefore be holy, for I /am/ holy.
(Leviticus 11:44-45 NKJV)
But Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve the LORD, for He /is/ a holy God.
He /is/ a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
(Joshua 24:19 NKJV)
"No one is holy like the LORD, For /there is/ none besides You, Nor /is there/ any rock like our God.
(1 Samuel 2:2 NKJV)
"Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? (1 Samuel 6:20 NKJV)
The LORD /is/ in His holy temple, The LORD'S throne /is/ in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
The LORD tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind /Shall be/ the portion of their cup.
For the LORD /is/ righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.
(Psalms 11:4-7 NKJV)
Pursue peace with all /people/, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: (Hebrews 12:14 NKJV)
Because He is Holy, God Hates Sin
You shall not bow down to them nor serve them.
For I, the LORD your God, /am/ a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth /generations/ of those who hate Me, (Exodus 20:5 NKJV)
For You /are/ not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.
(Psalms 5:4 NKJV)
God /is/ a just judge, And God is angry /with the wicked/ every day.
(Psalms 7:11 NKJV)
Sinners Cannot Stand Before Him
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
(Psalms 1:5 NKJV)
The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.
(Psalms 5:5 NKJV)
Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.
(Psalms 24:3-4 NKJV)
2.
Show Them their Sin
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
(Exodus 20:12 NKJV)
When Jesus heard /it/, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
I did not come to call /the/ righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Mark 2:17 NKJV)
1.
Be sure to teach Ronnie & Brittany from the youngest of age that misbehavior is not merely an offense against Mom & Dad; its also a sin against a holy God, who demands children obey their parents
2. Help educate my children’s conscience that they view their own misbehavior as a sin for which they will eventually answer to God.
3. Their sin is not merely misconduct against their parents.
4. Instruct them tenderly and help them view their own fallenness from God’s perspective.
5.
They need to appreciate why they are drawn to sin, and ultimately they must sense their own need of redemption.
a) /Do not be afraid to teach them what God’s law demands./
1. Sinners cannot be justified by the works of the law (Gal.2:16)
2. The law reveals our sin (Romans 3:20; 7:7) & shows the real nature of sin for what it is (7:7).
3. The law is a tutor to lead us to Christ (Galatians 3:24)
4. It is the chief means God uses to make sinners see their helplessness.
5. The law & its righteous demands marked the starting point of the apostle Paul’s systematic gospel presentation (Rom.1:16-3:20)
6.
The laws moral standards give us the necessary foundation for understanding what sin is.
Sin is a Violation of God’s Law
Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
(1 John 3:4 NKJV)
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not /leading/ to death.
(1 John 5:17 NKJV)
What shall we say then?
/Is/ the law sin?
Certainly not!
On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law.
For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."
