What has God done for ME?
Today is my birthday!
(May 6) What has God done for me?
Not much!!
For God so loved me, that he gave his only Son for me, so that if I believe in him, I should not perish but I would have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son to me to condemn me, but in order that I might be saved through him.
ESV
But He DIDN’T do that for ME - He loved WORLD so the WORLD might live; sent Son to WORLD so that the WORLD wouldn’t be condemned
How do we understand Eph 2:6?
and He raised ME up with him and seated ME with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:8
“You” is PLURAL
Focus on ME <-- idea in 80s – substitute MY name; By grace DAVID has been saved.
God has a job for DAVID.
God raised DAVID up to heavenly places.
Scott Wilson - “I’m going to be a history maker” - arrogant presumption?
God DOES have a job for me - that’s true, but in context of BODY – multiple believers, not individuals.
E.g. chorus list – “I…”
--
Eph 4
About the BODY being built up.
Yes – I may be called to ministry – but for the BODY to benefit.
Other areas of service - , – individually gifted for function in the BODY
Abraham – called as individual, but not called just for his benefit - it was for ALL the families and nations of the world.
Oswald Chambers - several quotations
Is he going to help Himself to us, or are we taken up with our conception of what we are going to be?
Valid to talk of our own experience - Paul did often - but only to show how Jesus was using him to build up body and equip us - the body of Christ - to reach world.
It is a travesty to say that Jesus Christ travailed in Redemption to make me a saint.
Jesus Christ travailed in Redemption to redeem the whole world, and place it unimpaired and rehabilitated before the throne of God.
Paul alludes to personal experience by way of illustration, never as the end of the matter.
We are nowhere commissioned to preach salvation or sanctification; we are commissioned to lift up Jesus Christ (John 12:32).
It is a travesty to say that Jesus Christ travailed in Redemption to make me a saint.
Jesus Christ travailed in Redemption to redeem the whole world,
We are not here to develop a spiritual life of our own, or to enjoy spiritual retirement; we are here so to realize Jesus Christ that the Body of Christ may be built up.
Am I building up the Body of Christ, or am I looking for my own personal development only?
Challenge - to all in kingdom of God.
Peter specially called as apostle - included “strengthen your brothers”.
Members of Corinthian congregation - “do all things to build each other up.”
For OUR sake - so in Him WE might be something to glorify God.
No suggestion of what He did for ME - what I might become.
Many exhortations in gospels and epistles in context of body of believers - the whole kingdom of God, not my little corner of it.
Purpose of Jesus dying wasn’t to save ME but to redeem WORLD.
Now that I am child of God -
purpose of Him working in my life isn’t about ME - it’s about US.
