Disciples Continue In the Word of God.
Disciples want to be like the one they follow.
We tend to follow people we want to be like.
I remember as a kid I wanted to be like Ozzie Smith.
He was a shortstop with the San Diego Padres and St. Lois Cardinals.
He was short like me, but he was quick with the ball and could fly.
I would watch him play and study how he played his position.
I would then begin practicing what I observed him doing.
I never got as good as Ozzie, but I did improve my game by observing him.
Believers in Jesus Christ desire to become more like him.
He is not here to observe but He does reveal Himself to us.
He inspired those that did spend time with Him to write about what they witnessed and learned from their time with Jesus.
This is found in the gospels.
Jesus has revealed His personhood, his teachings, his power, and his purpose.
Jesus said if we continued in His word we are disciples of his.
Everything we need to know about Jesus is written in His word.
The more we read His Word the better we get to know Him.
He reveals himself through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
1 corinthians 2
Ephesians
When we read the Word of God, the Holy Spirit uses speaks to our hearts by the illumination of the Word of God.
This simply means the Holy Spirit allows to understand the Word of God to the point that it communicates to our soul.
The communication to our soul changes our personhood to become what the Spirit has illumined in our life.
When we read the Word of God,
Example: I remember reading and the gospel became more clear to me than it had ever been.
I realized that I am one who has gone his own way and did what i wanted to do.
I lived a lifestyle of sin.
I had gone my own way.
This passage showed me that the Lord has taken my sin and put it on his own Son.
There is a price that has to be paid for going your own way.
That price is wrath of God.
God took the price and paid it through His only son.
The love God must have for me to put my Sin on the One He loves eternally is overwhelming to me.
It drives me to my knees and draws out of me the worship that God deserves.
Isaiah 53:
This is one of those passages that I had read before without having any impact in my life.
But that particular morning as I read it again the Holy Spirit illumined it in a way that it pierced my soul.
The only way to know Jesus is to read and meditate on His revelation of himself to us.
It is through this revelation that we come to know Jesus personally.
When we know Jesus personally we will follow him.
The disciples did not leave everything and follow Jesus until they knew who He was.
Explain.
We will not be willing to follow Jesus until we know who He is.
We will not know who He is unless you read His word.
You Will Know the Truth
Truth - aletheia message ⇔ truth n. — a message that conforms to reality or actuality; whether historical (in space and time) or supernatural.
Truth is not relative, but is concrete.
The Word of God is truth.
Contrary to popular belief we do not determine our own truth.
Give example of the destruction of relative truth (murder) God determines truth.
He has spelled it out in His word.
The specific truth Jesus is referring to is that we are slaves to sin.
This means that we need to be set free.
John 8:
Reading the Word of God presents us with truth.
When our lives do not line up with the truth we are convicted by the Holy Spirit and it causes us to repent or change.
Paul demonstrates that he struggled with coveting and was made aware of it by reading God’s law (Word).
We too can identify area’s of sin in our life by reading God’s Word.
Identifying truth to reveal our sin is not for the sake of making us feel bad, but for the sake of getting rid of sin in our life.
For Example:
When I am angry with someone Jesus says:
Matthew 5:21-
He teaches the importance of quickly reconciling
When I become greedy and materialistic Jesus says
Matthew 6:
Jesus tells the importance on focusing on eternal things rather than temporary.
When I am tempted to get even with someone Jesus says:
Jesus explains that we are not to seek revenge but leave that up to God.
Matthew 5
Jesus explains that we are not to seek revenge
When I am tempted to do something to boost my pride or make myself look good Jesus says:
As you can see their are many truths in the Word of God.
We must be diligent readers of the Word in order to know truth.
Truth Will Set You Free
Reading God’s Word will help you discover truth.
The truth is that we are all slaves to sin
This means that we will all face the punishment for our sins apart from Jesus
Jesus is God’s Son and has paid the penalty for our sin
We can repent of our sins and be set free from the bondage of sin
We can repent of our sins and be set free from the bondage of sin
We can repent of our sins and be set free from the bondage of sin
Jesus will set us free from the bondage of sin and give us eternal life.
Romans
