Ordinary Expectations - Luke 3:7-14
An axe has been laid (What now?)
Who were those crowds?
A Brood of vipers with Abraham as their father.
The axe severed that link.
The axe was wielded by God, not John
The axe said to the people (and should to us) You are cut off!
You have no hope with God.
You are not His people.
Do NOT assume otherwise!
- For God has consigned all to disobedience
- But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin
Union with Christ Jesus is the only root that remains, but it remains forever.
And all who are united with Christ will bear fruit
luk 3
Christian Decency (not seeking X-ministry)
The doing in order to be saved has been done by Jesus; it is only ours to receive His gift in faith.
Fruitful Assurance in trying - Luke 3:10-14
If he is a Christian tailor, he will say: I make these clothes because God has bidden me do so, so that I can earn a living, so that I can help and serve my neighbor.
When a Christian does not serve the other, God is not present; that is not Christian living.

Winnowing Fork
