성령 안에 있는 의와 평강과 희락(롬14:17)

INSPIRED INVINCIBILITY “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me.” Matthew 11:29 “Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth.” How petty our complaining is! Our Lord begins to bring us into the place where we can have communion with Him, and we groan and say—"Oh Lord, let me be like other people!" Jesus is asking us to take one end of the yoke—"My yoke is easy, get ..

WHAT TO DO UNDER THE CONDITIONS "Cast thy burden upon the Lord." Psalm 55:22 We must distinguish between the burden-bearing that is right and the burden-bearing that is wrong. We ought never to bear the burden of sin or of doubt, but there are burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off, He wants us to roll them back on Him. “Cast that He hath given thee..

MORAL DOMINION “Death hath no more dominion over Him . . . in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also your- selves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God.“ Romans6:9-11. Co-Eternal Life. Eternal life was the life which Jesus Christ exhibited on the human plane, and it is the same life, not a copy of it, which is manifested in our mortal flesh wh..

MORAL DIVINITY “For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection.“ Romans 6:5 Co-Resurrection. The proof that I have been through crucifixion with Jesus is that I have a decided likeness to Him. The incoming of the Spirit of Jesus into me readjusts my personal life to God. The resurrection of Jesus has ..

MORAL DECISION ABOUT SIN “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6 Co-Crucifixion. Have I made this decision about sin—that it must be killed right out in me? It takes a long time to come to a moral decision about sin, but it is the great moment in my life when ..

HAVE I SEEN HIM? “After that He appeared in another form unto two of them.” Mark 16:12 Being saved and seeing Jesus are not the same thing. Many are partakers of God’s grace who have never seen Jesus. When once you have seen Jesus, you can never be the same, other things do not appeal as they used to do. Always distinguish between what you see Jesus to be, and what He ha..

THE UNBLAMABLE ATTITUDE “If…thou rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee….” Mathew 5:23 If when you come to the altar, there you remember that you brother has anything against you, not—if you rake up something by a morbid sensitiveness, but—“If thou rememberest,” that is, if it is brought to your conscious mind by the Spirit of God: “first be reconciled to thy bro..

THE “GO” OF RELATIONSHIP “And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.” Mathew 5:41 The summing up of Our Lord’s teaching is that the relationship which He demands is an impossible one unless he has done a supernatural work in us. Jesus Christ demands that there be not the slightest trace of resentment even suppressed in the heart of a disciple when he meets with t..

THE “GO” OF PREPARATION “Therefore If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there thou rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be rec- onciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” Mathew 5:23-24 It is easy to imagine that we will get to a place where we are complete and ready, preparation is not sud..

THE MISSIONARY’S GOAL “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem.” Luke 18:31 In the natural life our ambitions alter as we develop; in the Christian life the goal is given at the beginning, the beginning and the end are the same, viz., our Lord Himself. We start with Christ and we end with Him—“until we all attain to the stature of the manhood of Christ Jesus,” not to our..
