THE TEACHING OF
JESUS ON SUBJECTS
|
I. The Nature and Position of Angels 1. ANGELS DO NOT DIE
Neither can they die any more: for they are
equal unto the angels. Luke 20:36.
2. ANGELS DO NOT MARRY
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Matt. 22:30.
3. ANGELS ARE NOT OMNISCIENT
But of that day and hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Matt. 24:36.
4. ANGELS ARE ORGANIZED INTO LEGIONS
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall
presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? Matt. 26:53.
5. ANGELS SUPREMELY INTERESTED IN THE CONVERSION OF SINNERS
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels
of God over one sinner that repenteth. Luke 15:10 (See verse 7).
6. REDEEMED TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE ANGELS
Also .I say unto you,
Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also
confess before the angels of God. Luke 12:8.
7. ANGELS ARE ATTENDANTS TO CHRIST
When the Son of man shall come into his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.
Matt. 25:31.
|
II. The Ministry of Angels
1. ANGELS MINISTER TO CHRIST
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open,
and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
John 1:51 (See Matt. 26:53).
2. ANGELS ARE GUARDIANS OF GOD'S LITTLE ONES
Take heed that ye
despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in
heaven their angels do always be-hold the face of my Father which is
in heaven. Matt. 18:10.
3. ANGELS CARRY RIGHTEOUS AT
DEATH TO PARADISE
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
Luke 16:22.
4. ANGELS SHALL GATHER TOGETHER THE
ELECT AT CHRIST'S COMING
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one
end of heaven to the other. Matt. 24:31.
5. ANGELS SHALL SEVER RIGHTEOUS
FROM THE WICKED
So shall it be at the end of the world: The angels shall come forth,
and sever the wicked from among the just. Matt. 13:49.
6. ANGELS SHALL EXECUTE JUDGMENT ON
THE WICKED
.. . The reapers are the angels . . . The Son of man shall send
forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all
things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them
into a furnace of fire. Matt. 13:39;41;42.
7. ANGELS ARE MINISTERING SPIRITS TO THE REDEEMED
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the
churches. Rev. 22:16.
|
III. Origin and Doom of Satan 1. SATAN AT THE BEGINNING ABODE
NOT IN THE TRUTH
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John
8:44.
2. SATAN WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN
I beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven. Luke 10:18.
3. SATAN DOES NOT CAST OUT SATAN
How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom be divided against
itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against
itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against
himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. Mark
3:23-26.
4. SATAN INVOLVED IN THE DEATH OF CHRIST
Hereafter I will not talk
much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and bath nothing
in me. John 14:30.
5. SATAN WAS JUDGED AT CALVARY
And when he (the Holy Spirit) is come, he will reprove the world . .
. of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. John
16:8, 11.
6. SATAN DEFEATED AT CALVARY
Now is the judgment of this world: now
shall the prince of this world be cast out. John 12:31.
7. SATAN AND HIS ANGELS TO BE CAST INTO EVERLASTING FIRE
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me,
ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels. Matt. 25:41.
|
IV. The Work of Satan and Evil Spirits
1. SATAN TAKES AWAY THE WORD SOWN
IN HEARTS OF CARELESS SINNERS
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when
they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word
that was sown in their hearts. Mark 4:15.
2. SATAN SOWS TARES—CHILDREN OF
THE WICKED ONE
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat,
and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought
forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. Matt. 13:25-26. (See
verses 24-30).
3. EVIL SPIRITS INHABIT BODIES OF THE DISOBEDIENT
When the unclean
spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking
rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence
I came out. And whet' he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked
than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state
of that man is worse than the first. Luke 11:24-26.
4. SATAN IMPOSES HIS NATURE UPON
THE DISOBEDIENT
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do. John 8:44.
5. SATAN WHEN POSSIBLE OPPRESSES THE
BODIES OF CHILDREN OF GOD
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan
bath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on
the sabbath day? Luke 13:16.
6. SATAN SEEKS TO SUBVERT THE CHILDREN OF GOD
Simon, Simon, behold,
Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I
have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31-32.
7. SATAN THROUGH WICKED MEN
PERSECUTES THE RIGHTEOUS
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil
shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried. Rev. 2:10.
|
V. Election—Foreordination
1. THE ELECTION OF THE FATHER'S CALL
All that the Father giveth me
shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast
out. John 6:37.
2. CHRIST CHOOSES AND ORDAINS
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that
ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should
remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you. John 15:16.
3. POSITIONS IN WORLD TO COME PREDESTINATED
Ye shall drink indeed of
my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with:
but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give,
but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
Matt. 20:23.
4. DIVINE PROTECTION OF THE ELECT
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved; but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Matt.
24:22.
5. THE GATHERING BY THE ANGELS OF GOD'S ELECT
And he shall send his
angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other. Matt. 24:31.
6. DIVINE AVENGING OF THE ELECT
And shall not God avenge his own
elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with
them? Luke 18:7.
7. KINGDOM PREPARED FOR RIGHTEOUS
FROM FOUNDATION OF WORLD
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world. Matt. 25:34.
|
VI. Personal Accountability 1. NOT THE WILL OF FATHER THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that
one of these little ones should perish. Matt. 18:14.
2. ACCOUNTABILITY NOT REQUIRED OF
THOSE WHO HAVE NO LIGHT
If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see;
therefore your sin remaineth. John 9:41.
3. SIN NOT IMPUTED WITHOUT LIGHT
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but
now they have no cloke for their sin. John 15:22.
4. WHEN LIGHT COMES—ACCOUNTABILITY IS REQUIRED
If I had not done among them the works which none other man did,
they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me
and my Father. John 15:24.
5. THE DISOBEDIENT TO BE BEATEN
WITH MANY STRIPES
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not
himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with
many stripes. Luke 12:47.
6. THOSE WHO DISOBEY IN IGNORANCE TO BE BEATEN WITH FEW STRIPES
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall
be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of
him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, of
him they will ask the more. Luke 12:48.
7. JUDGMENT COMES BECAUSE DARKNESS
IS PREFERRED TO LIGHT
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:19.
|
VII. Duty to God and Man
1. FIRST COMMANDMENT IS TO LOVE GOD
WITH ALL THY HEART
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this
is the first commandment. Mark 12:30.
2. SECOND COMMANDMENT IS TO LOVE
NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mark
12:31.
3. WORSHIP IS DUE GOD ONLY
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matt. 4:10.
4. TRUE WORSHIPPERS MUST WORSHIP
IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship him. John 4:23.
5. THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD—TO BELIEVE ON CHRIST
This is the work of
God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. John 6:29.
6. MAN'S DUTY TO MAN
Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt
not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and
thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matt.
19:17-19.
7. THE GOLDEN RULE
And as ye would that men should do to you, do you
also to them likewise. Luke 6:31.
|
VIII. Sabbath
1. THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN
The sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the sabbath. Mark 2:27.
2. SON OF MAN IS LORD OF THE SABBATH
Therefore the Son of man is
Lord also of the sabbath. Mark 2:28.
3. THE AFFLICTED MAY BE HEALED ON THE SABBATH
And ought not this
woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these
eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? Luke
13:16.
4. IT IS LAWFUL TO DO GOOD ON THE SABBATH
What man shall there be
among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on
the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How
much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do
well on the sabbath days. Matt. 12:11-12.
5. CIRCUMCISION WAS GIVEN ON SABBATH
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of
Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a
man.
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of
Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made
a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? John 7:22-23.
6. CHRIST SHOWS THAT MERCY MAY BE
SHOWN ON THE SABBATH
Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungered, and they
that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did
eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not
read in the law, how that on the sabbath day the priests in the
temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? Matt. 12:3-5.
7. IT IS LAWFUL TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will
not straighway pull him out on the sabbath day? Luke 14:3-5.
|
IX. Marriage
1. MARRIAGE ORDAINED OF GOD
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and
female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they
are no more twain, but one flesh. Mark 10:6-8.
2. WHAT GOD HATH JOINED MAN IS NOT
TO PUT ASUNDER
What therefore God bath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mark 10:9.
3. DIVORCE PERMITTED IN OLDEN TIMES BECAUSE OF HARDNESS OF MEN'S
HEARTS
Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put
away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Matt. 19:8.
4. DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE CONSTITUTES ADULTERY
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be
for fornication, and shall marry another, cornmitteth adultery: and
whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Matt.
19:9.
5. FOR SOME IT IS BETTER NOT TO MARRY
All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given:
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's
womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men:
and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the
kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him
receive it. Matt. 19:11-12.
6. MARRIAGE TIES DISSOLVED IN HEAVEN
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. Mark
12:25.
7. CHRIST RECOGNIZES LEGAL ASPECT OF MARRIAGE
Thou hast well said, I
have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou
now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. John
4:17-18.
|
X. Children and the Little Ones
1. SINNER MUST BE CONVERTED TO HUMILITY OF CHILDREN TO ENTER KINGDOM
Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little
children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven: Whosoever
therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is
greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 18:3-4.
2. CHRIST DECLARES THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN
And whoso shall
receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. Matt. 18:5.
3. THE PENALTY OF HARMING A CHILD
But whoso shall offend one of
these little ones which believe
in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his
neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matt. 18:6.
4. CHILDREN HAVE GUARDIAN ANGELS
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say
unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of
my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 18:10.
5. NOT THE WILL OF THE FATHER THAT
A LITTLE CHILD SHOULD PERISH
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that
one of these little ones should perish. Matt. 18:14.
6. CHILDREN SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO
COME TO CHRIST
Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of
such is the kingdom of God. Luke 18:16.
7. THE LORD ENCOURAGES THE
WORSHIP OF CHILDREN
Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
thou hast perfected praise? Matt. 21:16.
|
XI. Parents
1. CHILDREN MUST HONOUR PARENTS
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He
that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. Matt. 15:4.
2. CHILDREN MUST NOT NEGLECT PARENTS
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a
gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not
his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the
commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Matt. 15:5-6.
3. MAN ORDAINED TO LEAVE FATHER AND
MOTHER AND CLEAVE TO WIFE
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and
shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Matt.
19:5.
4. NO DISCIPLE MAY LOVE FATHER AND
MOTHER MORE THAN CHRIST
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her
mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me:
and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Matt. 1:35-37.
5. SERVICE TO GOD MUST COME BEFORE
PARENTS, WIFE OR FAMILY
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and
wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life
also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26.
6. THOSE WHO FORSAKE HOME AND PARENTS FOR GOSPEL'S SAKE TO BE
COMPENSATED
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that bath left
house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the
kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this
present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. Luke
18:29-30.
7. PARENTS NOT ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE FOR AFFLICTIONS OF CHILDREN
And his disciples asked him saying, Master, who did sin, this man,
or his parents, that he was born blind? John 9:2.
|
XII. Riches
1. THE FOLLY OF LAYING UP RICHES ON EARTH
Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal. Matt. 6:19.
2. MAN CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matt. 6:24.
3. THE DIFFICULTY OF A RICH MAN ENTERING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to
enter into the kingdom of God. Matt. 19:23-24.
4. THE DANGER OF RICHES
How hardly shall they that have riches enter
into the kingdom of God! Mark 10:23.
5. PARABLE OF A RICH MAN WHO AT DEATH OPENS HIS EYES IN HADES
Parable of Rich Man (See Luke 16:19.31).
6. THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL WHO IS CUT OFF FROM HIS RICHES
Parable of Rich Fool (See Luke 12:16-21).
7. THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the
word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Matt. 13:22.
|
XIII. The Poor
1. THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THE POOR
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken
hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. Luke
4:18.
2. CHRIST BLESSES THE POOR
Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Luke 6:20.
3. A REWARD PROMISED TO THOSE WHO FEED THE POOR
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame,
the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense
thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Luke 14:13-14.
4. GIVE TO THE POOR
One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and
give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come,
take up the cross, and follow me. Mark 10:21.
5. POVERTY SHALL EVER BE A PROBLEM OF THIS AGE
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
John 12:8.
6. THOSE WHO ARE KIND TO THE POOR AND NEEDY BLESSED AT THE JUDGMENT
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat:
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took
me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I
was in prison, and ye came unto me. And tic King shall answer and
say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matt. 25:34-36, 40.
7. THOSE WHO ARE POOR IN THIS WORLD FOR CHRIST ARE TRULY RICH
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)
and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are
not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Rev. 2:9.
|
XIV. Believers' Relation to Civil Law
1. AGREE WITH THY ADVERSARY QUICKLY—AVOID LAWSUITS IF POSSIBLE
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with
him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and
the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till
thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Matt. 5:25-26.
2. RESIST NOT EVIL
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if
any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile,
go with him twain. Matt. 5:39-41.
3. SEEK NOT VENGEANCE ON ENEMIES
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is
not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Luke 9:55-56 (See
verses 51-54).
4. GIVE TRIBUTE TO NOT OFFEND
What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take
custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? . . .
Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend
them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish
that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou
shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me
and thee. Matt. 17:25-27.
5. GIVE THAT TO CAESAR WHICH IS CAESAR'S
Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Show me the tribute money. Whose is
this image and superscription? Render therefore unto Caesar the
things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Matt. 22:18-21 (See verses 15-17).
6. TAKE NOT THE SWORD
Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the
sword shall perish with the sword. Matt. 26:52.
7. CHRIST'S KINGDOM NOT OF THIS WORLD
My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world,
then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36.
|
XV. Physical Death 1. PHYSICAL DEATH AND DEATH OF THE SOUL NOT THE SAME
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the
soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and
body in hell. Matt. 10:28.
2. THE RICH FOOL'S SOUL WAS REQUIRED AND HE DIED
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast
provided? Luke 12:20.
3. THE RICH MAN DIED AND WAS BURIED
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom, the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:22-23.
4. THE UNBELIEVING JEWS DIED IN THEIR SINS
I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins:
whither I go, ye cannot come. I said therefore unto you, that ye
shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall
die in your sins. John 8:21, 24.
5. APOSTLES TO TASTE OF DEATH—BUT SOME TO SEE GLORY OF
TRANSFIGURATION FIRST
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall
not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. Luke 9:27.
6. THE DEATH OF CHRIST BROUGHT FORTH FRUIT
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth
much fruit. John 12:24.
7. CHRIST WAS DEAD BUT IS ALIVE FOREVER
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Rev. 1:18.
|
XVI. Spiritual Death 1. THE SPIRITUALLY DEAD BURY THE PHYSICALLY DEAD
Follow me; and let
the dead bury their dead. Matt. 8:22.
2. THE BELIEVER PASSES FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH
Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent
me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but
is passed from death unto life. John 5:24.
3. THE SPIRITUALLY DEAD WHO HEAR THE
VOICE OF CHRIST SHALL LIVE
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when
the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear
shall live. John 5:25.
4. HE THAT EATETH OF THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN SHALL NOT DIE
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die. John 6:50.
5. HE THAT KEEPS CHRIST'S SAYINGS
SHALL NEVER DIE (SPIRITUALLY)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall
never see death. John 8:51.
6. BELIEVERS IN CHRIST SHALL NEVER
DIE (SPIRITUALLY)
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest
thou this? John 11:26.
7. CHURCH AT SARDIS HAD WORKS
BUT WAS SPIRITUALLY DEAD
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith
he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know
thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Rev. 3:1.
|
XVII. Hell (Hades)
1. THOSE OF CAPERNAUM TO BE
BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust
down to hell. Luke 10:15.
2. GATES OF HADES SHALL NOT PREVAIL
AGAINST THE CHURCH
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I
will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. Matt. 16:18.
3. THE RICH MAN DIED AND LIFTED UP
HIS EYES IN HADES
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:22-23.
4. A GREAT GULF FIXED IN HADES
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my
tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son,
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and
likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art
tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great
gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Luke
16:24-26.
5. HADES A PLACE OF TORMENT
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send
him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may
testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luke 16:27-28.
6. BELIEF IN THE SCRIPTURES ONLY HOPE
OF ESCAPE FROM HADES
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them
hear them. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the
dead. Luke 16:29, 31.
7. RESURRECTED CHRIST HAS THE
KEYS OF DEATH AND HADES
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Rev. 1:18.
