Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
Jesus came to accomplish everlasting righteousness
Jesus came to give you everlasting righteousness. That means His righteousness is like Himself.
We are always in the righteousness of God in Christ. We need to know the forgiveness is complete.
Every year the year of atonement need to observe yearly
Romans 4:25 – 5:1
who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Faith Triumphs in Trouble
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
The same Lord Jesus Christ so identify Himself with us. All our sins are completely put away. If not Christ will not be raised from dead.
Always know He is there accomplish redemption for us.
We have peace with God
Actively hold on to the fact that you have peace with God
Isaiah 54:14
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
The Lord Himself will teach your children directly.
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
For their righteousness is from Me
Once you are established in righteousness you won’t suffer those things the world suffer.
God delight in us having the sense of right standing with God
We are the righteousness of God in Christ
We stand on favour ground
We have access into this favour
The favour that Esther received.
The same favour is now ours and forever
Wrong believing will produce wrong living
Right believing will receive right living
Living by faith will produce the result
We don’t have to worry about the wrong living part
The righteous shall live by faith
Having a net produces a shalom inside to cause us to excel outside
Hebrews 6:4-6
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
The bible is written to us for our benefit. We also need to understand the context and the background
Hebrews 1:1-2
The Supremacy of God’s Son
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
You and I are gentiles
It is talking about the jewish fathers. Hebrews.
There is only one nation that has covenant with God, that is Israel through the Father Abraham
When come to the book of Hebrews, all these sacrifices were all pointing to the final cleansing the true Lamb of God who will take away their sins.
Today we are living after the Messiah has come.
They lived before Christ came
When Israel was under the law they were infants.
We are no more under law we are under grace
We don’t go back to kindergarten
Isaiah 32:17
And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.
Forget yourself and serve the King of kings
Hebrews 6:13-14
The Certainty of God’s Promise
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.”
Hebrews 6:18
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
It is impossible for God to lie
Hebrews 6:4-6
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
It is possible to be enlightened but short of been saved
Matthew 27:34
they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
Partakers – metochos
Together with
It means joint partner with what the holy spirit is doing
The disciples were followers and disciples of Jesus but were not saved because Jesus was not yet died on resurrected
They cannot be saved until Christ has died on the cross for their sins
Jesus told a godly man he must be born again.
We are born again, recreated
All those who died in the old testament they don’t go to heaven straight away.
Today a believer died he goes straight away to heaven.
Paradise is not heaven. Paradise is a place where righteous Godly believers go to
Feelings don’t depart after you died
For us is a real life
When Jesus died on the cross the dead bodies of the saints rose from the tombs. The bodies. They were the first fruits of those who received their bodies. The people of Jerusalem saw them
Great crowd of witnesses. That is when they entered heaven
Today we have the holy spirit in us forever
Forever is a long time, my friend.
Tasted the good word of God
It is only a taste but they did not drink it in.
If they believe on Christ, He gives eternal life and they shall never perish.
Hebrews 6:9
A Better Estimate
But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
Beloveds is only used for God’s people
Every books of the bible can speak to us today. We must see them in context
If you have been hearing something in out of context you are in fear
Hebrews 6:18
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
Hebrews 6:13-14
God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ
For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
God is your supply. Not your job
Genesis 22:16-17
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
God is your source.
Surely blessings i will bless you
It is impossible for God to lie
Multiplying i will multiply you
Multiply in every areas of your life
Have dominion over the earth
When God blesses you, you are empowered to succeed
You are empowered to live life more abundantly
You are empowered to be a blessing!
God said Surely blessings i will bless you. It is impossible for God to lie
You are a blessed man and blessed woman
Expect preferential treatment
Genesis 26:1-3
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
Genesis 26:12-14
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Great – grew great – very great
The blessings were tangible
Very evident
God wants to bless you until the world is jealous
Things happen to work for you
You are Abraham’s seed
Surely blessings i will bless you
Multiply i will multiply you
Hebrews 6:17-18
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
God lowered Himself. He swore to give us strong encouragement
That surely blessings He will bless us, multiplying He will multiply you
Amen!
