LIVING WITH GOD AND OTHERS

II
Tim 3:16-17 All scripture is given be inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction
in righteousness:

3:17
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all
good works.

What
if God’s purpose for man was fulfilled in the whole human race?

Men
know there are problems: But how to solve them? Million dollar
studies, Seminars, workshop and conferences? Legalize
trouble-causing actions so they won’t bother us anymore? Sex
education, Drug education, Higher education? Moral training with no
basis in God? More and bigger Prisons, Guns , War etc?

The
text has the answer! It won’t work. Right? But when Jesus
comes, it will work for all men and it will work right now for the
‘Man of God’.

Ephesians
2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and
are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ himself being the chief corner stone: V21 In whom all the
building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the
Lord: V22 In whom ye also are builded together for and habitation
of
God through the Spirit. FELLOW CITIZENS1

Phil
3: 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: V 21 Who shall change our
vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious
body,according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all
things unto himself.

IT
BEHOOVES TO LEARN NOW HOW TO LIVE IN ETERNITY1

How
can men, who can’t get along with other men, who are just like
themselves, ever hope to get along with God, who is so greatly
different?

Jer.
12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen and they have wearied
thee,then how canst thou contend with horses? And if in the land of
peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt
thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

I
God does have the answer. Every time man has failed to heed , he
has brought trouble to himself and his fellows.

a) In the garden -simple rules- tragic results---Death upon all
men!

b) At Sinai - No other Gods- No graven images-A golden calf -
death to 3,000 men and more plagues.

c) David- Adultery-Sword shall not depart-comes- murder
covetousness
