Don’t you know

1 Corinthians 6:19
New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁹ Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

• is  –> It’s still IS, the temple
• Proves Holy Spirit won’t leave you, but can be quenched.
  • “I will never leave you nor forsake you” – Deuteronomy 31:6

Heavenly Calling

1 Corinthians 6:3
New King James Version (NKJV)

³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

 

 

Meditate on These Things

Philippians 4:8
New King James Version (NKJV)

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

• Don’t meditate even on destruction and bad news stories. Pray for them but don’t focus more on them.

Be Generous and Do Good

Galatians 6:6-10
New King James Version (NKJV)

⁶ Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

⁷ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. ⁹ And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Matthew 7:21-23
New King James Version (NKJV)

I Never Knew You

²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

In that day

• The Day when Jesus return.
• Second Coming of Christ

Time when every knows Jesus is Lord

• Obviously everyone will call Him Lord, despite of whether they received Jesus or not before.

They said 

• Jesus didn’t say
• It could be a lie.

What is the Will of the Father

• Today ( NOT “IN THAT DAY“ ), if you call Him Lord, You believe in Him in your heart, you are doing the will of the Father.

John 6:40
New King James Version (NKJV)

⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

• Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ now. NOT in that day
• During sermon which unveils Christ, they see Jesus, they believe in Him and they are saved.

Will of the Father is NOT YOUR BEHAVIOR , NOT WORKS, NOT PERFORMANCE

Jesus came in the LIKENESS of sinful flesh

Romans 8:3
New King James Version (NKJV)

³ For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

Romans 5:20-21
New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁰ Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded (pleonazo-increased), grace abound (huperperisseuo – superabounded and some more on top of that) much more, ²¹ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

• huper is a preposition
• huper means super in English
• perisseuo = overflow
• E.g.: Natural , Supernatural. Overflowing, Super overflowing
• “some more on top of that” – Kenneth Wuest

Romans 6:1-2
New King James Version (NKJV)

People with no revelation of Jesus asking

6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound (pleonazo-increased)?² Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

• They didn’t use the same word
• They didn’t understand what Paul was saying
• They had no revelation of Jesus
• They didn’t listen to the message properly

“How can the medicine that’s supposed to kill the disease (grace) feed the disease (sin)?” – John Calvin

• Grace is not an empowerment, but it produces the empowerment.
• How it produces empowerment ? By the revelation of the Gift of no condemnation. That empowers to sin no more

John 8:10-12
New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁰ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”

¹¹ She said, “No one, Lord.”

And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

¹² Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not (ou – me : strong negative) walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

• shall not (ou – me : strong negative : Double Negative)
• YOU CANNOT WALK IN DARKNESS WHEN YOU ARE A DISCIPLE OF JESUS

 

• Matthew Mark Luke and John, Word Disciples (Singular and Plural ) used 200 times
• Book of John 10 Times
• Book of Acts 30 Times
• After Acts there was no mention of the word “Disciple” , because we became the sons and daughters of God

Note: New Covenant Only starts after the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Which means we can’t say Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts are full of New Covenant, as it hasn’t been established until the end of those most chapters. And those books are mainly written for Jewish people, but of course we can learn from it.

Last time Disciple is used as “Old Disciple”

Acts 21:16
King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

Once Father comes, we are no more disciples

Family of God

• In other words now we are in the Family of God

John 20:17
New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”

• we are not disciples like the Jewish people
• There is a demarcation very clear that now we are the sons and daughters of God

Now we are called,

Son of God or Servant of God ( Servant : Duolos in Greek  http://biblehub.com/greek/1401.htm )

• Only a Son can be a Glorious Servant
• Glory when the son becomes a servant
• A servant trying to be servant, there is no glory

John 17:6
New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

⁶ “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

Romans 8:15
New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁵ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

• Once Father comes, we are no more disciples
• We are people that keep on learning for the rest of our lives
• We will always be the followers of Jesus

Already we satisfied of being a Disciple

• To carry the cross and to Follow Jesus
• Jewish tradition is that, those who carry cross are on the way to death
• Bible clearly says that “We are crucified with Christ”, we died with Christ and we are raised with Christ, which means, we have already carried the cross, died and raise.
  • That’s how we became a New Creation, the same moment when we Believed on Christ Jesus ( at the moment when we got saved )

Don’t go back to Old Covenant again
