The Narrow Way To Life (Part II)

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." - Matthew 7:13-14

EXPLORATION

From last week's Digest we saw that in these two verses of scripture, Jesus revealed that there are two different ways in this world and each of us is certainly walking on one of the two. One is the bad way of sin, and the other the good way of holiness. That is, of right or wrong, good or evil, one is the way to heaven, the other, the way to hell. You must be walking on one of these two ways because there is no middle ground either now or hereafter. It is either the best or the worst.

Sincere And Selfless Love

"Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" - Romans 12:9-10

EXPLORATION

There are three forms of love described in the Christian Greek scriptures - EROS, PHILIA AND AGAPE.

EROS - Is the passion for the opposite sex that constitutes the emotional incentive to conjugal union. It is lust.

PHILIA - Is a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection as for a friend, for a parent or child, brother, sister or a relation. Usually the person is well known and your association or relationship demands the love as a duty.

Our Eternal Hope

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." - 1 John 3:2-3

EXPLORATION

Bible analysts assert that man is the apex of God's creation, because after God created all things he finally made man when he said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and LET THEM HAVE DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." - Genesis 1:26. This shows that man has been made the head of all of God's creation.

Christianity Is Not Morality - Bliss & Fire Network Weekly Digest - Success Scripture July 28, 2009

Christianity Is Not Morality

"For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them." - Romans 10:5

EXPLORATION

Definition: Moral is the adjective that qualifies the character or conduct of a person considered as good or that which conforms to what is right or ethical as supported by human reasoning. A MORALIST is one who teaches morals or practices moral duties.

LAW is a pattern of living set for the people of a particular community or nation. So, to be right in the sight of men, one has to keep the law of the land. But we know that in some cases, the law of man may not be in the general interest of the people in a community or nation and sometimes contrary to the law of God. There are also laws set forth in the bible by God to be observed by man. So no one can pretend not to know what God demands of us. God's law is indeed ultimate.

Spiritual Concern For The Brethren

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" - Philippians 2:5

EXPLORATION

Paul was a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. He was an expert in the Law of Moses having studied under the great teacher of his day, Gamaliel by name. His commitment to the observance of the law was such that he would resist even unto blood anything or person that would contravene the Law of Moses. (Acts 5:34, Acts 22:3, Philippians 3:4-6)

His zeal reached its climax after he instigated the stoning of Stephen and went ahead to obtain letters of authority from the high priest to arrest Jews in Damascus who were Christians and bring them bound to Jerusalem to be imprisoned. (Acts 9:1-2)
