TOPIC: REVELATION OF GOD IN REDEMPTION OF MANKIND        April Thursday 23rd
Text: Galatians 4:3-5
Key verse: Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

The titles Father, Son and Holy Spirit are believed to be redemptive revelation of God to man on earth. It is the way God reveals Himself to mankind for the purpose of their salvation. They are not eternal titles that existed from eternity past. Jesus was not eternally a Son. The word “Son” does not refer to His Deity, but to His humanity. As God, Jesus had no beginning, was not begotten, was not the first-born of God, was not born, and therefore, was not a Son! But as Man, He had a beginning, was begotten, was the first-born of God, was born, and therefore became Son of God. This dual-personality of Jesus as a God-man must be made clear for perfect understanding of His purpose on earth. 

God became a Son (Jesus) at the fullness of God’s appointed time, and came down with a message to mankind. When there was no mankind in eternity past, He was not a Son and there was no Father. It was God, Jehovah, Lord, one God that existed. The distinction in the Godhead was not emphasized because it was said in Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created …” There was no need for any distinction. In fact, angels are not seeing any differences between them because it is not relevant to them. They don’t need redemption. They see one God; one Master; one Lord; one Creator. God gave the title of “Son” to Himself because of His redemptive work on earth – to save sinful man from his sins and to establish sound doctrine for the salvation of mankind.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Jesus was not Saviour until sin entered man. It was necessity that gave birth to the Saviour. God was not Saviour until there were sin, Satan and death to be saved from. He was God in eternity; Mighty One, who is self-existent. You have a chemical that you spray to kill mosquitoes but you did not know it could also kill snakes until you discovered that a snake came in contact with it and died. When somebody now asks you of its use, you would say it is a chemical for killing mosquitoes and snakes. That is another way of explaining this concept of God’s redemptive work on earth in the Person of Jesus Christ.

Thought for the day: Jesus was not Saviour until sin entered man
Song for the day: Messiah is the King of kings
Bible reading for the day:
2 Samuel 7-9; Luke 19:1-28

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
