REJECTION (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.


2. Rejection

a) It's in the Bible, John 1:10-11, NKJV. "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own,and His owndid not receive Him."

b) When people reject the work we do in God's will, they are not rejecting us, but rejecting God. It's in the Bible, Luke 10:16, NKJV. "He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”

c) We reject God when we refuse His offer of salvation. It's in the Bible, Matthew 21:42, NIV. "Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

d) Anyone who rejects God's word is rejecting wisdom. It's in the Bible, Jeremiah 8:9, NKJV.  "The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; So what wisdom do they have?"

e) Though things do not always end up right, we can trust the Lord will hold us up. It's in the Bible, Psalm 37:23-24, NKJV. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand."

f) Rejoice in the things that try and test you - for it builds character. It's in the Bible, Romans 5:3-4, NKJV.  "And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."




The End ...
