DETERMINATION: INSTRUCTION & TEACHING (3)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Determination
Romans 12:1-2
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 15:4
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Matthew 22:29
But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
The End ...
1. Determination
a) All Christians will have times of doubt and fear and even worry. We can see this throughout the pages of Scriptures in many of our biblical heroes. Satan will often use these things we think on to weaken our faith.
b) Some of the stories of Abraham or even King David and we get to see first hand what fear and worry can look like and often lead us into sin. The word of God has much to say about this topic and gives us many verses to turn to for strength and determination in our daily walk with God. Sometimes these verses will tell us to simply hang on or endure a tough circumstance. Other times we are told to think through and grasp and embrace the power of God in our lives. But overall, God’s word gives us hope as we (sinful people) will battle our sin nature for the rest of our lives or until the return of Jesus.
Galatians 6:9
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up."
