[Music] [Music] hello everybody good morning and welcome to the Crystal centric meal a daily reflection of your true identity in Christ Jesus a bell demeanor is my Damon is exciting we're having the best of moments in 30 days of Glory's been a wonderful time every day as we fished together in the word of His grace and this morning is going to be another powerful one in the Christocentric meal invite a friend a family member somebody around you let's get into that world right now let's pray together father we rejoice because we have complete in you the head of all principalities and powers in you we find our true identity and we rejoice that we are not lost we do not have crisis because we are defined and revealed in you a prayer for viewers to name the eyes of each one's understanding flooded with light their minds illuminated their hearts strengthened by the Holy Ghost veils fall of clarity comes by the world in Jesus name Amen praise God alright today we are looking at willingness to give would be known as series teaching on giving giving giving and everything is simple there is a finished work of Christ there is the ongoing work of Christ and there is the unfinished work of Christ and the unfinished work of Christ is a lot because Jesus when he rose from the dead he said go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature the gospel to every creature not just to preach the gospel to every creature God will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth to come to that spiritual growth okay so that's discipleship so this evangelism does discipleship and the process of getting all this done includes a lot on finances apart from equipping people that will do the job so that's why giving is so critical moreover given is a doctrine of Scripture it begins with God Himself for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son it is in God's nature to give he gives to the good he gives to the bad he gives a return for he gives to their own tongue for giving it's God's nature and if you're born of God and given it's your nature because you share the same DNA with God he gave not justice wast he gave His only not even his best he's only the best of godless is only he gave everything that's God's Way of giving and that's the nature inherent in everyone again believer so today we're looking at willingness to give first Timothy chapter six verse 17 says charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high-minded not trust in uncertain riches but in the Living God who giveth us richly all things to enjoy that they do good in verse 18 that they be rich in good works that they do good how God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth who went about doing good that they do good that's God's nature and when you're born of God you do good all good and part the gifts coming from above from the Father of lights that they do good that they be rich in good works that they be rich in good works ready to distribute willing to communicate Paul wrote to Timothy to instruct him to warn them that are rich not to be high-minded but to be willing to communicate communicate is not like discussion communicate is given all right there are many reasons why a man can be reached many reasons industry whether good or bad industry whether good or bad inheritance is another way to be rich or nationality country where someone finds himself your country can be the reason why a rich your country could be the reason why a rich you know whatever the case a believer who is rich must put his trust in the Living God and not on uncertain riches look at the way he describes riches on subtle or reliable meaning you can have it today you don't have it tomorrow doesn't make you a bad person it's not the way riches are constructed they are so constructed that it cannot be trusted they are uncertain riches the believer must be willing to give wielding to a pasta pot calls it being rich in good works will in Turkey is being rich their attitude being rich in good works there is a deceitfulness in riches that makes a man have a false sense of security in his wealth and begins to trust in what he has very true you know there is this false sense of security where you think a man because his rich guy is money to do everything money can't do everything even though money can do many things but it cannot do everything there are things money can never do there are people that have so much money but they are sick they are critically sick then the best hospitals and they die because money cannot do everything money cannot bring peace there are very rich multi bolonia there are not happy they are not at peace some of them commit suicide because money cannot do everything okay so that's why the believer cannot trust in it but to trust in the Living God because it is going to give it us richly all things to enjoy the believer must always treat wealth as tempura and of this world the believers attitude and disposition towards riches resource money wealth he needs to view himself as a custodian of his resources to bless others and to meet his onions see you are just a custodian that God is going to use to be a blessing to other people Paul's instruction is claimed testimony 619 Lane up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come that they may lay hold on eternal life the rich is to lay up a good foundation for themselves when we give when we give we alene up a good foundation in eternity because giving is service don't forget a given break the hold of selfishness and greed in our lives giving is a show of trust in God when you give it shows you have conquered greed when you give it's also a demonstration that you have conquered selfishness they are selfless when we do not give with trust in riches and we they chose we are not a given you always want to collect and call it you become comatose you want to oppress everybody and get what they have and that we life can become the boring the adventure of life is when you're able to touch by their lives life becomes sweet when through you people are smiling when through you people are happy when through you people are motivated to live when you become an inspiration to everybody by your attitude and by a disposition we are giving is concerned giving is so important it's a vital part of humanity we give because we are blessed giving is our nature look at it again when we do not give with trust in riches and we are covetous praise God today's confession say these words after me I am willing to give I trust in the Living God not in uncertain riches hallelujah say it again I trust in the Living God not in uncertain riches now say very loud I am willing to give praise God let's pray

+1 it's a joy to always come your way with the word of His grace till we come again your way tomorrow same platform this is a bell demeanor say then the kingdom [Music] in the Greek there is a word called en em en which presupposes a union a union or an inside element the word in in the Greek is Award en and which presupposes a union or an inside element so for salvation faith is in Christ in Christ that word in Christ is a very powerful word in the epistles in Christ salvation presupposes their form through faith which is in christ in union with christ or an element inside christ a union would cries or an element inside cries look at Philippians chapter 3 verse number 9 and be found in him not having mine own righteousness which is of the law but that which is through the faith of Christ the righteousness which is of God by faith the word in be found in was used so many times and we have said it before in the course of this kitchen now the word in is Award en it presents what is persistently there what is persistently there the world in and I've told you the word in is a post-resurrection reality in 2nd Corinthians 5:17 If any man be in Christ in Christ If any man be in Christ the man in Christ all right and then the book of Colossians in whom in whom we have in Christ in him and be found in him in whom we have redemption through his blood in Christ in him in whom in Christ in him in whom we have so the aim is something that is persistently seen inside something that is persistently seen inside very important philippians 3:9 and brother paul began to talk about confidence in the flesh first before he came to be found in him in philippians of the three was three read for me we are the circumcision which worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh we have no confidence in the flesh when he said we worship God in the spirit is not talking about praise worship he's talking about the regenerated life we worship in the spirit that is our you know with God is in the spirit therefore we have no confidence in the flesh then he began to list out the areas of confidence look at verse four though I might also have confidence in the flesh if any other man think yet that he might swear off he might trust in the flesh I'm on I'm on what else you do in the flesh are many things that can have confidence in the flesh for but in Christ I do not have confidence in the flesh you can be in Christ enough confidence in the flesh and you can have confidence in the flesh are being Christ and be found in him they found in him not having my own in him I don't have mine if I have mine I'm not in him to be in him is to lose mine mine is ease now in the house and be found in him not having my oh he's talking about righteousness then he concludes in verse eight he a doubtless and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and do count them but dung that I might win I may win Christ so the next verse now and be found in him not having mine found in him not having my own righteousness which is of the law me vas 8 again I wanted to follow carefully the reading yeah doubtless and I count all things but loss I count all things but loss why for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and do count them daang why than I mooing cries brother Paul was talking as a Pharisee here as a Pharisee one that was an expert in the law of Moses and you remember I said they were dealing with the law of Moses and faith in Christ and brother Paul listen look I count everything I achieved as if are easy as nothing for the excellency of Christ Jesus and be found in him not having my own hallelujah that is it in him in him so in him he mentions the faith of Christ the faith of Christ all faith by Jesus Christ the faith of Christ or faith by Jesus Christ he lets you see the union the order that the phrase in represents our union of a union with God faith in Christ our union with God en all right so he and will mean that when I have faith in Christ it's not just a I'm trusting him to do something all right that's a part of it but when I have faith in Christ it means a have union with the SOTA I have union with the SOTA it means I am the Savior the suta are united as one I have union with the SOTA we're in a union together and be found in him we're in a union together is is talking about the union of the believer in Christ and Christ himself so when I have faith in him it means I am found in him found where in him now please follow me carefully because I want to deal with some things today that if they are not clear to you on the subject of salvation somebody can throw doubts to you in those areas all right now let's see the writer of Hebrews in Hebrews chapter number two from verse 1 to 3 therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard lest at any time we should let them sleep legs walls for if the word spoken by Angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward let's Russ how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that's heard him if your Bible was mine I will circle the word if I shall we escape if we neglect our second award if and I was second award neglects it opens us up to a dialogue in the book of Hebrews how shall we escape now obviously we know that the writer of Hebrews is saved okay so when he says how shall we escape him not inclusive him not inclusive all right is a different scenario him not inclusive because he is saved so when he says if we neglect he is not part of the weak he is not part of the week because his right him to believe in Jews and non believing Jews so it's not a part of the week the we all right now just like like this put your finger in Hebrews flip the first John let me show you something that's John chapter 1 verse 9 if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness look at the previous verse and the VAS after 9 give us 8 if we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us past then if we say that we have not sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us the writer of John is the part of the if we confess of course is not because he says the world is not in US and the world is in him that's what is writing the world is in him that's why he's writing now pay attention because it's very important so when he says if we see this doesn't include the writer that's number one number two whatever is saying in verse nine is of no reference to him okay because it's right into a people if you're following see here alright now so that if it's relative the word if and you're going to see a number of them as we read because those were so many people or don't you when they want to throw it out on your salvation they will look for buses that have Eve all right now so the writer of Hebrews took time to do some some some work on this if and we shall look at look at a few of those places but before we get back to Hebrews come to Colossians chapter one verse 23 if ye continue in the faith grounded unsettled and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye have heard and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven where of I Paul am made a minister if you continue in the faith will be what if we if you continue in faith what will that be will it be conditional or definite the others actually I am going to if you continue in the faith will it be conditional or definite there is a definite there is a conditional did you say definite conditioner now put your finger in Colossians or mobile explain a few seconds flip to Romans 8:11 those verses with if is what were working on today but if the spirits of him that had raised up Jesus from the dead that dwell in you he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you is that conditional or definite why did you say definitely under now when you are giving me definite condition if the spirit could be interpreted as since the spirit because he dwelleth it will be condition as his dwelling so the word Eve should not always be seen as conditional depending on the scenario where it is used that's the point I'm making is still here so it presents to us a definite a definite since that word Eve can also be substituted for since the spirit since the spirit that raised up Christ from the dead dwell let in you he shall also quicken your mortal bodies since the spirit he shall quicken your mortal body so he uses it but not a conditional statement meaning that the word Eve has different expressions sometimes is conditional sometimes is possibilities and sometimes is impossibilities sometimes is conditional sometimes is possibilities sometimes is impossibility and sometimes is an absolute statement like Romans 6:11 likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord you're already dead and alive that's absolutely so sometimes it presents impossibility and sometimes a possibility so if depends on the context of his use the word Eve depends on the context of issues for example romans 10 8 to 11 but what says it's the word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart that is the Word of Faith which we preach yes that if thou shalt confess with mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved question-is he acts in them to confess his he acts in the church in Rome is he acts in the believers in Rome to confess Christ why is your no week he's writing this letter to believe us the church in Rome where believers he's not asking them to confess Christ they have already confessed Christ otherwise they will not be believers what say you fear the world is nigh thee even in your mouth and in your heart is already telling them you're believers that if you shall confess Jonah he says this is what it takes for a man to be a believer like you if a man confesses he's not telling them to confess again context is king are you catching are you following yeah the if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in the heart that God raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved a deceived yes so it's relative to another audience okay to another audience he's explaining to these believers the process for another audience again that's why when you study you must pay attention in story you must identify who is that vast speaking to who is the written form is part of studying who is it really written for so the word if can be a possibility or an impossibility for example first Corinthians 15:14 and if Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain and your faith is also vain about seventeen and if Christ be not raised your faith is vain we are yet in your sins question is this the if is it a possibility or impossibility ever as quiet the if there is it a possibility or impossibility it's an impossibility impulsive because Christ has risen there's no statement that come or is in him it was English like that you're forcing me not to bend English there is nothing that come always in Christ so it's an impossibility he has already risen from the dead so our faith is not fail we are normal in our sins but brother Paul is just using the word if they are to communicate to the audience making them see the impossibility that is in the fact that once you are saved your sins about you before why else with you [Music] hello I hope you have been blessed by the wonderful message the Bible says man shall
