Basic Theology: Sufficiency of Scriptures Part 05 - Conclusion

 Conclusion:

Previous: 6. Judgement of the Lord


Psalms 19:10-13, More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of [g]great transgression.

1. Precious

To have the Word of God is more valuable than all the precious metal.

The Word of God is the greatest possession one can have in his life. It is supremely valuable for it leads to the path of joy.

2. Pleasure

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Nothing is as sweet, nothing is as pleasurable, nothing is as enriching, nothing is as personally meaningful. It brings the sweetest things of earth.

There’s no pleasure in life like the pleasure and the joy hours spent in the Word of God.
Scripture is the greatest possession and the source of the greatest pleasure.

3. Protection

Moreover, by them is Your servant warned.
It’s a source of protection. In the face of temptation and sin and ignorance, we need the Word. It protects us. We hide it that we might not sin.

4. Profit

It’s the source of the greatest profit, for in keeping of its truths there is great reward. The true reward is not here and now!
The true reward is the obedience to Scripture that brings about the glory to come. Instead of living for what we can amass here and now, we need to know the blessedness of living for the eternal reward.

5. Purification.

The word of is a purifier. The psalmist even as he is going through all of this, he says, “Who can understand his errors.”

Why would you ever violate that which can transform you?
Why would you ever leave which make you wise?
Why would you not fill your heart with joy?
Why would you not read which enlighten your eyes?
Why would you not purify your heart with this Word?
Why would you approach the who supplies will things comprehensively?
Why would you ever violate such truth?

How can I understand that?
Let us finish with this prayer
V14, Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Election : The Election of Priests, Kings, and Disciples The Election of Messiah and Angels The Election of Jerusalem The Election of False Gods and Foolish Things The Election of Israel The “Few Chosen” Are Israelites The Elect in the Tribulation The Elect in Peter’s Epistles Are Jewish Elect but Not Saved The Elect in Romans Are Israelites Election of Grace Foreknowledge The Remaining Verses of Election Conclusion Basic Theology: Election Part 01 Video Basic Theology: Election Part 02 Video Election The predestination by which God adopts some to the hope of life, and adjudges others to eternal death, no man who would be thought pious ventures simply to deny…By predestination, we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he determined with himself whatever he wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we sa...

Jesus Christ Second Coming – Lesson 02  Jewish Wedding Previous: Lesson 01 Jesus relied on the ancient Jewish wedding pattern for many of His parables. Matthew 22:1-14(Parable of the Wedding Feast) and Matthew 25:1-13 (Parable of the Wise and Foolish virgins) So here we are going to look at how a traditional Jewish wedding took place when Jesus was on the earth. Please do remember our Lord came in the Jewish family and He is a Jew!! Whether you like it or not!! Please do travel with me to the middle east to the first century and let us study the customs so that we will have a clear understanding of what the Lord Jesus Christ meant when He spoke about His coming. We, the church is the Bride of Christ, He is our bridegroom. 1. Ketubah or Betrothal Was the first step in the establishment of the marriage covenant. 2. Bridegroom takes the initiative The prospective bridegroom took the initiative in informing his father about the bride. Father takes his son for a few days away with him a...
