Basic Theology: Sufficiency of Scriptures Part 05 - Judgement of the Lord

 6. Judgement of the Lord

Previous: 6. Judgement of the Lord

V9, The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

The Word of God called as “the judgments” or “the ordinances” means divine verdicts.

So we have

Divine verdicts from the bench of the judge of all the earth.

The Bible is God’s judicial determination for the life of man and eternal destiny from the eternally supreme judge.

“His Word is true.”
How hard it is for people in our society or in any part of the planet earth to find truth?
Do you know what a battle it is to discover truth?
God has given us His Word that is true.
It’s always true.

Hence, the Word of God is always
    ✓ dependable,
    ✓ relevant, and
    ✓ applicable.

    ✓ If the Word of God is sufficient for salvation,
    ✓ If it is sufficient to perfectly transform the soul of a person,
    ✓ If it is sufficient for all the skills of spiritual living,
    ✓ If it is sufficient to bring full joy to overcome the sorrows and struggles of life,
    ✓ If it is sufficient to bring understanding to the dark things hard to see,
    ✓ If it is sufficient to purify all sin, and

Then it’s always true!
Then the Word of God got to be the source of everything in spiritual living.

Result of the truthfulness of Scripture: it is altogether righteous!
It is a complete comprehensive sufficient source of truth.

Deuteronomy 4:2, You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

You better not add anything, or you better not take anything away.
Why?
This is altogether comprehensive and complete.

Revelation 22:18-19, For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

When God gives instructions to the king how he ought to live to receive the blessings from the Lord

Deuteronomy 17:19-20, And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes, 20 that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.

Do you need to believe that we need more revelation?
The Word of God is sufficient.

Psalms 119:89, Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.

Psalms 119:128,
Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way.

Psalms 119:137- 138, Righteous are You, O Lord, And upright are Your judgments. 138 Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful.

Psalms 119:142, Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth.

Psalms 119:151, You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth.

Psalms 119:160, The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

Basic Theology: Election

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.
