This week on the website: August 15, 2020
This week, we covered Jack’s study on Romans with Part 11 & 12.
An excerpt from part 11:
Love, for the day is near…
According to Matt. 5&6 these commandments are either obeyed out of the motivations of our hearts or they are not obeyed at all. They weren’t meant to train us to perform acts of outward obedience, like a dog or a seal, but to develop hearts full of love and respect for others, just as the Lord’s heart is full of love and respect for us. Love your neighbor as yourself. When the lawyer asked Him, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied with the parable of the Good Samaritan, instructing us to go and do likewise. (Luke 10:29-37)
and:
Your life is changing dramatically. All the rules are different and many seem counter-intuitive:
Give with no thought of receiving and you’ll receive more than you give. (Luke 6:38)
Put yourself last and you’ll become first. (Matt. 20:16)
Sacrifice your life in order to keep it. (Luke 17:33)
Don’t focus on what you can see, but on what you can’t. (2 Cor. 4:18) And on it goes.
In chapters 12-15 Paul has provided the guide to playing by these new rules. Master them and begin playing to win while there’s time. Let’s read on.
