THE GIFT OF GOD
Sunday Morning:
January 14, 2001
1 Corinthians 7:7
"For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his
proper gift [carisma]
of God, one after this manner, and another after that."
2 Timothy 1:6
"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift
[carisma]
of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands."
Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest
any man should boast."
Ephesians 2:8
"For by grace (singular) are ye [endure,
see Mark 4.17] saved (plural perfect participle, an adjective
describing those who endure: having been saved) through faith
(singular); and that not of yourselves: it is the gift [dwron, singular in number and in agreement with grace]
of God:"
John 4:10
"Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift [dwrea] of God, and who it is that saith to
thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have
given thee living water."
John 4:13-14
"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water
shall thirst again: 14. But whosoever drinketh of the (living,
v. 10) water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the
(living) water that I shall give him shall be in him a well
of water springing up into [eis, leading to] everlasting [age] life (preferred
life in the Millennial age)."
THE
GIFT OF GOD
Romans 6:22-23
"But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have
your fruit unto [leading to] holiness, and the
end everlasting life.
SERVANTS RECEIVE WAGES
23.
For
the wages of (the servant of) sin is death (loss
of preferred life in the Millennium); but the gift [carisma,
grace gift]
of God is eternal life (preferred) through
Jesus Christ our Lord."
John 3:3
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again [from above], he cannot see
the kingdom of God."
John 1:12
"But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons [mature
children] of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
A CHILD, THEN AN HEIR
Romans 8:17
"And if children [mature children], then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be
that we suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified together."
Luke 18:16-18
“But Jesus called them (little children) unto him,
and said, Suffer little children [paidion]
to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
THEY KNOW THE FATHER
1 John 2:13
". . . I write unto you, little
children [paidion], because ye have known the Father."
FATHER REVEALED TO THEM
Luke 10:22
". . . no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who
the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom (to little
children) the Son will reveal him."
17.
Verily I say unto
you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child shall in no wise enter therein. 18. And a certain
ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit
eternal [agelasting] life (enter the kingdom of God)?”
Galatians 3:18
"For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no
more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise."

"When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by
their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance
to Joshua the son of Nun . . . :"
Ezekiel 46:16-17
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto
any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons';
it shall be their possession by inheritance. 17. But if he
give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants,
then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the
prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them."
Numbers 33:54
"And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance
among your families: . . . every man's inheritance shall
be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers
ye shall inherit."
CASTING OF LOT

"The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing
thereof is of the LORD."
Acts 13:48
"And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the
word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."
Romans 5:15
"But not as the offence, so also is the free gift
[carisma, grace gift]. For if through the offence of one [the]
many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift [dwrea]
by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath (the gift,
dwrea,
by grace)
abounded unto [the] many."
Acts 2:38-39
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost.
39.
For the promise
[singular with the definite article] is unto you, and to your children,
and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call."
1 John 2:25
"And this is the promise that he hath promised us,
even eternal life."
Acts 2:33
"Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise [singular with
the definite article] of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear."
Matthew 20:15-16
"Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16. So the last shall be
first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."
1 Thessalonians 2:12
"That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto
his kingdom and glory."
Acts 8:18
"And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles'
hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,"
Matthew 10:5-7 "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the
Samaritans enter ye not: 6. But go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. 7. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom
of heaven is at hand."
Acts 8:20
"But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast
thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money."
Acts 10:42
"And he commanded us to preach (Matthew 10:5-7) unto the people
(Israel only), and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be
the Judge of quick and dead."
EVIDENCE OF THE GIFT OF GOD

as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was
poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost."
