Morning: January 18, 2004
Text: Romans 8:33-34 "Who
shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth. 34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ
that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of
God, who also maketh intercession for us."
Romans
2:6-9 "Who will render [pay, reward]
to every man according to his deeds: 7. To them who by patient continuance
in well doing seek for glory (reward) and honour (reward)
and immortality [incorruption, (reward)], eternal life
(the reward): 8. But unto them that are contentious,
and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation (reward)
and wrath (reward), 9. Tribulation (reward)
and anguish (reward), upon every soul of man that doeth evil,
of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;"
2
Corinthians 5:10-11 "For we must
all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive (a reward for) the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad
[evil]. 11. Knowing (the judgment for evil) therefore the terror
[fear] of the Lord, we persuade (saved who are called) men; . .
."
Romans
8:1 "There is therefore now
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

Galatians
5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
1
Corinthians 3:13-15 "Every man's
work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because
it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of
what sort it is. 14. If any man's work abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15. If any man's work shall
be burned, he shall suffer loss [receive damage]: but he
himself shall be saved; yet so as by [through] fire."
John
5:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He
that heareth [present active] my word, and believeth [present
active] on him (the Father) that sent me, hath [regardeth]
everlasting [age] life, and shall not come [present
middle] into condemnation [judgment]; but is passed [perfect active,
has passed] from death [thanatos] unto life."
John
3:18 "He that believeth [present
active] on him is not condemned [present active, being judged]:
but he that believeth [present active] not is condemned
[perfect passive] already, because he hath not believed [perfect
active] in the name (the Word of God, Rev 19:13) of the only
begotten Son of God."
Romans
8:33-34 "Who shall lay any thing to the
charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34. Who
is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather,
that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us."

before the world began,"
1

Romans
8:33-34 "Who shall lay any thing to the
charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34. Who is

for us."

Timothy 2:9-13 "Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil
doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10. Therefore
I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal [age]
glory. 11. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him: 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign
with him: if we (the elect) deny him, he also will
deny us: 13. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny himself."
Luke
12:43-45 "Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44. Of a truth I say
unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45. But and if that servant say in his heart, My
lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens,
and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;" (we can know that we are
called but not elect)
2 Peter
1:10-11 "Wherefore the
rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election
sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11. For
so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
2 Peter
1:4-7 "Whereby are
given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by
these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust. 5. And beside this, giving
all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience;
and to patience godliness; 7. And to godliness brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness charity [love]."
Philippians
3:10-15 "That I may
know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship
of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death [thanatos,
in the garden]; 11. If by any means I might attain
unto the [out] resurrection of the dead (those that perish).
12. Not as though I had already attained, either were
already perfect: but I follow [pursue] after, if that I may
apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13. Brethren,
I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing
I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, 14. I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15. Let
us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be
otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you."
