Peace to my dear brothers and sisters in God’s family! Amen
Let’s open the Bible to 1 Corinthians 15 verses 3-4 and read them together: What I also delivered to you is: first, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that he was buried; and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. If we died with Christ, we will also live with Him; 2 Timothy 2:11
Today we study, fellowship, and share the Pilgrim’s Progress together intermittently "Experiencing death, life begins in you" No. 7 Speak and offer a prayer: Dear Abba Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that the Holy Spirit is always with us! Amen. Thank you Lord! The virtuous woman [the church] sends out workers: through the word of truth written and spoken in their hands, which is the gospel of your salvation and your glory and the redemption of your body. Food is transported from the sky from afar and supplied to us at the right time to make our spiritual life richer! Amen. Ask the Lord Jesus to continue to illuminate the eyes of our souls and open our minds to understand the Bible so that we can hear and see your words, which are spiritual truths→ Understand that we take up our cross and experience death so that the life of Jesus can be revealed in us! Amen.
The above prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, and blessings! I ask this in the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen
1. It is no longer me who lives, it is Christ who lives for me.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21.
ask: Now it is no longer me who lives → Who lives?
answer: It is Christ who lives in me → "lives" for me → because I live is Christ; I live → live out Adam, a sinner, and a slave of sin; Christ "lives" for me, living out the holiness and holiness of Christ. Out of the glory of God the Father. Amen! →So “Paul” said in Philippians 1:21 →For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. So, do you understand?
Two: We suffer with Him, and we will be glorified with Him
ask: "Sufferers with Christ" Purpose "What is it?"
answer: Detailed explanation below
(1) We are destined to suffer hardships
We must go through many difficulties to enter the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22
So that no one will be shaken by various tribulations. For you yourselves know that it is destined for us to suffer tribulation. 1 Thessalonians 3:3
(2) Great joy amidst all kinds of trials
Consider it all joy when you face trials of many kinds, knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. But let perseverance also have success, so that you, "us," may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4
Be joyful in hope; be patient in tribulation; be persevering in prayer. Romans 12:12
(3) Suffering the physical body and breaking away from sin
Since the Lord suffered in the flesh, you should also use this kind of mentality as a weapon, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. Reference (1 Peter Chapter 4:1)
(4) Let us be glorified!
If they are children, then they are heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. If we suffer with Him, we will also be glorified with Him. Romans 8:17
Note: If you suffer in the world by killing people, peeping, doing evil, and being nosy, you are suffering by yourself. The suffering of your own decline is not suffering for the way of the Lord. There is no glory in these sufferings. So, is it clear?
But let no one among you suffer because he murders, steals, does evil, or is a meddler. Reference (1 Peter 4:15)
3. Put on the whole armor of God
Put on the whole armor of God, so that you can stand against the devil's schemes. …
1 use truth as a belt to gird up the waist,
2 use justice Use it as a breast shield to cover your chest,
3 Use again Safety The gospel should be put on your feet as shoes to prepare you for walking.
4 In addition, holding Faith As a shield to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one;
5 and put on salvation helmet,
6 hold Holy Spirit His sword is the word of God;
7 Relying on the Holy Spirit, always ready in all ways pray for ; and be watchful and untiring in this, praying for all the saints. Refer to Ephesians 6:10-18
4. Experience the way of the Lord → Life will start in you
(1) Believe in the gospel of salvation
What I also received and passed on to you: First, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, being freed from sin, from the law, and from the curse of the law, and was buried, putting off the old man and the curse of the law. The behavior of the old man; and according to the Bible, he was resurrected on the third day → so that we can be justified, reborn, resurrected, saved, and have eternal life. Amen! 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
(2) Believe that the old man is dead
For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, appears, you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:3-4
(3)Experience the way of the Lord
" die "Actuate in us,
" born "But it works in you. Reference (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
Take up your cross daily and follow Jesus:
1 take the way of the cross →Destroy the body of sin,
2 Take the spiritual path →Talk about spiritual things,
3 Take the road to heaven →Preach the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.
first stage " Believe in death "Believe in the sinner, die; believe in the new, live,
second stage " See death "Behold the old man die; behold the new man live,
The third stage " Hate to death "Hate your own life and keep it to eternal life,
Stage 4 " think die "Want to be physically united with Christ and crucified to destroy the body of sin,
fifth stage " return to death "Buried with Him through baptism into death,
Stage six " start dead ". Revealing the life of Jesus,
Stage 7 " experience Death". Life is at work in you.
"" experience death "→→The "sinful body" of the old man gradually deteriorated and its outer body was destroyed due to selfish desires.
" Experience life " Newcomer "In Christ" the heart is being renewed day by day and is growing into an adult, full of the stature of Christ! Amen!
【 Note: 】 →→The seventh stage is the stage of preaching the gospel and preaching the truth.
ask: why no. seven The stage is the evangelism stage?
answer: To preach the gospel at this stage is to "experience death"; to "experience life". " letter "die" to " experience "Death" → There is no you, only the Lord! It is no longer you who live → Your lustful thoughts and thoughts will be taken off;* letter Live*to" experience "Live" → The treasure is placed in the earthen vessel to be revealed, to reveal the life of Jesus! It is the treasure" Holy Spirit "Put it in an earthen vessel to preach the gospel and fax the word! Baby" Holy Spirit "It is a testimony for Jesus, and it is the life of Jesus that is revealed→→ Let people believe in the gospel and gain eternal life ; Not to show your own fleshly lusts, intelligence, wisdom, and eloquence.
This way, baby" Holy Spirit "Only the preached gospel has power and the true way can be revealed! Once you have a thorough understanding of your mind, you will be able to distinguish between good and evil→→No longer be confused by "sin", nor by the devil's tricks and deceptive spells, nor by all worldly things. Shaken by doctrine, by the winds of heresy, by heresies.
If your experience of the Lord’s way of faith has not reached this stage and you have not gone out to preach the gospel, those who preach “ via "Using worldly doctrines and human philosophy will refute you, leaving you speechless, and the gospel you preach will be ineffective. As for new believers who want to lead their family, friends, and colleagues to know Jesus Christ, It is best to bring them to the church in the Lord Jesus Christ and let the workers sent by the church teach and lead them to know the true way of the gospel. Amen! Do you understand this?
