Title-s-- 1. Put that on my account, 2. Begotten while in my chains, 3. The runaway sinners--1. God never tires from preaching the gospel.--2. The book of Philemon is a gospel letter. It is couched on the doctrines of God's salvation.--3. God determined to preach Christ again through this story of a run-away slave, Onesimus.--4. In his escape God caused Onesimus to stumble upon Paul in Rome where Paul was a prisoner.--5. And Paul still in chains preached the gospel to Philemon and as it were begotten him even as his son-own child.--6. And Paul sought to reconcile Onesimus back to his master, but using the testimony of the gospel to accomplish the reconciliation. And this is the PROPER WAY TO work Indicatives and imperatives. Commands to the redeemed should be drawn from the gospel. --7. Onesimus must be returned to his master not as a slave, but one who has the same standing as him and that UNCONDITIONALLY.--8. And Paul labored to say, if Onesimus owed anything to Philemon, Paul himself would make payment. Whatever was owed would be put to Paul's account, which means Paul became surety to Onesimus.--9. But in all the writing, Paul's point was gospel. If Philemon had been forgiven by God's grace, then he should also accept Philemon back unconditionally.--10. Paul was a type of Christ in this. And listen to the message to hear more gospel nuggets.--11. They are free.
