This morning I am speaking on 'Forgiving One Another.' As I read through the Gospel's the Lord put a great deal of emphasis the brethren loving one another, that being evidenced by their forgiving one another. Jesus, on the Sermon on the Mount, gave special attention to this problem in the form of judging others and in His example on prayer. Every N.T. book speaks of how we are to love and forgive one another. In fact, loving the brethren is a unique mark or trait that gives evidence that we are born from above, that we are even Christians. If we cannot forgive a brother his trespass, what makes us think we are Christians?

Why should we think our church is exempt from any condemnation? What makes us think that we are better, more spiritual, more obedient to the heavenly commands then these to whom John wrote? Our churches must be rebuked from time to time because of our failings to be obedient to the heavenly commands.

1. When the Scripture expresses the Holy Trinity as the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, it presents them in them as Self-Existent and Self-Sufficient, and immutable in themselves, complete and in absolute equality. When the Heavenly Man, Christ Jesus, is presented as dependent upon the Father this is ONLY IN HIS SACRED AND HEAVENLY HUMANITY. He is not dependent upon the Father in His Deity any more than the Father is dependent on the LOGOS in His deity. The same is true of the Holy Spirit. Each Divine Being is Sufficient within Himself in His essential and eternal Divine essence.

These young people will not listen to advice from their parents of others who have wisdom. They will do what their hearts desire, they think that know what is best. Even if they profess to be Christians they will violate every Biblical principle in pursuit for what they believe to be best or true. They are guided by their heart, thus their feelings and not by their head or reason. Many are the sins of the young

a. Without the ministry of truth there is no love of the brethren and of God. b. Without the ministry of truth there is no true worship of God. c. Without the ministry of truth there is no holiness of life or assurance of salvation. d. Without the ministry of truth Christ does not manifest himself to us. e. Without the ministry of truth the educated man is ignorant. f. Without the ministry of truth the wise man is a fool.

Today we have ways of accurately predicting weather but in Biblical times one day may bring warmth but the very next extreme cold with no warning. What famers did was based on seasons not on weather forecast. Here we have the farmer that is observing the wind and the clouds.

Another privilege we have in baptism, is through the faith of the operation of God, have fellowship with Christ, in His death and resurrection and by that power the strength of the body of sin is more subdued, that is brought into subjection, and we are more enabled to walk in newness of life.

Privilege Two: By baptism we enter in a Particular Gospel church and its privileges. 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Believers have baptism as the only means to enter into the fellowship of His Body, which is His Church, with all the privileges and liberties. Baptism is that only orderly entrance which God has appointed for believers into the fellowship of the Church of Christ

First as He is the Father, the Word (LOGOS), and the Holy Spirit. In the second as it relates to men and their redemption as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. I will be answering a number of questions that people often have concerning this Trinity of Beings such as, in what form was Jesus before his incarnation: was he spirit or did he have an actual spiritual body, a heavenly body? Is the LOGOS just another name for Jesus? When Jesus rose from the dead he appeared in a human body, but it was not the body he had before His resurrection.

Why preachers are not salesman.
