Kenya 2024 - 5 No harlot here --Preached 07-08-2024, Oloitoktok, Kenya-Text- Genesis 39--Other titles- 1. Who made you pregnant-- --1. 2 messages were preached from the Old Testament on this day- Jacob and Esau and then Judah and Tamar.--2. And we continued with our gospel themes of what makes a sinner righteous before God.--3. How a sinner is made or declared to be righteous by or before God is the whole matter for which Christ was revealed.--4. And God had been laboring to teach the simplicity and truth of this matter from the Old Testament stories.--5. And in the story of Judah and Tamar, a seemingly EARTHY STORY that is embarrassing to many by reason of their own sense of righteousness, God was declaring the story and manner of our redemption -justification-.--6. The story answers many things that a sinner is faced with -fruitfulness towards God and their justification-, but in a very straight forward way and yet hidden from the wise and the prudent.--7. How did Tamar escape the condemnation of her father-in-law, Judah-- If we can answer that from the story, then we have answered our own problems before God, because that was God's way of salvation. I will say it again, conditionalism is rife in much of what passes for sovereign grace gospel.--8. But God will only recognize such things for salvation as He gave, not what we bring to Him, our faith or works of obedience.--9. Listen carefully and this will be a blessing and IT IS FREE-
