Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - Resisting temptation in order to perform good.

Christ has made us complete. He has also commanded that we abide in Him.

1Jo 2:27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him (baptism of the Spirit) abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

1Jo 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from...

Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - Resisting temptation in order to perform good.

1Jo 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.

Unlike our current physical eyes, our resurrected physical...

Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide": confidence.

1Jo 2:27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him (baptism of the Spirit) abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit (anointing) changes the believer forever. It abides in him and that means that his regeneration cannot be undone or changed.

This is the most wonderful, good news. The gospel, the good news, is that the work of Christ changes men forever, by grace, through faith, not of works lest any man should boast. At the moment you believed, God the...

Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide": Command - abide in Him.

Christ said that He went to heaven to prepare a place for us and then He said that place would with us if we love Him.

There is a question asked by Judas (not Iscariot) that leads Christ to say this.

Joh 14:18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Joh 14:19 "After a little while the world will behold Me no more; but you will behold Me; because I live, you shall live also....

Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - what is life?

The apostle John likely impacted Asia after the death of Paul. Polycarp places John in Ephesus and states that he died there. Paul stated that all in Asia had deserted him, which shows us that Gnosticism had poisoned the whole area. John's first epistle addresses the same issue a number of years after Paul's death, which reveals that Christianity had surged again, but also that the attacks of false doctrine also continued.

I think this reveals that throughout the history of the church sound...

Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - no compromise.

We left off with the attacks against the truth by Satan. We must remember that Satan's goal is not to remove Jesus and the Bible from the world, but to diminish their value.

The most effective attacks against Christ and the gospel acknowledge them while claiming they are not sufficient to save.

1Jo 2:24 As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning (the doctrines you heard at the start over the falsehoods that came later). If what you heard from the...

Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - Satan's schemes.

We abide:

In Him (2:6) - walk as He walked

In light (2:10) - loves his brother

The word (2:14) and the foundational doctrines of Christ (2:24) abides in us.

The first one is a claim of a consistent lifestyle. The second is a fact of the one who loves his brother. The word must abide in us if we are to have any spiritual power to apply to life, and since there are so many lies propagated by the kingdom of darkness concerning the person and work of Christ, the foundational doctrines of Christology and Soteriology...

Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - the word and the Spirit in you; not lies.

We abide:

In Him (2:6) - walk as He walked

In light (2:10) - loves his brother

The word (2:14) and the baptism of the Spirit (2:27) abides in us.

The first one is a claim of a consistent lifestyle. The second is a fact of the one who loves his brother. The word and the Spirit abiding are also stated as facts; the abiding word to the consistent learner, and the abiding Spirit to all believers.

It is a fact that the Spirit abides in every believer and His ministry to the believer is ever...

Title: Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - loving your brother.

Jesus speaking to Nicodemus, who came to Jesus during the night to inquire of Him, sees right through him, for Jesus knows what is in the heart of man, Joh 2:24, and Jesus bluntly goes to the point and stated,

Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

"see" - oida = to see, perceive, or fully know. Man is inherently incapable of apprehending the kingdom of God. Light is the...

Ruth 4:8-12. Final chapter - Our home with Christ in the word "abide" - loving your brother.

God speaks through Isaiah about what He considers to be called fasting - loving your neighbor.

Our Lord said, Mat 6:16 "And whenever you fast [love your neighbor, as we will see], do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance in order to be seen fasting by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

Isa 58:1...
