Title: Names of God; part 38. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

1Jo 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us [perfect tense: it is our permanent possession], 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.

1Jo 3:3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

1Jo 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

1Jo 3:5 And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins;...

1Jo 3:3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

The faith and therefore hope of being in the image of Christ arouses the determination to be pure like Him.

In contrast to the Christian whose hope is upon the...

Title: Names of God; part 34. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

Christianity first came into a Jewish world that was framed with a Jewish world view.

As we know, this world view centered around the works of the law which was accompanied by the oral law of the rabbis and its meaning was man attaining righteousness through attaining and keeping those laws.

The area of what was to become known as Palestine lied at the center of the trade routes from Egypt to Assyria (Iran) and from Arabia to Asia Minor which led to the Continent. Palestine was constantly fought over and was ever a place of greed, wars, and seedy politics. The moral cult developed by the Jews from misinterpreting the Mosaic law and their oral law gave them an identity separate from all others who took turns ruling...

We owe our entire lives to Christ. We are in Him forever. We are His bride, His brothers and sisters, His servants, and He is our truest friend loving us more than anyone else and more than we...

Title: Names of God; part 32. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

We have concluded our work in Eph 2.

Eph 2: In grace we receive all things from God and in grace we work the works of God from that tremendous position of strength and wisdom.

1Co 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am [I am His workmanship], and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

Paul could be saying that he was more diligent than the others in his faith to follow the Lord and do His works, or he may just mean that by grace, he was given more...

Title: Names of God; part 31. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

We must draw a line of resistance in training our appetites, a line of dependence upon God, and a line of wisdom in true understanding.

Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

We do not do the works to become God's workmanship. We are made what we are by means of grace through the sacrifice of our Lord and as such we then walk in the works foreordained.

We are to walk in them. The locative is used, which gives the idea of a sphere.

"walk in them" - locative of sphere - We are always surrounded by the possibility that a divine work will come upon us and open...

Title: Names of God; part 30. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

Eph 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)

"By grace you have been saved in past time completely, with the result that you are in a state of salvation which persists through present time." [full and complete translation]

Eph 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus,

Eph 2:7 in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Eph...

Title: Names of God; part 29. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

Eph 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)

"By grace you have been saved in past time completely, with the result that you are in a state of salvation which persists through present time." [full and complete translation]

The unending state of the believer in salvation could not have been put in stronger or clearer language. The finished results of the past act of salvation are always present within us and they affect everything we think, say, and do.

Our present state of salvation is dependent upon...
