Title: Ephesians4:4-6, One hope of your calling: Eternal Reward, 1Co 3:1-17, part 7.

Tuesday February 2, 2021

There have been several instances in history where people were gathered into city-states or nations or empires from which innovation in science and thought have produced what we would call a high civilization. In the West we look back to Greek thought and art and to Roman government and law. East and West, high civilizations, though they possessed science, art, literature, and law, at the same time they showed their utter impotence of these alone to bless and save the world.

1Co 3:1-5

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? 4 For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of...

In the world where hate seems to continue to increase, and love grows cold, as Paul prophesied would characterize the end times, we must be careful to remain on the heavenly plain in our thinking and in the emotions of our heart.

A line from Joseph at the end of the Book of Genesis summarizes the entire book, and at some level summarizes the plan of God for human history - "Man meant evil but God meant it for good."

In our Lord's teaching about rewards and treasure in heaven, we have looked at parts of the Sermon on the Mount and some of His parables.

From the Sermon: If you are persecuted like I was, you are blessed; and rejoice, for your reward in heaven is great. If you love as I loved you will be extraordinary. If you practice your righteousness (giving, praying, serving) in secret, your Father who sees in secret (alone sees what you do) will repay you. He told us to be gracious and give...
