The great irony - the Jews who were very religious, did not find righteousness. The Gentiles who were not pursuing it, found it. Why? Because of God's electing mercy. Salvation is of the Lord, not of man. Christ is an offense to both Jew and Greek, and the only thing that makes it different is the electing call and mercy of God.

The New Testament shows us the mystery meanings of the Old Testament, all of which are brought about in New Testament times and all of which point to Christ. Just as there was a small remnant that returned from Babylon (Isaiah 10:20-23), Isaiah is also pointing to the remnant from Jews and Gentiles who are saved only by God's merciful election.

A faithful messenger is a blessing! May we be found to be such messengers for the Lord. https://bbfohio.com

Psalm 18:46–50 brings the psalm to its doxological close, as the psalmist declares the Lord's living presence, his vengeance over enemies, and his covenant faithfulness to David and his descendants. This exposition of the psalm's concluding verses draws out the christological and eschatological dimensions of David's victory song, showing how the deliverer-king points forward to the greater Son of David. Main points: - the living God exalted as rock and saviour - God's sovereign subduing of enemies beneath his anointed - the doxological conclusion — praise among the nations and mercy to David's line forevermore Scripture references: - Psalms 18:31–50 - Romans 15:9 - 2 Corinthians 1:20 - 2 Timothy 2:12 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-psalm-18-the-deliverance-of-the-psalmist-part-4 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

To be involved in Christ's glorious cause of truth and righteousness is a great privilege which has been given to all His people. To overcome the spiritual forces of darkness that hinder the advance of His kingdom, we must pray. We know that together with the exercise of the graces of faith, hope, and love, which we have been given by Christ Himself, that prayer is our greatest spiritual responsibility. We know this because of the comprehensive language of the verse 18; the "alls" of the text. 1st – The words "praying always". 2nd – The words "with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit". 3rd – The words "being watchful with all perseverance". And 4th – The words "for all the saints". Let me open them up for you one at a time.
