What Shall I Render

We may think or feel as if we need to accomplish or wait on some great feat to be performed, but God has given us the word about His feat, His performance, to heal us! (Jer 15:18; Isa 53; Rom 10)

Seeking, knowing, and trusting Christ we find all we ever wanted!

All of God's promises are secure in Christ (2Cor 1:20), we are tempted to trust in the flesh or ourselves. There is no victory in self.

Paul warns the Philippians to watch out for false teaching which would offer false confidence. Confidence not in Christ but in the flesh (Php 3:1-3).

God's call for faith has never been about what is merely outward and physical. God's call is to our hearts.

God has never called for faith that is in man's flesh, man's accomplishments. The call of faith is to the heart (Php 3:1-6)

If we can listen to scripture first to understand, then we can see more clearly how to application.

The mindset formed by the gospel saves us from trusting ourselves and seeing others from a worldly point of view.

God has given us the gospel to direct our minds and secure our hearts on things above, not on earthly things (Php 3:17-21).

We can learn how to study so we can understand scripture correctly, but one of the best tools we can have is an open and willing heart (Matt 13:11-15).
