The Priceless Gospel, One That Is Truly Binding

Watch
Listen

After listening to many messages, we need to uprightly ask ourselves these questions: 1. What is gospel to you? 2. How precious is this gospel to you? (are you willing to give up your personal desires just to pursue it? How much do you need it?) 3. Are you bound to this gospel like the silken fetter? A real and progressive faith-living is one that is constantly experiencing AND confirming the work of Holy Spirit inside us. To a born again man, the gospel is not mere knowledge but the heart of God, i.e. constantly loving, tearing down the old self and rebuilding the new thinking and living system in us. This is because the working of God in people He loves is like "Silken fetters", "binding" our hearts to His love and leading, so that we are walking closer and closer with Him, and desiring to be in sync with His heart more and more. Therefore, ask yourself, is the gospel you have come to know - one that is truly binding? A gospel that is truly binding is not cheap nor easy, instead, it is priceless, the truth, and sometimes giving us difficult moments and putting us in paradoxical situations - yet with it comes the glory of God, crown of life and inner strength from the power of Holy Spirit to walk through each difficult moments.

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
Perspective different (opposite) from God.
Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
Bad choices come with consequences.
How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

A choice based on faith.
– Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
– Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
Faith gives rise to simple heart.
Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
– Prayer-centered living
Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
