His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
그러므로 여러분이 이것들을 알고 또 여러분이 이미 받은 진리 안에 굳게 서 있다 해도 나는 여러분들로 하여금 항상 이것들을 기억하게 하려 합니다.
내가 이 육신의 장막에 사는 동안에는 여러분을 일깨워 기억하게 하는 것이 옳다고 생각합니다.
Ephesians Church
나는 네 행위들과 네 수고와 네 인내를 안다. 또 네가 악한 사람들을 참지 못하는 것과 자칭 사도라고 하는 사람들을 시험해 그들이 사도가 아니라 가짜들이라는 것을 밝혀낸 것을 안다.
또 네가 인내하는 것과 내 이름을 위해 수고하되 게으르지 않다는 것을 내가 안다.
And then He says about this church, "And you cannot bear them who are evil." This is a church that was intolerant of sin, a church that suppressed evil, a church involved in discipline, a church not only teaching but training, not only giving the principles of behavior but conforming its people to that behavior. And we're committed to that, too, aren't we? And then He says, not only that, He says, you have tried them who say they are apostles and are not and have found them liars. It was a church with such a substantial theology that it could unmask false doctrine and such courage that it would unmask a false prophet and put him right out. I mean, this is a strong group.
In verse 3, And, if you will, look at verse 3. You have endured and have patience and for My name’s sake have labored and not fainted. This is perseverance. They really pursued it. And they endured. And they were self-sacrificing. And the goal of all of it, I love this in verse 3, was “for My name’s sake.” Everything they did they did for the glory of God. Sound familiar? These are the things upon which this church has been established; diligent, aggressive, faithful, hardworking people who steadfastly will take a stand courageously against its resistance, who will be willing to be intolerant of sin and suppress it by discipline, who are spiritually discerning and have a substantial theology by which false prophecy and false prophets are revealed, a church that will endure and live and work for the glory of God.
Settle into the ministry of remembrance
그러나 네가 잘한 것이 있으니 네가 니골라 당이 하는 짓들을 미워하는구나. 나도 그것을 미워한다.
But in spite all of that, they had lost it. They couldn’t settle into the ministry of remembrance. The honeymoon has been glorious. it’s inconceivable what God has done in this place. But it’s time we got our second wind. I believe that what God has ahead for us is even greater than what we’ve seen in the past. He is still albe to do exceeding abundantly above all we could think or ask.
그리스도께서 하나님의 신성한 능력을 따라 생명과 경건에 속한 모든 것을 우리에게 주셨습니다. 이는 하나님의 영광과 덕으로 우리를 부르신 그분을 아는 지식으로 말미암은 것입니다.
우리 안에서 역사하시는 능력을 따라 우리가 구하고 생각하는 모든 것보다 훨씬 더 넘치도록 하실 수 있는 분에게
그리스도 안에는 신성의 모든 충만이 육체의 모습으로 거합니다.
그리고 여러분도 그리스도 안에서 충만하게 됐습니다. 그리스도는 모든 권력과 권세의 머리이십니다.
나는 여러분의 사랑이 지혜와 모든 총명으로 더욱 풍성하게 돼서
그분은 우리에게 보배롭고 지극히 큰 약속들을 주셨는데 이는 이것들을 통해 여러분이 세상의 정욕 가운데 썩어져 가는 것을 피하고 신의 성품에 참여하는 사람들이 되게 하려는 것입니다.
The riches of our reservation, understanding who we are in Christ and what we possess in Christ. Has it divine power has given unto us what or incredible statement when you became a believer you came in to position of all that potential life and Godliness. When you were born, you were born like a baby.
Many things that if you can expand your mind to press them will be infinite cause for joy first of all the source of this is a divine power and what is talking about is an allergy resource you talk about power this is a eternal power the power that put the stars into space the power that created the universe, the power of God there is a utterly unlimited. Is divine power this overwhelming eternal energy is a concentrated in providing for you. Everything you need. It amazes me you know to go around the country and to meet Christians, who are an informed about their potential and they do around in the shallows with no concept, shooting for the moon They don’t understand the power of God.
He has a given to us or things that pertain through life and godliness are two things. Life is the life of God in the soul of a man. That is internal. This is the manifestation of the life as external. When you were redeemed the reality of your celebration, granted to you the richest of your salvation, which meant that salvation provided everything to transform you on the inside and to transform you on the outside celebration and the capacity to work it out we have all things that pertain not only to our life, go to godliness.
When you came into that knowledge when you came into that real salvation, it was a utterly and eternally comprehensive, and you came into the position of all that was needed for a real transformation on the inside and a real manifestation of the transformation on the outside.
Glory is it an internal the glory of God in the soul of man in the world, glory of God godliness is on the outside and Virtue on the outside or the external. The point is this the guy has given us all we need for the internal and all we need for the external because he hasn’t called us to internal glory and external virtue created in Christ to want what good works inside and outside you hear people talk about saving faith and if you mean, some kind of faith that redeemed you, but to anything else for you, there is no such thing. There is only one kind of faith, living faith it redeemed you and it sustain you in a life of a response to God, it follows them where there is a life and there is godliness. It follows while there is a glory that is virtue and you have everything you need for that if your life isn’t not virtuous and godly it is not the absence of resources is the absence of your will.
Having begun in the spirit, Are we perfect in the fresh we believe in God this whole day started in the spirit and it started by faith and we are leaving by way one day at a time and we believe that’s the way God wants us to live in our absolute dependence on him by faith. We believe God to raise a creator testimony we believe God to raise a great mystery bring more people into the King out to preach and teach the serve. We play for the fun and the facilities and whatever it takes to do the work he wants us to do. We believe God for that and God has always proven himself to throw things he desire to perform.
The word virtue, ‘aret’ means excellence of life. It’s a very rare word in the Bible, but it’s a common word in secular Greek and it referred to proper fulfillment of something. The best thing that students can do is to study and the best thing that a horse can do is run fast. An excellence means that the best thing that Christian can do is to fulfill all that the Christian can be. An all that a man can be, is to be like Christ. That is the excellence and the virtue.
So you add to a life of faith, the excellence of Christ likeness and you add to that he said knowledge first five and he uses a different word than the epic in school of earlier which is a deep knowledge of a salvation this is it diagnosis the practical wisdom you added to your faith excellence of life, a pride in practical wisdom, goodness on a practical basis some people have all the data. They just don’t live their life, but knowledge there is a true knowledge acts. And in verse six, he says to your knowledge, you add self control.
You know you to have a virtuous life and excellent life fulfilling all of the highest potential of God man you know you are to have a wisdom applied and you know you are to have a self control. Literally, it needs to control the passion rather than being controlled by them to break the will of a sin self discipline.
And to the self control or discipline add the patience what does he mean? That means to persevere with a courage against all odds. That’s all people you know sold out in a big fury and then as soon as they hear some kind of a resistance, they’re gone, but when you can take a difficulty and go right through it when you can stand against the Satan attack and the opposition of the world and the flesh and be courageous. When your star can be the steady shiny star rather than a mirror brilliance of a commit, then you forget the idea that never give in that never give up persistence.
Add to that, she says godliness. And this is a beautiful world eusebeia. It means reverence or worship. A life of worship the life of worship it isn’t that so much the living as it is the attitude toward God, live a life of a worship, our life of awe. As a day, we said, I was said the Lord always before me.
Brotherly kindness Philadelphia you know what the best way to translate it friendship friendship, be friends be affectionate to one another one of the beer I have is that people can just kind of come in to our church and sort of shit when the fringes and our relationships develop. You added to your face friendships.
There is a whole mystery about the discipleship. Discipleship is nothing more or less than a friendship with a spiritual perspective. Their conversation is a cat that the weather that depression pouring our lives into each other. Friends beard friendships remember the importance of that and don’t get you a little group over here and keep everybody our sound period and your friendships open your heart.
They felt God’s heart.
