The Action of the Holy Spirit in the Assembly by William Kelly
The Action of the Holy Spirit in the Assembly
I CORINTHIANS 12? The subject, which the apostle covers in this chapter, was one most deeply needed at that time by the Corinthian saints, and is still much needed today. There is no greater forgetfulness of any part of the truth of God amongst Christians, than as to their great need of the Holy Spirit on the one hand, and as to God’s great gift of Him on the other. Here we have the truth of the church viewed as that to which God had given the Spirit of “power” (1 Cor. 12) of “love” (1 Cor. 13), and of the “sound mind” that should be shown (1 Cor. 14). The Spirit of power was there; but, whatever the energy He works in, the Holy Spirit has in no way set aside responsibility. Man cannot understand this. A divine person, His office is to be here, that He might be in the saints, the dwelling of God, and that they should have therefore an infinite resource; but, at the same time, not so that the might of the almighty Spirit of God could not be thwarted and hindered.

Justification: The Imputed Righteousness of Christ Examined in the Light of Scripture by Nicolas Simon
Justification: The Imputed Righteousness of Christ Examined in the Light of Scripture
We are indebted to the Reformation for the recovery of the truth of salvation through faith alone and not works. Truly, the Reformation was a glorious light after the darkness of the ages that preceded it. Nevertheless, much teaching remained clouded by the prejudices of former thinking. It remained until the 1800's before the truth of justification was brought into the full light of Scripture. Nevertheless, even today, the most common teaching concerning justification is called the "Imputed Righteousness of Christ." Unfortunately, it confounds God's righteousness with righteous conduct in man, and the law becomes the measure of Christ's righteousness. In the Pauline doctrine of justification, I now stand before God in Christ, in all the blessedness of that position knowing that my sins have been forgiven, my guilt has been put away, and I have been judicially cleared from all the consequences connected with my former life; I am "justified in Christ" (Gal. 2:17 JND). The life I once had is altogether done with at the cross.

Purchase and Redemption: The Difference Between Bought and Redeemed by Stanley Bruce Anstey
Purchase and Redemption: The Difference Between Bought and Redeemed
Those whom the Lord calls and uses in His service are those who have willingly yielded themselves to Him as His bondmen. They are freedmen; but more than that, they are bondmen....The great fact is that the power of His love makes us willing servants.

“And if thou wilt walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days” (1 Kings 3:14).

We noticed yesterday that when the Lord asked Solomon what he wanted, he asked for wisdom to rule well. As a reward to Solomon for asking for this, the Lord promised him riches and honor as well. However, we see by our verse for today that He promised him something else, but there was a condition attached. If Solomon walked in obedience, the Lord would lengthen his days. That is, he could count on a long life. This was one of the blessings promised in the Old Testament, for obedience.

Did Solomon live a long life? Was he obedient to the Lord? It seems that he lived for the Lord during the first half of his reign, but later, as we will see tomorrow, he married many foreign women who turned his heart away from the Lord.

We saw yesterday that Solomon was probably not yet twenty years old when he became king. He reigned forty years, so that he died when he was not even sixty. David lived to be seventy, but sadly, Solomon’s days were not lengthened, because of his disobedience.

Growing in Grace
“Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed” (Hebrews 12:12-13).
Yesterday we spoke about roots, and how the redwood trees have roots that are intertwined with each other, so that they help to support one another. Today we are told to “lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and to “make straight paths” for our feet, “lest that which is lame be turned out of the way.”
We all have an influence on others, whether we realize it or not. The Bible tells us that “none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself” (Romans 14:7). Our influence on others can be either good or bad. If we are discouraged, we tend to discourage others. If someone else is lame in a spiritual way, we can either help him get healed, or we can discourage him further and be the means by which he misses the right path.
Perhaps we say, “But I am going through difficulties myself!” Then let us do what these verses tell us to do. We must recognize that the difficulties in our lives are allowed of the Lord to teach us something. Then, instead of getting discouraged, we are to stop thinking about ourselves, and start making straight paths for our feet. It is never right to feel sorry for ourselves. Rather, we are to look to the Lord for His help, and then be an encouragement to others.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. (John 10:7)
The veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.1 – Christ … hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.2 – The way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing.3
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.4
No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.5 – Through him we … have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.6 – Having … boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.7 – We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.8

Comfort of the Scriptures
“Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thess. 5:22).
If the believer is to please and honor his Lord, there are not only certain things which he must pursue and follow by the grace of God, but there are also certain things which he must refuse and deny. We are called to “ever follow that which is good,” and to “follow after the things that make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” We need to “seek peace, and pursue it.” But the grace of God is also constantly “teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.” And rather than be ensnared by “the love of money,” we instead ought to “flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” We who know the Lord are responsible to refuse and deny sin in our lives and associations. “Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.” For needed power to do this, “put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.” “Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.”
If we would live for Christ’s glory,
And walk with Him in the way,
We must deny all sin’s wooings,
Taking grace from Him each day.
