Why God made us like He did. Part 2.
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
1. Knowing the angelic conflict.
2. Knowing the glorification of God.
3. Knowing no man after the flesh.
4. Others
5. Bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Self-justification - operation blame game as to why you are not committed and devoted to living the spiritual life, submitting to whomever is your right pastor-teacher, and serving others.
Self-deception
JAM 1:22, But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.
Self-absorption - living for yourself - a direct contradiction and rejection of
2CO 5:15 and He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other.

The integrity of God is perfect and makes no bad or unfair decisions in dealing with mankind.
Why the creation of man?
The recompense is preceded by the word just which means God is absolutely right and just concerning His judgment on the fallen angels.
He owes them back wages or retroactive wages, and He will pay His debt.
The word neglect is an aor-act-part,
amelesantes
amelesantes =
to be careless toward something or to make light of, to disregard.
“So great a salvation” refers to our Lord’s finished work on the cross.
The implication is simply this, whatever means that God provided for the angels cannot compare to what God provided for the human race.
Because the message was something new that could not be found in the Old Testament, God had to give His messengers a credit card.
The ultimate triumph of man occurs in the
world to come
which is a reference to the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ!
Angels do not rule or control in the Millennium, humans do.
1CO 6:20, For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
1PE 4:16, but if {anyone suffers} as a Christian, let him not feel ashamed, but in that name let him glorify God.
2CO 5:15, and He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
ROM 14:7-8, For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
In the Church-age, Satan and his angels reign.
In the Millennium, man will rule, that man being, Jesus Christ, the son of David.
LUK 19:17, “Because you have been faithful in a very little thing, be in authority over ten cities.”
LUK 19:19, “you are to be over five cities.”
The one who has testified somewhere was David in PSA 8:4-6 and this is actually used as some divine sarcasm from the writer to the so-called Jewish scholars of his day.
