Loser believers whose glory is in their shame, Part 11. The winner believer has confidence at the Rapture.
Tuesday, February 6, 2001
PHI 3:19 “their termination is destruction, their god is their emotion, and their time of glory will be a momentary time of shame.”
Point 5. The Winner Believer has Confidence at the Rapture and not Shame Based on the Application of Problem Solving Devices to His post-salvation Experience, ROM 5:5.
Hope – elpis to trust, have confidence in doctrine or the promises of God, patient waiting, confident expectation with regard to the future.
First hope = the hope of eternal life; ROM 8:24 “For with reference to that hope we have been saved.”
Second hope = absolute confidence that if you persevere in the spiritual life, you will receive blessings in time,ROM 5:1.
Third Hope = Eternal Reward, the absolute confidence that if you continue in the PPOG that you will receive great blessing and reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
Titus 2:13 “looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus;”
Blessed hope = those believers who live in the righteousness of God and live the spiritual life looking forward to the Rapture of the church.
The function of hope is threefold: to trust in time, patience in waiting, expectation of the future.
Point 6. The Loser Believer is an Oxymoron (oxus [sharp] moros (moron or fool).
Shame is incompatible with the PPOG in time, but the profile of the loser believer confirms the existence of Shame at the Judgment Seat of Christ, PHI 3:19.
1CO 3:12 wood, hay and straw – one of the biggest bon fires you will ever see.
Shame is incompatible with a resurrection body in the eternal state.
The filling of the Spirit, the metabolization of Bible doctrine, the execution of the PPOG.
The first is the filling of the Holy Spirit and therefore the use of divine power.
The second is cognition of Bible doctrine and therefore the use of divine power.
The third is the execution of the PPOG and therefore the use of divine power.
When youre interested in doing something, you do it only when its convenient.
When youre committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.
The oxymoron of shame in a resurrection body is eliminated only when the believer is consistent in the function of the three spiritual skills.
The winner believer has no shame at the Judgment Seat of Christ and has confident expectation of receiving his or hers’ escrow blessings for eternity.
Winner believer a believer who consistently uses the three spiritual skills and executes the predesigned plan of God.
Point 7. The Pastor Who Does Not Study and Teach will have Shame at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
“be diligent” aor-act-imp, spoudason to be motivated, to use speed, to make every effort, to labor, to study.
ROM 14:12 “Each one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
Your motivation must be combined with your spiritual values to learn and use the spiritual skills to execute Gods plan.
