3. Whatâs the number one thing?
The Glory of God!
1 Corinthians 10:31 NKJV
31Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or
whatever you do, do all to the glory of
God.
4. Father,
Teach usThy statutes (v12),
Open our eyes (v18),
Stir our hearts (v2,32,36),
And enlighten our minds (v 27,34,73,125).
Psalm 119
5. 1 John 2:28 MSG
28 And now, children, stay with Christ.
Live deeply in Christ. (abide in Him) Then
weâll be ready for him when he appears,
ready to receive him with open arms,
with no cause for red-faced guilt or lame
excuses when he arrives.
6. 1 John 2:28 NASB
28 Now, little children, abide in Him, so
that when He appears, we may have
confidence and not shrink away from
Him in shame at His coming.
7. Israel has never fully possessed the land
that God gave to them. Why? It has to
do with covenants. Some covenants
between God and Israel are
unconditional and some covenants are
conditional (dependent on Israelâs
obedience).
8. Just like Godâs love for us is
unconditional, yet how pleased He is
with us is conditional (dependent on our
obedience).
9. There is a difference between ownership
and possession. Suppose you own a
condo on 30A in Destin, Florida but you
donât have time to go stay there. You
own it but you do not possess it nor
enjoy it.
10. In the same way, the Abrahamic
Covenant gives Israel unconditional
ownership of all of the land that God
promised (from the River Nile to the
River Euphrates) and no amount of
disobedience can remove her ownership
of Godâs gift.
11. However, before Israel can possess or
enjoy what she owns, she must obey the
terms of the conditional Mosaic
Covenant.
Israel has unconditional ownership of the
land linked to blessings that are based on
the condition of obedience to God.
12. Israel is under obligation to God to
enthrone the right king (Deuteronomy
17:14-15) and such an enthronement will
satisfy the condition of obedience found
in the conditional Mosaic Covenant thus
allowing Israel to possess rather than to
merely own the land as given under the
unconditional Abrahamic Covenant.
13. 14 âWhen you come to the land which the
LORD your God is giving you, and possess
it and dwell in it, and say, âI will set a king
over me like all the nations that are
around me,â
Deuteronomy 17:14-15 NKJV
14. 15 you shall surely set a king over you
whom the LORD your God chooses; one
from among your brethren you shall set
as king over you; you may not set a
foreigner over you, who is not your
brother.
Deuteronomy 17:14-15 NKJV
15. John 5:45-46 NKJV
45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to
the Father; there is one who accuses
youâMoses, in whom you trust. 46 For if
you believed Moses, you would believe
Me; for he wrote about Me.
16. While Israel owns the covenantal
blessings found in the Abrahamic
Covenant, she cannot possess or enter
into these blessings until she complies
with the condition found in the Mosaic
Covenant.
17. This condition could be satisfied through
the nationâs enthronement of the King of
Godâs own choosing (Deuteronomy
17:15),Who is Christ Jesus (John 5:45-47).
19. For Godâs kingdom to manifest itself
upon the Earth, Israel must be not only
the owner, but also the possessor or
enjoyer of her covenantal blessings.
Only when she is both owner and
possessor will the Earthly kingdom
become a reality.
20. As long as she is owner only and not
possessor due to her lack of compliance
with the Mosaic Covenant, then the
Godâs Kingdom on Earth will remain in a
state of postponement.
21. These kingdom conditions will not
manifest themselves until national Israel
trusts Jesus Christ, her long-awaited
King. One day the Jews will comply, and
the Messianic kingdom of God on Earth
will begin.
22. It will take the GreatTribulation to bring
the remaining Jews to faith in Christ and
then the Millennial reign will begin.
24. Romans 13:1-2TLB
1 Obey the government, for God is the
OneWho has put it there.There is no
government anywhere that God has not
placed in power. 2 So those who refuse to
obey the laws of the land are refusing to
obey God, and punishment will follow.
25. 18 So they called them and commanded
them not to speak at all nor teach in the
name of Jesus.
Acts 4:18 NKJV
26. 19 But Peter and John answered and said
to them, âWhether it is right in the sight
of God to listen to you more than to God,
you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak
the things which we have seen and
heard.â
Acts 4:19-20 NKJV
27. 3 For the policeman does not frighten
people who are doing right; but those
doing evil will always fear him. So if you
donât want to be afraid, keep the laws
and you will get along well.
Romans 13:3TLB
28. 4The policeman is sent by God to help
you. But if you are doing something
wrong, of course you should be afraid,
for he will have you punished. He is sent
by God for that very purpose.
Romans 13:4TLB
29. 5 Obey the laws, then, for two reasons:
first, to keep from being punished, and
second, just because you know you
should.
Romans 13:5TLB
30. 6 Pay your taxes too, for these same two
reasons. For government workers need
to be paid so that they can keep on doing
Godâs work, serving you.
Romans 13:6TLB
31. 7 Pay everyone whatever he ought to
have: pay your taxes and import duties
gladly, obey those over you, and give
honor and respect to all those to whom it
is due.
Romans 13:7TLB
32. 8 Pay all your debts except the debt of
love for othersânever finish paying that!
For if you love them, you will be obeying
all of Godâs laws, fulfilling all His
requirements.
Romans 13:8TLB
33. 9a&b If you love your neighbor as much as
you love yourself you will not want to
harm or cheat him, or kill him or steal
from him. And you wonât sin with his wife
or want what is his or do anything else
theTen Commandments say is wrong.
Romans 13:9a&bTLB
34. 9c All ten are wrapped up in this one, to
love your neighbor as you love yourself.
10 Love does no wrong to anyone.Thatâs
why it fully satisfies all of Godâs
requirements. It is the only law you need.
Romans 13:9c-10TLB
35. 11 Another reason for right living is this:
you know how late it is; time is running
out.Wake up, for the coming of the Lord
is nearer now than when we first
believed.
Romans 13:11TLB
36. 12-13aThe night is far gone, the day of His
return will soon be here. So quit the evil
deeds of darkness and put on the armor
of right living, as we who live in the
daylight should!
Romans 13:12-13aTLB
37. 12-13b Be decent and true in everything
you do so that all can approve your
behavior. Donât spend your time in wild
parties and getting drunk or in adultery
and lust or fighting or jealousy.
Romans 13:12-13bTLB
38. 12The night is far spent, the day is at
hand.Therefore let us cast off the works
of darkness and let us put on the armor
of light.
Romans 13:12 NKJV
39. 14 But ask the Lord Jesus Christ to help
you live as you should, and donât make
plans to enjoy evil (make no provision for
the flesh).
Romans 13:14TLB
41. Romans 13:11-14
Your Present Walk and the Coming Day
Think back over this past week. How
much of what you did was motivated by
your conscious awareness of the coming
of the Lord? Youâll probably have to
admit, âNot much.â
42. Romans 13:11-14
Your Present Walk and the Coming Day
I often get so caught up with daily
pressures and deadlines that I forget the
big picture. I forget that Jesus is coming
and that I should be living each day in
light of that great future event.
43. Romans 12:1-2 exhorted us to live in the
present in light of Godâs past mercies to
us. Romans 13:11-14 exhorts us to live in
the present in light of the future return of
Jesus Christ.This is a frequent theme in
the NewTestament.
44. Matthew 24:42-43 NASB
42 âTherefore be on the alert, for you do
not know which day your Lord is coming.
43 But be sure of this, that if the head of the
house had known at what time of the night
the thief was coming, he would have been
on the alert and would not have allowed
his house to be broken into.
45. Matthew 24:44 NASB
44 For this reason you also must be ready;
for the Son of Man is coming at an hour
when you do not think He will.
46. Paul writes the following in a pssage that
contains language and imagery quite
similar to our text.
47. 1Thessalonians 5:1-2 NASB
1 Now as to the times and the epochs,
brethren, you have no need of anything
to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves
know full well that the day of the Lord
will come just like a thief in the night.
48. 1Thessalonians 5:3-4 NASB
3While they are saying, âPeace and safety!â
then destruction will come upon them
suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with
child, and they will not escape. 4 But you,
brethren, are not in darkness, that the day
would overtake you like a thief;
49. 1Thessalonians 5:5-7 NASB
5 for you are all sons of light and sons of
day.We are not of night nor of darkness;
6 so then let us not sleep as others do,
but let us be alert and sober. 7 For those
who sleep do their sleeping at night, and
those who get drunk get drunk at night.
50. 1Thessalonians 5:8-10 NASB
8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober,
having put on the breastplate of faith and love,
and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For
God has not destined us for wrath, but for
obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ, 10Who died for us, so that whether we
are awake or asleep, we will live together with
Him.
51. Many other verses also use the promise
of the Lordâs coming to motivate us to
holy living (e.g., Philippians 4:4-7;Titus
2:11-13; Hebrews 10:24-25; James 5:7-8;
1 Peter 4:7-11; 2 Peter 3:11-14; 1 John 3:2-
3).
52. In our text, Paul begins with a short
phrase that most scholars interpret as an
imperative: âDo this.â
53. Then (13:11-12a) he gives some
indicatives: âknowing the time, that it is
already the hour for you to awaken from
sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us
than when we believed.The night is
almost gone, and the day is near.â
54. Then he gives more imperatives, calling us to
action in light of the time (13:12b-14): âTherefore
let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on
the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in
the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in
sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife
and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make no provision for the flesh in regard to
its lusts.â
55. To sum up, he is saying, the approaching
day of the Lord should cause us, in
contrast to this evil world, to walk in
holiness.
56. First letâs look at the great contrast
between believers and those who are in
the world; then weâll look at the
motivation for why we should live
differently than the world lives.
57. There ought to be a great contrast
between believers in Jesus Christ and
those who are in this evil world. Paulâs
phrase, âDo thisâ is literally, âAnd this.â It
gathers up all that he has been saying
and sets it before us in one collective
package before he adds something else.
58. Paul uses the same phrase in Ephesians
2:8, âFor by grace you have been saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves,
it is the gift of God âŚâ âAnd thatâ refers
back to the entire package of being
saved by grace through faith.
59. Paul gathers it into one phrase so that he
can say, âThat salvation by grace through
faith is not of yourselves. Rather it is
Godâs gift so that no one can boast.â
60. So here Paul is saying, âAll that I have been
saying about presenting your bodies to God
as a living sacrifice and not being conformed
to this world and being transformed by the
renewing of your minds, and all that Iâve
been saying about living in love, do all of this
in light of the time in which we live.The day
of the Lord is near.â
61. And so as those looking forward to that
great day, we should be distinct in our
behavior from those who live with a
temporal viewpoint only.
62. Paul uses several metaphors to make his
point: Unbelievers are sleeping and
walking in the darkness of night.
Believers are supposed to be awake and
walking in the light of day, because we
are looking for the coming of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
63. The world is characterized by deeds of darkness.
64. Have you ever tried to walk in the dark? Maybe it
was in the middle of the night and you got up to
get something in the kitchen.You didnât want to
be startled awake by the light, so you were
groping your way along when suddenly your shin
whacked against a childâs chair that was not
where it was supposed to be. Or you stepped on
a piece of Lego. Ouch!
65. The Bible often describes this sinful
world and those who live in it as
darkness. Satan and his evil forces are
described as âthe world forces of this
darknessâ (Ephesians 6:12). His territory
is the âdomain of darknessâ (Colossians
1:13).
66. Unbelievers are âdarkened in their
understandingâ (Ephesians 4:18) because
the god of this world has blinded them (2
Corinthians 4:4). Jesus said that men love
darkness rather than light, because their
deeds are evil (John 3:19).
67. He is the Light of the world. If we follow
Him, we âwill not walk in the darkness,
but will have the Light of lifeâ (John 8:12;
see, also John 12:35).
68. In contrasting believers with unbelievers,
Paul asks rhetorically (2 Corinthians 6:14-
15), âWhat fellowship has light with
darkness? Or what harmony has Christ
with Belial, or what has a believer in
common with an unbeliever?â
69. Peter draws the contrast by saying that
God has called us âout of darkness and
into His marvelous lightâ (1 Peter 2:9).
70. It is crucial to keep this in mind, because
the world always sells itself as
enlightened, bright, and progressive,
whereas it portrays Christians as being in
the dark. According to the world, if you
believe in moral absolutes, youâre from
the dark ages!
71. Every educated person knows that moral
standards vary from culture to culture. Itâs
ignorant and arrogant to claim that your
cultureâs standards are the only right ones.
Or the world canât believe that any
thinking person would believe in judgment
and Hell. How could a God of love judge
good people who try to do their best?
72. If you believe that an ancient book about
Hebrew religious customs and beliefs has
any relevance for these enlightened
times in which we live, you need to get
an education! So the world thinks. But
the Bible declares just the opposite.
73. 15 Do not love the world nor the things in
the world. If anyone loves the world, the
love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all
that is in the world, the lust of the flesh
and the lust of the eyes and the boastful
pride of life, is not from the Father, but is
from the world.
1 John 2:15-16 NASB
74. 17The world is passing away, and also its
lusts; but the one who does the will of
God lives forever.
1 John 2:17 NASB
75. The world is also in darkness concerning
death and eternity. It thinks that death
will usher us into a peaceful place and
that almost all people will go there.
76. But as Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out in
Romans: Life inTwo Kingdoms [Banner
ofTruth], p. 237, âThe world would not go
on living as it does for a second if it knew
something about the judgment to
come.â
77. Paul spells out the worldâs deeds of darkness
with three couplets of sinful behavior.These
are not comprehensive, but representative.
Also, the fact that he commands Christians
to lay aside these deeds of darkness shows
that we are not immune from doing them.
As believers, we must be on guard so that we
are not enticed by these sins.
78. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident,
which are: immorality, impurity,
sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery,
enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of
anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
Galatians 5:19-20 NASB
79. 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and
things like these, of which I forewarn
you, just as I have forewarned you, that
those who practice such things will
not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:21 NASB
80. First, the deeds of darkness consist in
carousing and drunkenness.The Greek
word translated âcarousingâ was used
generally of âfeasts and drinking parties
that are protracted till late at night and
indulge in revelry.â
81. Many first century believers came out of
backgrounds where they had âpursued a
course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness,
carousing, drinking parties, and
abominable idolatriesâ (1 Peter 4:3).
82. Paul lists drunkenness and carousing as
deeds of the flesh (Galatians 5:21). But
such things are not appropriate for
believers.
83. 11 Do not participate in the unfruitful
deeds of darkness, but instead even
expose them;
Ephesians 5:11 NASB
84. Let me remind you that no one who is
walking in the light suddenly and without
warning falls into sexual immorality.
Sexual sin always begins when we toy
with it in our minds.We relish lustful
glances by replaying them in our
thoughts.
85. We sneak a peek at pornography, which
leads to more frequent and longer looks.
Eventually, the temptation to flirt with a
tempting woman comes and it sucks us
into the fatal act (see Proverbs 7).
86. The key to avoiding it is to judge every
sinful thought as quickly as it happens and
to make no provision for the lusts of the
flesh.
Much of our sin can be traced to the fact
that we made provision for it by toying
with it.
87. Third, the deeds of darkness consist in
strife and jealousy.These are relational
sins that we often shrug off as no big
deal. But they are opposed to the second
greatest commandment, which is to love
others as we love ourselves.
88. Leon Morris observes inThe Epistle to the
Romans [Eerdmans/Apollos], p. 473, âBoth
indicate a determination to have oneâs
own way, a self-willed readiness to quarrel.
All six of these vices stem from self-will;
they are all the outreach of a determined
selfishness that seeks only oneâs own
pleasure.âThey are all a failure to love.
90. Rather than calling it the deeds of light, Paul
refers to the armor of light, which calls
attention to the reality of the spiritual
conflict that we face every day.
91. As Paul points out in Ephesians 6:12-13, âFor our
struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the powers, against
the world forces of this darkness, against the
spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly
places.Therefore, take up the full armor of God,
so that you will be able to resist in the evil day,
and having done everything, to stand firm.â
93. Itâs easy to forget this as we go about our
daily routines, because it is an unseen
battle. If our eyes were open to see the
demonic forces that are trying to bring
us down, weâd probably die of fright!
94. But even though these hideous enemies
are unseen, they are very real and
dangerous.The fact that Paul gives this
command to believers implies that we
are not immune to the sins he has just
listed.
95. The lusts of the flesh still war in our
hearts, even after we have walked with
Christ for many years.We need to be
aware of the enemyâs schemes (2
Corinthians 2:11) and put on the full
armor of God (Ephesians 6; 1
Thessalonians 5:8).
96. By calling it the armor of light, Paul is calling
attention to holiness or righteousness. It is
important to remember that the command
to love one another (Romans 13:8-10) is not
just an amorphous feeling. Love means
obedience to Christâs commandments. He
said (John 14:15), âIf you love Me, you will
keep My commandments.â
97. It is not legalism to obey the
commandments of the NewTestament.
Putting on the armor of light means that
we walk in obedience or holiness.We
turn from temptation and sin and we
follow the teaching and example of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
98. If there is not a significant behavioral
difference between you and the world,
you need to engage in some sober self-
examination.The difference between
how the world lives and how Christians
live should be as stark as the difference
between night and day.
99. The motivation for walking in holiness is
that we know the time and we are
looking for the culmination of our
salvation at the return of Jesus Christ.
102. Note the flow of thought (Romans 13:11-
12): âDo this, knowing the time, that it is
already the hour for you to awaken from
sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us
than when we believed.The night is
almost gone, and the day is near.
Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of
darkness and put on the armor of light.â
103. Paulâs word for time denotes the present
age, the time between the first and
second comings of Jesus Christ. He came
the first time to bring salvation for all
who will believe. He will come again in
power and glory for judgment on
unbelievers and to consummate final
salvation for us who believe.
104. Thus âsalvation is nearer to us than when
we believed.âThe time in which we live is
still dark, but the night (this present evil
age; Galatians 1:4) is almost gone and
the day (of the Lord) is very near.
105. The possibility that Christ could come at
any time and the certainty that He will
come at some time should motivate us
to holy living right now.
106. Some have questioned the validity of
Paulâs view of the end times by saying
that he mistakenly thought that Christ
would come during his lifetime or shortly
thereafter. It is probably correct to say
that Paul did not expect the Lordâs return
to be delayed for 2,000 years.
107. But neither did he teach that it would
happen in his lifetime, but rather that it
could happen in his lifetime (1
Thessalonians 4:17).
108. It is within everyoneâs lifetime because
your sense of time changes when your
life on this Earth is over. Thomas
Schreiner explains (Romans [Baker], p.
698), âHe argued in light of the certainty
of the end, and the possibility that it
could come soon, that believers should
always be morally ready.â
109. Henry Alford put it (cited by Douglas
Moo,The Epistle to the Romans
[Eerdmans], p. 822, italics his), âOn the
certainty of the event, our faith is
grounded: by the uncertainty of the
time, our hope is stimulated and our
watchfulness aroused.â
110. When Steven Cole was in seminary, he
and his wife, Marla, used to baby sit for
some wealthy Dallas families while the
parents went away for several days.They
knew approximately when the parents
would return, but they didnât know
exactly when they would return.
111. So as the time drew closer, they made sure
that the house was in decent order. As
believers, we know that Christ could come
(or we could die) at any time, although we
donât know exactly when. But knowing
that we will be with Him when He comes
should motivate us to walk in holiness so
that we are ready for that certain day.
112. Looking for the culmination of our salvation
should motivate us to walk in holiness.
113. If you have believed in Christ, you have been
saved in the past; you are being saved in the
present; and you will be completely saved in
the future when you meet the Lord.
114. It is that third aspect of salvation that
Paul refers to here when he says, âNow
salvation is nearer to us than when we
believed.â
115. But to walk in holiness, we have to shake
off spiritual drowsiness.
116. Paul implies that his readers are prone to
spiritual drowsiness. I confess that Iâm
often spiritually drowsy.
117. Iâm not alert when opportunities to share
the Gospel come up and so I miss them
(missed opportunities). Iâm half asleep
when temptation hits and donât flee or
resist as I should. Or I waste time on
trivial matters because Iâm not alert to
the shortness of time.
118. But as Jesus said (John 9:4), âWe must
work the works of Him who sent Me as
long as it is day; night is coming when no
one can work.â
119. In verse 12, Paul tells us to put on the
armor of light. But in verse 14 he says,
âPut on the Lord Jesus Christ and make
no provision for the flesh in regard to its
lusts.âThe way that we put on the armor
of light is, positively to put on the Lord
Jesus Christ and negatively to make no
provision for the lusts of the flesh.
120. In one sense, we already put on Christ at
the moment of salvation when we were
identified or clothed with Him (Romans
6:3-6; Galatians 3:27). But in another
sense, we need to put on Christ moment
by moment by yielding to His lordship.
121. This means âthat we are consciously to
embrace Christ in such a way that His
character is manifested in all that we do
and sayâ (Moo, pp. 825-826).
122. Although this text is not directly
evangelistic, it is the text that God used
to save Augustine. He had been a
promiscuous young man and had lived
for some years with a mistress. He had
come under conviction of sin and wanted
to be saved, but he had not yet gained
assurance of Godâs forgiveness.
123. He was weeping over his spiritual
condition as he sat in the garden of a
friend when he heard a child singing,
âTake up and read!Take up and read!â
124. He picked up a scroll that lay nearby and
his eyes fell on the words, âNot in
carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual
promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife
and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and make no provision for the
flesh in regard to its lusts.â
125. At that point, he said (Confessions, 8.12),
âInstantly, as the sentence endedâby a
light, as it were, of security infused into
my heartâall the gloom of doubt
vanished away.â
126. May the reality of the approaching day of
the Lord weigh upon us every day, so
that we trust in Him as Savior and walk in
holiness before Him as Lord!
127. The Plan of Hope & Salvation
John 3:16-17 NIV
16 âFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the world through him.â
John 14:6 NIV
6 Jesus answered, âI am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.â
128. The Plan of Hope & Salvation
Romans 3:23 NIV
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23a NIV
23a For the wages of sin is death,
⢠Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
⢠Even Jesus, the only one who doesnât deserve death, died in this
life to pay the penalty for our sin.
⢠The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the âsecond deathâ
explained in Revelation 21:8.
129. The Plan of Hope & Salvation
