We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Every biblical evangelist will, as part of his preaching, implore his hearers to repent and believe. Some may even invite hearers to come forward at the end of the meeting to speak with a pastor or counselor in order to learn more about the gospel, ask for materials to read, ask questions about the Bible or what they heard in the sermon, etc. But no truly biblical evangelist will assure a person that he will be saved if he will, at a particular moment in time, decide something, say something, or do something in response to an invitation. Contrary to the biblical goal of gospel preaching, which is to make men humble, penitent, and wholly dependent on God, such invitations and assurances actually serve to increase self-reliance and build unwarranted spiritual confidence.

But what is the nature of our freedom [in Christ]? It is not release from all restraint. It is not license to indulge our sinful nature. Our freedom is the freedom to “serve one another in love” [Gal. 5:13]. It is possible to do so, because the Holy Spirit enables us to act in ways that are contrary to the natural impulses of our sinful nature. Walking by the Spirit, we are released from the old master that produces hatred, jealousy, fits of rage, envy, and such. We are released to be loving, patient, kind, faithful and good.

约柜迁出基列·耶琳
(撒下6·1—11)
大卫与千夫长、百夫长,就是一切首领商议。
大卫以色列全会众说:「你们若以为美,见这事是出于耶和华—我们的 神,我们就差遣人走遍以色列地,见我们未来的弟兄,又见住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人,使他们都到这里来聚集。
我们要把 神的柜运到我们这里来;因为在扫罗年间,我们没有在柜前求问 。」
全会众都说可以如此行;这事在众民眼中都看为好。
于是,大卫以色列人从埃及西曷河直到哈马口都招聚了来,要从基列·耶琳将 神的柜运来。
大卫率领以色列众人上到巴拉,就是属犹大基列·耶琳,要从那里将柜运来。这柜就是坐在二基路伯上耶和华 神留名的柜。
他们将 神的柜从亚比拿达的家里抬出来,放在新车上。乌撒亚希约赶车。
大卫以色列众人在 神前用琴、瑟、锣、鼓、号作乐,极力跳舞歌唱。
到了基顿+乌撒就伸手扶住柜。
10 耶和华向他发怒,因他伸手扶住柜击杀他,他就死在 神面前。
11  大卫因耶和华击杀+乌撒,心里愁烦,就称那地方为毗列斯·乌撒,直到今日。
12 那日,大卫惧怕 神,说:「 神的柜怎可运到我这里来?」
13 于是大卫不将柜运进大卫的城,却运到迦特俄别·以东的家中。
14  神的柜在俄别·以东家中三个月,耶和华赐福给俄别·以东的家和他一切所有的。
