“JESUS
CHRIST - A MAN APPROVED OF GOD (Acts 2:22)”
Miracle #7-
(Matthew 9:1-4,5-8; Mark 2:1-4,5-8,9-12;
Luke 5:17-20,21-24,25-26)
In
the Old Testament, the Ten Commandments, generally speaking, addressed
the outward
sins of Israel … stealing, lying, honouring Mum and Dad and so on …
and
were told to love their neighbour as themselves (Leviticus 19:18). The
law is
found in the two commandments of love the Lord thy God and your
neighbour as
yourself (Matthew 22:36-39,40).
FOUR
LEARNINGS:
1.
Today,
we get saved by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31) and it
is
Christ’s faith that saves us (Ephesians 2:8) … to believe is to be
fully
persuaded (Romans 4:20-22). In the Old Testament and while Christ was
on earth,
a man’s belief, and therefore his faith, would save him, not Christ’s.
Hence
they only had temporary salvation … be based on human faith. Christ saw
their faith, based on their full belief. They were determined.
Here,
Christ speaks first, the forgiveness of sins, and
physical
healing then appears.
As
night follows day, the manifestation of Christ’s words is 100%
guaranteed.
“And
they were all amazed, and they glorified
God, and were filled with fear…” (Luke 5:26) … except
the scribes
and the pharisees.
Question:
Dear
Reader, why aren’t there more people getting saved today?
Answer:
People
are not amazed at Christ’s creation, they do not glorify Christ and
they are not filled with fear as the scriptures say …
“Because
that which may be known of God is manifest
in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the
invisible things
of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen … even
his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: …
when they
knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful
… there
is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 1:19-21; Romans
3:18).
