Benchley, March 30, 2008
- Joshua 1:8 - meditation resulting in action will bring success
- I Timothy 4:16 - continuing in the doctrine of Christ will bring salvation
- Meditation
- Romans 10:1-3 - they acted without proper meditation
- Meditation is required for proper understanding
- Luke 8:18 - take heed how you hear
- John 7:14-17 - you must have the will to do God’s will
- John 8:37-45 - they did not want to hear the truth
- Action
- Obedience to the rules is necessary, but does not merit one’s salvation
- I John 1:9; Acts 8:22; Matthew 7:21 - repentance is one of the rules
- Consequences
- John 17:17; Romans 2:7 - the promised reward
- Luke 11:28; Psalms 1:1-2; James 1:25 - examples of the divine rule for success.
