A Lapse Into Sin

                                                                                  

Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

Our folly and God's grace; if you see one, can the other be far behind? Frequent are the occasions when God's children foolishly mire themselves in difficulty only to have God graciously dig them out. Even the venerable Abraham found himself in this situation more than once.

After the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham departed from the groves of Mamre and journeyed south to the Negev. Here he dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, pitching his tent in Gerar. Upon arriving in the south country Abraham hatched a plan which he had tried unsuccessfully in Egypt some twenty years earlier. He instructed his wife, Sarah, to claim that she was his sister.

Because of the disastrous consequences which it previously had brought on the pharaoh of Egypt, it is almost inconceivable that Abraham would try this scheme again. Apparently the stern rebuke Abraham received from Pharaoh had by this time faded from his memory. Still, Abraham had only recently received God's assurance that Sarah was destined to be the mother of the promised seed. By spreading the half truth that she was his sister and therefore eligible for marriage, Abraham placed Sarah's virtue in serious jeopardy. This constituted a foolish lapse in Abraham's usually stellar performance as the friend of God.

The arrival of Abraham and Sarah brought a greeting from Abimelech, the warlike king of Gerar. Having heard that Sarah was unmarried, Abimelech immediately sent and brought her into his harem. This likely was done to ally himself with the rich nomad prince, Abraham. Sarah was by this time ninety years old and probably not the beautiful maid she used to be. Suddenly Abraham's lie had come back to haunt him once again.

The whole course of human history could have been different if it were not for God's intervention. Genesis 20:3 begins, "But God," words which usually indicate the turning point between man's foolishness and God's grace. Abraham had lied about his wife and she was now part of Abimelech's harem. Her virtue would undoubtedly be violated. But God warned the Philistine king in a dream that Sarah was already a man's wife. He also caused Abimelech to be afflicted with an illness which prevented him from coming near Sarah. Thus, miraculously and graciously, the mother of the chosen nation was kept from impurity, not because of the wisdom of Abraham, but because of the grace of God.

In the dream God revealed to Abimelech that, although he had done no wrong, nevertheless he must restore Sarah to her husband. If the king refused, his death and that of all his kingdom would ensue. This was enough to convince Abimelech. The king "rose early in the morning, and called all his servants," relaying the message to them (Genesis 20:8). Respecting the authority of the living God, Abimelech was anxious to heed the divine directives. The Philistine wasted no time in returning Sarah to her husband but not without a sharp rebuke to Abraham. Happy to have his wife back safe and sound, Abraham received the reprimand with a sigh of relief. In return he prayed to God and Abimelech was healed along with his wife and maidservants. The kingdom returned to normal.

Once again God's grace had prevailed over man's folly. The results could have been drastically different, however, had not God's providence overruled man's foolishness. Yet, how much anguish could have been spared both Abraham and Abimelech, both Sarah and the Philistine's wife, if there had not been that one lapse from righteousness. The knowledge that God's grace is waiting in the wings is insufficient grounds for contemplating foolish action. As Abraham finally learned, every friend of God must carefully guard against even slight lapses into the folly of sin (Romans 6:1-4).

HYMN

Sinners Jesus will receive;

Sound this word of grace to all

Who the heav'nly pathway leave,

All who linger, all who fall.

Dear Brothers  & Sisters if you are really blessed by the word of God then what are you waiting for please tell about this good news to others

Becoming Spiritually Aggressive

Becoming Spiritually Aggressive

—by Theodore H Epp  

(Founder Back to the Bible)

1 Corinthians 9:24-27;

Hebrews 12:1-4

Canaan, the Promised Land for the Israelites, is not a type of heaven as some have thought and as some hymns portray it.

Rather it is a type of the Christian's battle against sin and his victory over it as he seeks to live for the Lord. Canaan was a scene of conflict, not of complete peace and rest as heaven will be.

The nations in Canaan become types of the principalities and powers we read about in Ephesians 6:12, where the Apostle Paul tells us, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

When Joshua led the people of Israel into Canaan, he and they not only had to overcome the human leaders and their armies in the land of promise, but also the evil spiritual forces under the direction of satan who were the actual rulers of these heathen kings.

I have drawn more spiritual lessons for myself and the Back to the Bible broadcast from Joshua's experiences and the book of Joshua and its New Testament counterpart, Ephesians, than from any other person or portions in the Bible.

We as believers are warned to put on the whole armor of God, according to the book of Ephesians, if we are going to enter victoriously into spiritual warfare against the powers of Satan.

If we are to avoid a stalemate in our Christian lives, an experience similar to Israel's 40 years in the desert, we will have to choose to become spiritually aggressive.

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 3:14).

The Salvation Boat

The Salvation Boat

By Dr. Woodrow Kroll

Boats have played an important role in God’s plan of salvation through the centuries.  Genesis 6 tells of Noah’s enormous ark (450 feet long, 45 feet high and 75 feet wide), which God used to save eight members of the human race during the flood that overwhelmed the world.

Exodus 2 describes a much smaller boat- actually no more than a reed basket covered with pitch to make it waterproof.  But it played an important role in saving the life of baby Moses, whom God used as an adult to bind together a ragtag group of people into the nation of Israel.  And out of this nation came Jesus, the Messiah and Savior.

Jesus Himself is also compared with a boat.  In his first epistle, Peter reminds his readers of the ark that saved eight people from the flood.  Then he says, “There is also an antitype which now saves us, namely baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh ([i.e., not the literal physical baptism] but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 3:21).

We are baptized (literally “put” or “placed”) into Christ at the time of our salvation.  He becomes our boat.  Just as the ark saved Noah and his family from the wrath of flood and the basket=boat saved Moses from certain death in the Nile, so Christ offers us a place of safety from the wrath that God will someday pour out on sin (Romans 5:9-10; Revelation 6:17).

The question you need to ask yourself is, “Am I in the boat or am I in the water?”  Have you received Christ as your Savior?  Will you be saved from God’s wrath to come because you are safely “in Christ Jesus”?  Only Jesus can keep you afloat when troubled waters come.  Trust Him as your Savior and begin to enjoy new life in God’s ark of salvation

“When the water threatens to overwhelm you, the only safe place is in the boat.”
