See to it that no one takes you captive
-
- Military terminology
-
- We must be on continuous guard
- Ready for battle
- Full amour of God
-
- Philosophy
-
- Not all science, art, or all philosophy
- God has given us reason and thought, natural laws

- Wrong thinking, wrong starting point
- Systems not grounded on truth – all truth comes from God
-
- Military terminology
1 Timothy 6:20 ESV
Acts 15:1 ESV
Romans 1:22 ESV
-
- Human tradition
-
- We want a system, a checklist, we want to add something
-
- We receive Christ by faith, not works
-
- As a wine skin filled with wine –
-
- The one filling performs the action
- We receive – – – Christ becomes ours
- Our accepting Christ is a reaction to being filled
-
- We must not add man’s work [circumcision]
- We devise many systems, programs, steps and levels
- As a wine skin filled with wine –
-
- We receive Christ by faith, not works
-
- We want a system, a checklist, we want to add something
-
- Human tradition
Exodus 20:25 NASB
-
- Paul warns against focusing on other things “not according to Christ”
-
- Interesting how Paul describes Christ
- 1. Christ, 2. Jesus, 3. the Lord
-
- Judas, never called Jesus Lord, but rabbi – teacher
- Danger of not receiving the true Christ
-
-
- Paul warns against focusing on other things “not according to Christ”
-
- 1. As you received Christ Jesus the Lord
Christ – anointed one, To consecrate, set apart for God’s use
The Messiah – meaning the savior of God, the Christ
-
- Kings, prophets and priests were set apart or consecrated
- Jesus Christ is all three of these to us
- The people are looking for the Christ, not A Christ
Matthew 1:16 NASB
John 1:20- NASB
Jesus = ‘Jehovah is salvation –
Joshua – Successor to Moses, who led the people into the promised land
Matthew 1:21 NASB
-
- The world wants the man named Barabbas
- Barabbas = son of a father or master
Matthew 27:17 NASB
Luke 23:25 ESV
-
- Notice the natural fallen will of man
-
- They chose a murder over an innocent man
-
- Son of a father [Barabbas] vs. Son of God [Jesus]
- Notice the natural fallen will of man
Mat_4:3
Mar_3:11
Luk_1:35
Mark 1:1 NASB
***Luk_3:38
-
- 1st Adam & the 2nd Adam
-
- 1st Adam failed, Jesus Christ succeeded
- 1st Adam was created
- 2nd Adam [Jesus] was born of the virgin Mary – Her offspring
- 2nd Adam [Jesus] was not created but eternally God
-
- 1st Adam & the 2nd Adam
(9) For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
-
- The invisible God was made manifest in the flesh
- Jesus testified to his OWN deity
John 8:58-59 ESV
John 8:24 ESV
-
- You must receive Christ as who He is!
Christ Jesus the Lord
-
- Lord – (supremacy); supreme in authority,
-
- a respectful title- God, Lord, master
-
- The Septuagint – Before Christ
-
- Many of the NT quotes come from the Septuagint
- Lord – Kurious in Greek
- This word Lord – Kurious, is used to describe God
-
- H136 adonai
- H410 el
- H430 elohim
- H3068 YHWH – Yahweh
-
-
- Lord – (supremacy); supreme in authority,
Jesus speaking of His return:
Matthew 24:42 NASB
1 Corinthians 4:5 NASB
-
-
-
- Now that we receive, we cling to Christ
-
- We don’t just receive eternal life
- Not just the teaching of Christ
- Not just the benefits of Christ
-
- But Christ himself
-
-
- Now that we receive, we cling to Christ
-
-
so walk in him 2. A command to walk – Not a suggestion
-
- Wait!!! How do we walk in him?
-
- 2 analogies
-
- Tree and it’s roots
- A building with a strong foundation
-
- 2 analogies
-
- Wait!!! How do we walk in him?
Psalms 1:3 ESV
built up in him
Matthew 7:24-25 ESV
-
- The roots must go down before the tree can go up
-
- Continuous study of God’s Word with prayer
- Sound Biblical exegesis of the whole council of God
-
- Preachers and teachers MUST do their job
-
-
- The roots must go down before the tree can go up
just as you were taught,
-
- Paul didn’t visit Colossae
- Col 1:7 just as you learned it from Epaphras
-
- Doctrine of men vs. sound doctrine
- Very dangerous to throw out doctrine
- Biblical doctrine is thrown out as doctrine of men
-
