January 2023 DSW - Renew/Reset

 

"Without the renewed mind, we will distort the Scriptures to avoid their radical commands for self-denial, and love, and purity, and supreme satisfaction in Christ alone."  John Piper

"Most of all, let the Word of God fill you and renew your mind every day.  When our minds are on Christ, Satan has little room to maneuver."  Billy Graham

Victory over your mind will come from spending time with the Lord, relying upon the Spirit, and renewing your mind with God’s Word.  God so deeply loves you and His great goal is to conform you into the image of Christ.  God is constantly working to mature us in Christ and renew our mind.  What a glorious privilege! 

Bible Paragraph Summary - Hebrews and James

 Give instruction to a wise person and he will become still wiser; teach a righteous person and he will increase his insight.  Proverbs 9:9

My NAS Bible has chapter summary headings for each chapter--sometimes more than one--as you can see in the pictures of Hebrews and James.  See the words in the bolded font?  Apparently not all Bibles have this and since I've used the NAS all of my life, I never knew (or really realized) that other Bibles didn't have these headings!  I like getting a sort of preview of what is going to happen in the words that follow.  I suppose these are included at the discretion of the translator and publisher.

I decided to type these out for every Bible book and chapter so I could easily reference where a particular story or topic was instead of spending a long time searching through the pages for a name or topic to jump out at me.  And what if I am not near a computer or can't whip out my phone to look it up?  (I guess that's the Old School #BibleNerd in me!)  For instance, I wanted to know where the story of Zaccheus was in the Gospels.  I can quickly and easily look through these listings and find that the story of Zaccheus is found in Luke 19.  Success!  And that didn't take long at all.

I've included these sheets in my A5 Bible Reference Binder and I actually have them in a few of my Bible binders so that no matter where I am, I will have access to the information.  I decided to share this information for you, dear reader, in case you are interested in something like this!  It IS #FridayFreebie, after all.  So look for these posts every Friday for a while; I will post the New Testament first then post the Old Testament.  Look for "Friday Freebie" or "Paragraph Summary" in the labels/tags.  Feel free to copy and format them how you will use them.  I think that any Bible study information should not cost anything to anyone and would appreciate you sharing about this content and about my blog with anyone you know would appreciate what is found here.

At The Moment of Salvation - 23 & 24 & 25

 At the moment of salvation, every believer in Jesus Christ receives 40 things from God. Of the 40 things, 39 of them are permanent and can never be removed from the believer - even by God himself! The only temporary thing is the Filling of the Holy Spirit which we lose due to our own free will to act against God. We can repeatedly gain the Filling of the Spirit following confession of our known sins to the Father.

23. Royal Adoption

We are adopted into the Royal Family of God at the moment of salvation. We are placed as adult sons. although we all begin the Christian life as "babes in Christ," we are all viewed by God as "full grown sons" in union with Christ. This is our complete and perfect relationship with God in Christ. Romans 8:15, Romans 8:23

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." (Romans 8:15)

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. (Romans 8:23)

24. Eternal Relationship to God

We are eternally related to God because of our Lord’s present session at the Father’s right hand. Knowledge and application of this great truth should produce a corresponding experiential sanctification (i.e., walking in fellowship with the Lord through the filling of the Holy Spirit). Ephesians 2:13; James 4:8; Hebrews 10:25

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13)

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:8)

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25)

25. We are on the Rock Jesus Christ

We have an eternally secure relationship with God from the point of salvation onward. 2 Corinthians 1:21; 2 Corinthians 3:11; Ephesians 2:20

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, (2 Corinthians 1:21)

And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! (2 Corinthians 3:11)

Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. (Ephesians 2:20)

December DSW - the Names of Jesus

 Merry Christmas!

This Daily Scripture Writing is a wonderful way to end the year.  Each Scripture is the name of Jesus.  If you are not sure of what His name is in a specific verse, maybe check out the verse in a different translation.  I used the NASB in my search.

If you're the crafty type, you could cut out small stars and write each name on them and decorate your tree or hang them around your house.

At the Moment of Salvation - 21 & 22

   ...that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; or with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.  Romans 10:9-10 

At the moment of salvation, every believer in Jesus Christ receives 40 things from God. Of the 40 things, 39 of them are permanent and can never be removed from the believer - even by God Himself! The only temporary thing is the Filling of the Holy Spirit which we lose due to our own free will to act against God. We can repeatedly gain the Filling of the Spirit following confession of our known sins to the Father.

21. Unseen Assets

At the moment of salvation, we receive all of the unseen assets of the Christian life. Our recognition, utilization, and possession of these assets requires our daily spiritual growth which is necessary to receive blessing because of our election to privilege and opportunity and predestination. It is also necessary to function under our priesthood and to fulfill our ambassadorship.

Spiritual growth also enables us to "live out of our own souls" and to realize that all assets, provision, and blessing for time and eternity are guaranteed by the Triune God! All of this demands maximum Bible truth living in our souls as Spirit-filled Christians. Ephesians 1:2-6

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. (Ephesians 1:2-6)

22. Judgement of Sins

All of our sins were judged under the spiritual death of our Lord Jesus Christ. The application of this truth to our lives as Christians is of the utmost importance because all of our personal sins were judged at the cross. Whenever we confess all of our known sins to God the Father, He forgives those known sins and he also forgives all of the unknown sins.

This "forgiveness and cleansing" is a reality in our lives because Christ was judged for all sins in His spiritual death on the cross. also, our confession of sins is the basis for the frustration of the Old Sin Nature controlling our lives and our restoration to fellowship with God. 1 Pet 2:24; Romans 4:25; 1 John 1:9

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24)

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. (Romans 4:25)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Bible Paragraph Summary - Titus & Philemon

 Give instruction to a wise person and he will become still wiser; teach a righteous person and he will increase his insight.  Proverbs 9:9

  

 My NAS Bible has chapter summary headings--sometimes more than one in the chapter--as you can see in the picture of my Bible of Paul's letter to Titus.  See the words in the bolded font?  Apparently not all Bibles have this and since I've used the NAS all of my life, I never knew (or realized) that some Bibles don't have these headings!  I like getting a sort of preview of what is going to happen in the story and verses that follow.  I suppose these are included at the discretion of the translator or publisher.

I decided to type these out for every Bible book and chapter so I could easily reference where a particular story or topic was instead of spending a long time searching through the pages for a name or topic to jump out at me.  And what if I am not near a computer or can't whip out my phone to look it up?  (I guess that's the Old School #BibleNerd in me!)  For instance, I wanted to know where the story of Zaccheus was in the Gospels.  I can quickly and easily look through these listings and find that the story of Zaccheus is found in Luke 19.  Success!  And that didn't take long at all.

I've included these sheets in my A5 Bible Reference Binder and I actually have them in a few of my Bible binders so that no matter where I am, I will have access to the information or be able to share the information in a class or Bible study.  I decided to share this information for you, dear reader, in case you are interested in something like this!  It IS #FridayFreebie, after all.  So look for these posts every Friday for a while; I will post the New Testament first then post the Old Testament.  Look for "Friday Freebie" or "Paragraph Summary" in the labels/tags.  Feel free to copy and format them how you will use them.  I think that any Bible study information should not cost anything to anyone and would appreciate you sharing about this content and about my blog with anyone you know would appreciate what is found here.
