7 May 2017 - ENCS

About Genesis chapter three, Pastor Josh did speak today
Our physical beings will all die, verse nineteen does say
Adam then called his wife Eve, the mother of all the living
It is not clear if this was arrogance of for their sin misgiving

A spectrum about faith, Pastor Josh did with us then share
We need to balance both trust and diligence, not doctrinaire
One extreme leads to skepticism, the other to negligence
We should read God’s word for wisdom, not just intelligence
Per Acts seventeen, we must receive His word with eagerness
And always rely on it for guidance, Pastor Josh did stress

Turning back to Genesis three, per verse number twenty one
God showed grace despite what Adam and Eve had done
He made garments of animal skin for each of them to wear
So they would not be embarrassed by their bodies bare
More importantly, this parallels God covering us with grace
Protecting us from the death that us sinners should face

The righteousness of God, per Romans three twenty one
Is manifested apart from the law for believers bar none
We should always remember that we all sin and fall short
That we need the Spirit is something we should not distort
We are so valuable to God that He sent His Son to die
This divine forbearance actually benefits both you and I

God needed to be just but He wanted to extend mercy
Jesus paid the price so that from our sin we are now free
For that we should not be proud, per verse twenty seven
Instead we should give all credit to Jesus in heaven
Due to the Spirit, we are empowered to differently live
Allowing God to change us and love to others give

Per Daniel nine, based on God’s mercy we should pray
The righteous do live by faith, Romans one does say
By continually pursuing God, our lives get transformed
In this way, hearts of many others will also be warmed
Josh once again shared four steps that help us equip
We should pray, meditate, proclaim, and fellowship
