"A New Song" July 2023
DEVOTIONAL BIBLE STUDY: “The Power of the Endless Life”
Dear fellow worker of the Christian Worship Hour:
The writer to the Hebrews refers to the risen Christ as having,
“THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE.” Hebrews 7:16
How absolutely beautiful! The risen Christ not only has all power, but an endless life as well! Praise God!
We all have access to that same power and endless life by faith.
So this month we want to think about how all that power will help us in life’s journey. This power is available to those who have accepted the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord. (Philippians 4:13).
v WE HAVE POWER OVER SIN. We all know about sin because we are all poor lost sinners (Romans 3:23). Not one of us can stand up and say we have not sinned in one way or another. We also know that God will allow no sin in heaven and, to complicate matters, there is no remedy for sin such as education, wealth, prestige, rank, or whatever. So, what to do? Answer; flee to the risen Christ Who has all power and is able to forgive us our sins and wash us white as snow. (Isaiah 1:18; Ephesians 1:7; John 1:7).
v WE HAVE POWER OVER SATAN. What a scoundrel he is! And he is one tough dude as seen when Michael the archangel could not withstand him and referred him to Jesus (Jude 9). But we never need to fear the devil because, if we stay close to Jesus, His wonderful Spirit is greater than Satan and beats him every time! Hurray for our side. (I John 4:4). Someday our risen Christ will cast him into the lake of fire where he belongs. (Revelation 20:10).
v WE HAVE POWER OVER TEMPTATION. We are all tempted by the devil in one way or another. And, my friend, don’t think you are such a spiritual giant that he won’t tempt you---he wasn’t afraid to tempt the Lord Jesus, so he won’t hesitate to give you the works if he can! (Matthew 4:1; I Corinthians 10:13). And don’t say the Lord tempted you to do such and such a thing, because God never tempts us, God tests us to bring out the good, the devil tempts us to bring out the evil. (James 1:13).
v WE HAVE POWER OVER REMORSE. Webster defines remorse as “a gnawing distress arising from a sense of guilt for past wrongs”. Have you ever had remorse? Most of us have mourned over past sins. But the power of the risen Christ can help us forget them by assuring us that ALL our sins have been washed away in the blood He shed for us on the cross! Please notice the ALL. Now if God forgives ALL of our sins, it just doesn’t make sense for us to carry them, does it? (Hebrews 10:7; Philippians 3:13; Colossians 2:14).
v WE HAVE POWER OVER GLOOM. By that I mean, down-hearted, discouraged, and despairing. There are a thousand different things that can bring it on. A lengthy illness may do it, or disappointment in some person or event, and worst of all, loneliness. But, dear friend, we can live above it by God’s grace. Just remember the fact that Jesus is always with us. (Hebrews 13:5). And also keep in mind the fact that Jesus spent much time alone.
v WE HAVE POWER FOR SERVICE. The apostle Paul told us that, with God’s help, we can do all things. (Philippians 4:13). That is all things within God’s will. There are some things we could not, and should not do, such as holding a grudge. We can all serve Jesus in one way or another, that is why He has left us here. Those on sick beds and shut-ins can also serve Jesus by praying. (James 5:16).
So, let’s celebrate the resurrection of the Savior, and draw on His power to glorify His name. PRAY, that is the most important; GIVE as God directs---you are our ONLY source of income; TELL others about the ministry; THANK God daily. God bless every last one of you.
In our Savior’s love,
Pastor Salem
