The Berean Scripture of the Day
1 Samuel 15:22-23
July 26, 2024
Will you love the LORD by obeying Him?
"Amen" which means "so be it & yes" to Lord Jesus is better than "thank you for the words of wisdom" ... just ask King Saul & his lack of Amen because Saul did not praise Jesus ... they just say "praise Jesus" because they seek approval of women & men rather God. Selah
Samuel said, "Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. " For rebellion is as the sin of divination, And insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king. " 1 Samuel 15:22-23
Acts 5:27-33 When they had brought them, they stood them before the Council. The high priest questioned them, saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. "
But Peter and the apostles answered,
"We must obey God rather than men."
" The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross. " He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. " And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given
to those who obey Him."
But when they heard this, they were cut to the quick and intended to kill them.

For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?

P&P JC 1979: Brothers & sisters, please pray for one of my BSF classes here in America and for a friend within that class that just proclaimed that he is moving back to the Catholic Church within that class, and for the Gospel to be preached again & Lord Jesus-willing, believed. Thank you & God bless! 👈😃👍 1 John 4:2-6 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from

The Berean's Work of the Day
Philippians 2:1-18

🌈The Rainbow🌈
God reveals Himself to all people in the world through general revelation. His creations are evident in the book of Genesis chapter 1 and now through His signs to the non-believers of the faith in His Word. Jesus specifically reveals Himself through the Bible Scriptures, and from the word, we learn how to relate with Him as our Lord and Savior.
Yes, Jesus loved us all and gave his sinless, perfect life as a ransom to pay for our salvation. Just as it was in the days of Noah, those who believed and entered the ark were physically saved from God's judgment, and so the rainbow 🌈 is God's reminder to all generations.
🌈Salvation🌈
Romans 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Will you love Him back❓
Our love for Christ can be displayed when we share His love with others. Preaching His warnings and promises to all people in hope and prayer that they may turn to fear God and be saved 🙏.
Philippians 2:1-18 [Be Like Christ] Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.
But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Lesson 5
God's Word: Philippians 2:1-18 deeply challenges men to take give the Word of Life to the world so that they will bend the knee before they pass into eternal life or death.
Doctrine: Christ Jesus is God, Christ Jesus is Man, The Fear of the Lord, One Faith
Attribute: His Servant Heart, His Lordship, His Humbleness
Aim: For the children of God to take J.O.Y. in trying to grasp that Jesus is God & equal to God, and our calling to shine like lights to the world by giving all the Word of Life.
Truth: You will do well if we love one another in humility & not for our own self-gain (2:1-3).
Lie: You will do well if you have brains (intelligence), brawn/beauty (man/woman), & bucks (riches/wealth) of this world.
Truth: Jesus is equal & One with the Father, yet came as a servant & as a man (2:5-7).
Lie: Jesus was only a man, He was only a prophet, and Christ is not God.
Truth: It is good to holdfast to the faith that the Word of Life pours into us (2:14-18).
Lie: Faith comes by hearing and hearing the words of the world that are wiser than ANY god. Science is wiser than faith.
Application: Have I truly, truly bended my knee to Christ the King Jesus? If I have, then how have I given the Word of Life to those in my everyday life--my piece of the world?
