Summary

Doctorate of deception Mat 16:24 (ESV) Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Unfortunately the words of the Newsboys song RSL 1984 stand true You don’t know you’re deceived - until your not. Matthew 16:24(ESV) ‘Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me…” Mat 6:21 (ESV) For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Mat 10:37 (ESV) Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 1Jn 5:20 (ESV) And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Mat 16:24 (ESV) Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 2Co 4:10 (ESV) always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. This person’s name is Jesus Christ - Jesus will be manifested thru Paul’s own body His own flesh. His Jar of clay So people will see Jesus And the work that Jesus is doing thru the flesh of Paul 2Co 4:6-7 (ESV) For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 1Jn 4:16 (ESV) So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. God is Love Eph 5:18 (ESV) And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, Eph 3:19 (ESV) and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 2Co 5:14 (ESV) For the love of Christ controls us… John 14:15 (ESV) "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Paul’s name before his conversion was Saul - He was a student of God’s Law. - he had sought the Law of God So he could live a right life for God. So he could try to please God But no longer Now Paul sought the Face of the Law Giver He was being filled with the Law Giver Rom 2:14 - 15 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them Jer 31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 1Co 1:24 (ESV) but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1Co 1:30 (ESV) And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, And we need to be like Paul Who wanted just to know Christ more. The more He was filled with “…the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. The more He was filled with Him who is Love The God who is Love controlled Him The Love of Christ caused Him to obey Christ’s commands 2 Cor 4:11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. This is all done by the most beautiful person Who wants us to seek His Person And get to know Him He will do the work All we must do is set our gaze on Him And hand this jar of clay over to Him He will change us And we will not be disappointed We will become like Paul And want to know with an undying thirst the one that has become the treasure of our heart And the treasure has the most beautiful name His Name is Jesus Christ
