“ Great Sermon! ”
Good to see you made back to your home pulpit safe and sound my brother Reggie.
Thank you for your insightful, and thoughtful, as usual, exposition of this passage wherein Paul addresses the Thessalonians seeking to have them compare their deceptive false teachers with their true teacher: The Spirit through the instrument of Paul.
I especially loved your reference to the correct teaching of the Spirits use of the Moral Law, the Ten Commandments, in the life of the elect, first to bring them to a true knowledge of sin and self, and thus the fear of God, causing a flight to Christ in earnest as the only hope….and then, one this is accomplished, the right use of that Law as a Rule of Life, it being “put in the mind and written in the heart” by that Spirit, whereby the believer, with the psalmist exclaims “oh, how I love Thy Law, it is my meditation all the day”. Ps 119:97 & Heb. 8:10 |
