Text of the page (random words):
that christ had offered satisfaction that the sacrifice pleased him that sufficient atonement has been made by his death and so christ died rose again and then the third of the four fold protection who is even at the right hand of god that basically is an echo of psalm 1 10 1 where it says the lord had said to my lord sit thou at my right hand what does that mean that means that the father took the son into glory and he sat him at his right hand and that s the seat of exaltation that s the seat of honor you say well what does that mean that means that the father was satisfied with what the son did right so jesus died paying our penalty suffering our condemnation he rose showing that indeed it was successful he is exalted to the right hand of god showing that the father says it is a satisfactory offering no other offering needs to be made and then there is a fourth who also makes intercession for us that s the high point it s not what he did it s what he did and what he continues to do he keeps on interceding for us the old testament prophet isaiah said it would be so the last part of that 53rd chapter says he made the last phrase of isaiah 53 he made intercession for the transgressors he keeps on interceding for us he keeps on interceding for us we have an advocate with the father jesus christ the righteous says 1 john 2 1 and hebrews that thrilling marvelous wondrous look at the priesthood of jesus christ in hebrews 7 24 it says he has an unchangeable priesthood he is able also to save them to the uttermost in other words he saves us all the way to the uttermost all the way to glory how seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them and whenever we sin he pleads our case he intercedes on our behalf he comes to our defense paul then asks who will separate us from the love of christ through affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword verse 35 henry puts forward the dark brutality of persecution the fears of the saints lest they should lose their hold of christ are often very discouraging and disquieting and create them a great deal of disturbance but here is that which may silence their fears and still such storms that nothing can separate them the present calamities of christ s beloved ones supposed that they meet with tribulation on all hands are in distress know not which way to look for any succour and relief in this world are followed with persecution from an angry malicious world that always hated those whom christ loved pinched with famine and starved with nakedness when stripped of all creature comforts exposed to the greatest perils the sword of the magistrate drawn against them ready to be sheathed in their bowels bathed in their blood can a case be supposed more black and dismal in his sixth sermon from 1983 on these verses macarthur points out what s going to make you turn your back or fall away or lose your salvation some kind of heat some kind of pressure what tribulation distress persecution famine nakedness peril sword i mean those are the heavies i mean is it that you get into those kinds of things and you just bail out do those watch this separate us from the love of christ would you notice this please that the love of christ is not talking about your love for him but his love for you what can make him stop loving you because listen beloved your salvation isn t based on your love for him you only love him because he what first loved you and your salvation is based on his love so if you re getting out he s got to change his mind and what s going to do that what s going to cause him to cease to love you we know it s the love that christ has for you because verse 37 emphasizes him that loved us verse 39 emphasizes again from the love of god which is in christ jesus so 37 and 39 put together with 35 tell us that he s talking about the love that christ has for us what s going to break that bond oh you say things come into the life of a person and they bail out what kind of things well all these kinds of things that he names and i think that s just why he names them they re the most stressful things that could be named well what can do that listen to john 13 1 now before the feast of the passover when jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to the father listen to this having loved his own that were in the world he loved them unto the end it says it s unchanging love these are the worst possible attacks i mean these are the worst possible stress situations could they drive us to reject christ could they drive us out of his love and affection could they drive us to doubt him could we falter during those times and could we get weak and could we wonder things and could we maybe fall into a sin and the lord would just shut us off and boot us out by the way this isn t just theory everything in verse 35 paul experienced did you know that all you have to do is remember 2 corinthians and the whole list is there the whole list every one of those and a lot more that are listed there in romans are also listed in 2 corinthians chapter 11 this is not theory this is paul s life and he s saying did tribulation distress persecution famine nakedness peril or sword sever me from christ did it cause him in my moments of weakness to say he s not worth the trouble i m going to abandon him shall that break the bond of christ s love which holds me paul continues the persecution theme citing psalm 44 22 for your sake we are being killed all day long we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered verse 36 henry says it is illustrated v 36 by a passage quoted from ps 44 22 for thy sake we are killed all the day long which intimates that we are not to think strange no not concerning the fiery bloody trial we see the old testament saints had the same lot so persecuted they the prophets that were before us killed all the day long that is continually exposed to and expecting the fatal stroke there is still every day and all the day long one or other of the people of god bleeding and dying under the rage of persecuting enemies accounted as sheep for the slaughter they make no more of killing a christian than of butchering a sheep sheep are killed not because they are hurtful while they live but because they are useful when they are dead they kill the christians to please themselves to be food to their malice they eat up my people as they eat bread ps 14 4 macarthur explains the reason for the quotation verse 36 as it is written as it is written what does that have to do with anything for thy sake we are killed all the day long we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter and he quotes psalm 44 22 out of the septuagint the greek translation of the old testament and what he s saying is hey folks this is old stuff this doesn t take us out of the love of god this just shows us we re in it i mean this isn t anything strange for thy sake we re killed all day long i mean this is the history of those who love god by the way in that passage it s a plea for god to deliver israel in distress and what paul is essentially saying in taking that text is that all the saints of all the ages have endured this it goes with the territory i mean matthew 10 37 39 if you re not willing to say no to your father and your mother and your home and everything else if you re not willing to take up your cross and follow me if you re not willing to pay the price count the cost and come after christ you re not worthy to be what his disciple so paul says it isn t that this drives us from christ this just reminds us we belong to him you see it says in 2 timothy 3 12 as i pointed out many times all that live godly in this present age will suffer persecution i mean it s just the way we know we re really there now if the drive you say what if that kind of stuff really happens to people and it drives them away from christ then the truth of the matter is they were never saved and that is what 1 john 2 19 says and you ought to know this verse because it s a very important verse it says in verse 19 they went out from us 1 john 2 19 they went out from us but they were not of us for if they had been of us they would have continued with us but they went out from us that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us you understand the point when somebody goes that doesn t mean they lost their salvation that s proof that they never really had it they never had it oh no verse 36 says for thy sake we re killed all day long and that s just all day long stuff that s nothing new notice the little phrase for thy sake for thy sake expresses a willingness it does it expresses a beautiful willingness on the part of god s truly redeemed people to bear the cross and it s just what the savior said those who are my true disciples are willing to take up the cross for thy sake we re willing to suffer for thy sake we re willing to pay a price to count the cost paul affirms the believer s willingness to suffer for christ and emerge in glory by acknowledging his loving power no in all these things we are more than victorious through him who loved us verse 37 henry discusses the victory of the persecuted with real life quotations from martyrs 3 the triumph of believers in this v 37 nay in all these things we are more than conquerors 1 we are conquerors though killed all the day long yet conquerors a strange way of conquering but it was christ s way thus he triumphed over principalities and powers in his cross it is a surer and a nobler way of conquest by faith and patience than by fire and sword the enemies have sometimes confessed themselves baffled and overcome by the invincible courage and constancy of the martyrs who thus overcame the most victorious princes by not loving their lives to the death rev 12 11 2 we are more than conquerors in our patiently bearing these trials we are not only conquerors but more than conquerors that is triumphers those are more than conquerors that conquer first with little loss many conquests are dearly bought but what do the suffering saints lose why they lose that which the gold loses in the furnace nothing but the dross it is no great loss to lose things which are not a body that is of the earth earthy secondly with great gain the spoils are exceedingly rich glory honour and peace a crown of righteousness that fades not away in this the suffering saints have triumphed not only have not been separated from the love of christ but have been taken into the most sensible endearments and embraces of it as afflictions abound consolations much more abound 2 cor 1 5 there is one more than a conqueror when pressed above measure he that embraced the stake and said welcome the cross of christ welcome everlasting life he that dated his letter from the delectable orchard of the leonine prison he that said in these flames i feel no more pain than if i were upon a bed of down she who a little before her martyrdom being asked how she did said well and merry and going to heaven those that have gone smiling to the stake and stood singing in the flames these were more than conquerors 3 it is only through christ that loved us the merit of his death taking the sting out of all these troubles the spirit of his grace strengthening us and enabling us to bear them with holy courage and constancy and coming in with special comforts and supports thus we are conquerors not in our own strength but in the grace that is in christ jesus we are conquerors by virtue of our interest in christ s victory he hath overcome the world for us john 16 33 both the good things and the evil things of it so that we have nothing to do but to pursue the victory and to divide the spoil and so are more than conquerors however brutal persecution aside macarthur tells us how we can conquer in a similar way in our everyday lives the reason you stay saved isn t because you hold on it s because he holds on and he s not going to break his grip through those things and you from your side are going to persevere he doesn t let go of his grip and you don t either because you re steadfast to the end that s the mark of a true believer john 8 31 32 many believed on his name and he said to them if you continue in my word then you re my real disciple it s the continuers the ones who hold on that give evidence that god is holding them and so in all these things not only does it not blow us out of our salvation instead of that we become super conquerors the word here is a tremendous word hypernikmen we use the word nike to speak of a missile it s from this word conquer nika the verb nike conquering and we re super niks super conquerors winners of a sweeping surpassing overwhelming victory we don t just win we win big i mean when we get hit with tribulation and we get hit with distress and persecution and we get hit with famine and nakedness and peril and sword we don t just squeak through we come out roaring super conqueror you say how can you be a super conqueror you either win or lose well no it s more than that we don t just win we come out super conquerors for two reasons reason number one is that when we come out the whole thing makes us better than when we started because everything that happens in our lives is refining us right and as i told you earlier when we go through these kinds of struggles we come out hating sin more loving righteousness more desiring more of god understanding ourselves better able to help others because we ve been through it it just enriches us every way you look at it the person who s been through these things and seen the ugliness of their own sin and seen their own weakness and their own flesh and seen all the struggles they have comes out the other side with a better understanding of themselves a greater longing for god a greater hunger for holiness all of that is good so it s not just a victory it s a victory that we come out better for it we re super conquerors not only that let me give you a second reason we re super conquerors it s because every one of those things works for us a far greater eternal weight of glory ultimately there will be a greater reward each time we go through those kinds of things which do not separate us from the love of christ but refine us we not only come out better people here and now but we come out the recipients of greater reward then and there and that s the super conquering aspect it s a great thought it s a great thought and so i mean paul really defuses that argument you think that those kinds of things are going to separate you from the love of christ just the opposite just the opposite when a true believer goes through those kinds of things all of a sudden the spirit of grace and glory rests on him and he sees things that he never saw before about what he ought to be he sees his weakness yes and he sees the strength of god he wants to run from his own sin and run to the holiness of god with a greater sense of direction than ever before perhaps and out of that comes a pure...
