Lord's Day: Feb 9, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Topic: Adoption Scripture: 1 John 2:29– 3:3, Hebrews 5:13–14, 1 Corinthians 13:12, Matthew 5:48, John 17:3, John 15:18–19, Galatians 1:10 1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we would be called children of God [this great gift of God’s adoptive love!]; and we are [already, gospel indicatives--Mark them well]. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not been manifested as yet what we will be [guaranteed! By His adoptive love]. We know that when He is manifested [rather: “when it does become evident”], we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is [and His Son shall glorify us and take us home]. 3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure [hagnos, same root from hagios "holy"]. 1 John 3:1-3 “For am I [and by extension, are we] now seeking the favor of men [worldly], or of God? Or am I striving to please men [of the world? Of Vanity Fair? Men like The Pilgrim's Progress Worldly Wiseman of Carnal Policy, who dissuaded Christian from the Evangelist’s counsel to go to the wicket-gate to have his burden removed before the Cross, and instead misled him into going instead to “yonder village (the village named Morality) [where] there dwells a gentleman whose name is Legality, a very judicious man”]? If I were still trying to please men [like these], I would not be a slave of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 See also "The Logos of Life" to see further (pun intended) how sense perception is often used in Scripture as a metaphor for understanding, knowing, etc. We meet on Sundays for worship at 10:00am: ThornCrown Covenant Baptist Church4712 Montana AveEl Paso, Texas 79903 Contact us at: web: ThornCrownCovenant.Churchcall/text: (915) 843-8088email: ThornCrownCovenantBChurch@gmail.com Scripture quotations taken from the (LSB®) Legacy Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
