  • Beloved, Now We Are Sons of God | 1 John 3:1-3
    2025/02/16
    Lord's Day: Feb 16, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Topic: Adoption Scripture: 1 John 3:1–3, 1 John 2:23–24, Romans 8:29–32, Hebrews 12:5–11, 1 John 1:9, John 1:17, Galatians 4:4–7, Matthew 7:7–12 I. As the letter progresses, these crescendos keep compounding, keep building up into something glorious! Into a glorious reality, a glorious gospel indicative II. Our Adoption as Sons: Verses 1a and 2-3 III. God first foreknows us, but justification is the beginning of the how—how He accomplishes and applies our redemption IV. Now God calls us His children V. “What manner of love is this?” That the Father has given us? 1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we would be called children of God; and we are [already]. 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. 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 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by Him; 6 For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, And He flogs every son whom He receives.” 7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them. Shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our benefit [our good], so that we may share His holiness. 11 And all discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful, but to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Hebrews 12:5–11 4 “[Because] when the fullness of the time came, God [the Father] sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God [our Father] sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father! [Our Father!]” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God [great expectations!].” Galatians 4:4–7 The Baptist Larger Catechism, Q. 67: What is adoption? A: Adoption is an act of the free grace of God [the Father] in and for His only Son Jesus Christ, by which all those who are justified are received into the number of His children, have His name put upon them, have the Spirit of His Son given to them, are under His fatherly care [and discipline], are welcomed to all the liberties and privileges of the sons of God, and are made heirs of all the promises and fellow heirs with Christ in glory. An Orthodox Catechism, Q. 80: How does the Lord's Supper remind you and assure you that you share in Christ's one sacrifice on the cross and in all his gifts? A. In this way: Christ has commanded me and all believers to eat this broken bread and to drink this cup. With this command he gave this promise: First, as surely as I see with my eyes the bread of the Lord broken for me and the cup given to me, so surely his body was offered and broken for me and his blood poured out for me on the cross. Second, as surely as I receive from the hand of the one who serves, and taste with my mouth the bread and cup of the Lord, given me as sure signs of Christ's body and blood, so surely he nourishes and refreshes my soul for eternal life with his crucified body and poured-out blood.

  • The Father’s Adoptive Love for Us | 1 John 3:1-3
    2025/02/09
    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.

  • How Firm Is Your Foundation? | 1 John 2:28-29
    2025/02/02
    Lord's Day: Feb 2, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Topic: Law & Gospel Distinction Scripture: 1 John 2:27–29, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 3:7, Matthew 7:17–20, 1 John 3:18, James 2:17–18, 1 John 3:2–3, John 5:24–25 27 And as for you, the anointing whom you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as He has taught you, abide in Him. 28 And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He is manifested, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming [before His presence]. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who does righteousness has been born of Him. 1 John 2:27–29 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. 25 Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live." John 5:24–25. The Baptist Larger Catechism, Q143: What are the outward and ordinary means by which Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption? A: The outward and ordinary means by which Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption are His ordinances, particularly the Word, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and prayer; all of which are made effectual to the elect for salvation. Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Timothy 4:16; 1 Corinthians 1:21; Ephesians 5:19-20; Ephesians 6:17-18 Q144: How is the Word made effectual to salvation? A: The Spirit of God causes the reading—and especially the preaching—of the Word to enlighten,[1] convince, and humble sinners.[2] The Spirit drives sinners out of themselves and draws them to Christ;[3] He conforms them to His image[4] and subdues them to His will;[5] He strengthens them against temptations and corrupting influences;[6] and He builds them up in God’s grace[7] and establishes their hearts in holiness and comfort through faith to salvation.[8] Nehemiah 8:8; Acts 26:18; Acts 17:11-12; Psalm 19:81 Corinthians 14:24-25; 2 Chronicles 34:18-19, 26-28; Jeremiah 23:28-29; Hebrews 4:12Acts 2:37-41; Acts 8:27-392 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 1:272 Corinthians 10:4-6; Romans 6:17Matthew 4:4,7,10; Ephesians 6:16-17; Psalm 19:11; 1 Corinthians 10:11; Colossians 1:28Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 3:15-16; Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11Romans 16:25; 1 Thessalonians 3:2, 10-13; Romans 15:4; Romans 10:13-17; Romans 1:16 Francis Turretin: “Christ will be the judge in that very visible nature in which he was condemned for us…. This he will do especially both for the greater consolation of the pious [believers] (who will look upon him as their defender and Advocate instead of their judge) and for the greater terror and confusion of the wicked [unbelievers, hypocrites, antichrists, etc.]… The process of the judgment is such that mention may indeed be made of good works, but not of their evil works…. The pious will not hear the publication of their sins, but the reward of their love and beneficence.” (Institutes of Elenctic Theology, 20th topic, Q. 6) John Calvin: “...for it is impossible to think of the dreadful majesty of God without being filled with alarm [which 1 Jn 2:28 also addresses]; and hence the sense of our own unworthiness must keep us far away [i.e., “shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.” That is—] until Christ interpose [intervenes, advocates, mediates], and convert a throne of dreadful glory into a throne of grace, as the Apostle teaches that thus we can “come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16)…. Christ given to us by the kindness of God is apprehended and possessed by faith [alone], by means of which we obtain in particular a twofold benefit: first, being reconciled by the righteousness of Christ [alone], God becomes, instead of a judge, an indulgent Father; and, secondly, being sanctified by his Spirit [His anointing], we [therefore] aspire [strive] to integrity and purity of life.[23]” (Institutes of the Christian Religion, III.xx.17; III.xi.1) The very same doctrine which Martin Luther proclaimed to be the article by which the church stands or falls, and which John Calvin trumpeted as the principal ground [foundation] on which religion must be supported, [the hinge on which religion turns!], and which forged the conflict with Rome during the Protestant Reformation, and resulted in the largest schism in the history of the church—is the doctrine of justification by faith alone.
