The Beatitudes, part 8
30 December 2008 
Grace to You, John MacArthur
The Old Testament ends with a warning of a curse: “…lest I come and smite the earth with a curse” Mal. 4:6. In juxtaposition to the Old Testament, the New Testament begins with a promise of blessing during Jesus Christ’s Sermon on the Mount. We call these blessings The Beatitudes.
The Old Testament law demonstrates man’s need for salvation. The New Testament offers a Savior – the Lord Jesus Christ. The Beatitudes explain the reason for cursing and indicate that man does not possess his own righteousness by which he could escape the wrath of God. The blessedness Christ offers is not dependent on self-effort or self-righteousness, but on the new nature God gives.
Christ offers blessings instead of cursing to those who sincerely accept righteousness and salvation on His terms.

Spread the Word

Acts 7:1-53 - Stephan’s testimony teaches us the basic foundation for spreading the Word. Stephan shows boldness, nearness to his listeners and knowledge of what he is talking about. These three basics flow from his character as a deacon.

What does God Expect from Us
11 December 2008 Novosibirsk Biblical Theological Seminary
Hosea 6:6 - God through the prophet Hosea teaches that He doesn’t want merely an outward religiousness that you can see much of in this world. Instead He wants real faithfulness to Him. This faithfulness is impossible without a saving knowledge of God. We need to recognize the importance of having a steadfast love for God and an understanding of Him.
