God preached the gospel to Abraham… but what exactly was that gospel? 🤔📜

Why does Scripture repeatedly speak about the Seed from Genesis onward? 🌱

Who is this Seed, and is the gospel preached to Abraham different from the gospel we preach today, or is it the same gospel revealed progressively? 🔍

Join us this night by 8pm on Making Sense of Scriptures, as we begin to examine this and see how it connects to God’s Eternal Purpose 👑🌍🔥

🔎 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LAST EPISODE OF MAKING SENSE OF SCRIPTURES

Topic: Understanding God’s Eternal Purpose – A Sure Way to Knowing Your Purpose (Part 10)
Text: Ephesians 1:1-10

As we await the coming Kingdom, we have a task that becomes our present purpose, and this purpose must flow from God’s eternal purpose. God establishing His Kingdom on earth is a settled matter that will be fully manifested at the fullness of time.

We cannot force Christ to come; the timing of His return is divinely appointed and set by God Himself. It is not within our power (Acts 1:6–7; Acts 3:19–21; 1 Timothy 6:13–15; 2 Peter 3:12).

The Church Has a Twofold Responsibility:

1. Inward Responsibility — Personal Transformation (Sanctification)
(1 Thessalonians 2:9–12; 2 Peter 1:4)

2. Outward Responsibility — Kingdom Expansion and Mission
God expects us to participate in the expansion of His Kingdom by making disciples.

If we desire to stand before our Master on the last day and hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” then we must pay careful attention to our actual assignment and the true purpose of the Church, so that we do not labour in vain.

No one is rewarded for work they were not assigned to do. Something may be popular and produce visible results, yet still not be God’s will for you (Matthew 7:22–23).

Paul teaches that our work will be tested by fire, and this test will determine whether we receive a reward or suffer loss (1 Corinthians 3:10–15).

The Dangers of Unauthorised Work:

1. Since there is a possibility of suffering loss based on what we build in this life, it is wise to ensure that what we are building now will stand the test in the end.

2. There will always be a conflict of interest when we do not understand what God is doing or what He wants us to do. At times, we may find ourselves engaged in activities that do not have heaven’s backing (Luke 24:15–21; Acts 1:6–8).

God’s desire has always been to populate the earth through the man He created in His image. Though Adam failed, the purpose did not fail. It continued through Abraham and unfolded progressively in God’s redemptive plan (Genesis 3:15; Genesis 12:1–3; Genesis 22:18).

We have established that Christ and the saints will reign when He returns 👑✨.

But as we await that Kingdom, we have a responsibility now—first, to live worthy of it.

We began by examining one clear example of God’s will: never allowing sin to reign in our lives, because we are called to reign in life.

But that is not all.

Tonight by 8pm, on Making Sense of Scriptures (Episode 9), we go deeper.

⚖️ What else can affect our reigning with Christ?
🔥 Are we truly living under His rule now?

🔎 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LAST EPISODE OF MAKING SENSE OF SCRIPTURES

Topic: Understanding God’s Eternal Purpose – A Sure Way to Knowing Your Purpose (Part 8)
Text: Ephesians 1:1-10

The Church Has a Twofold Responsibility:

1. Inward Responsibility — Personal Transformation (Sanctification)

(1 Thessalonians 2:9–12; 2 Peter 1:4)

There will not be a grand entrance into the Kingdom if we fail to do the things outlined in 2 Peter 1:4–11 (NLT).

If living worthy of the Kingdom is necessary as we await its full manifestation, how then do we live worthy? It is simply by living in accordance with God’s will.

The will of God is already established in heaven, but it must also be established on earth. The earth is meant to be an extension of God’s will.
(Matthew 6:9–10).

God’s will is perfectly done in heaven. For the earth to reflect the Kingdom, that same will must be done here.

The will of God must be part and parcel of our lives. If we are not living according to His will, we are frustrating the grace of God. We were created to give God pleasure (Revelation 4:11).

It is not enough to say, “Jesus is Lord”; true lordship is demonstrated in obedience (Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21). If there is a contradiction between what we say and what we do, there is a problem.

Everything God is doing is centred on Christ. If we belong to Him, then the will of God must govern our lives, because while Christ was on earth, He did only the will of the Father (Colossians 1:15–16; John 6:38).

We frustrate the grace of God if we receive the King but fail to do His will (Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21; Revelation 4:11).

The Essence of Being Born Again
It is living to represent the King, not living to please ourselves. Those who do not live for His purpose do not truly understand the Kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).

You are not truly part of the Kingdom if Jesus is not the One influencing your decisions.

Example of God's will:
1. We must not allow sin to reign over us, because we are kings; sin must not have dominion over us (Romans 5:17; Romans 6:12–14).

You have what it takes not to let sin reign in your mortal body (Titus 2:11–14; Romans 6:6; Galatians 2:19–20). You are no longer a slave to sin, because the old nature was crucified with Christ.

The consequence of sin is not merely guilt, but loss of inheritance (1 Corinthians 6:9–10; Galatians 5:19–21).

Sin must not rule over us, because through Christ we have dominion over it.
