TEN  OF THE GREATEST THINGS in the BIBLE -

 JOHN 3. 16 - GOD's LOVE TOWARD US

THE RESURRECTION

ROMANS ch. 1: v. 1 -4 

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,

called to be an apostle, 

separated unto the 

Gospel of God, (which

had promised afore by the 

prophets 

in the Holy Scriptures.) 

Concerning His Son Jesus Christ

which was made of the seed of 

David according to the flesh, 

And declared to be the Son of God 

with power,

according to the 

spirit of Holiness, 

by the resurrection

from the dead: 

In this Paul declares

that the 

RESURRECTION 

is the 

reality 

of God's love

toward us.

Let us consider 

His Love.

JOHN 3 .16

FOR GOD SO LOVED 

THE WORLD, 

THAT HE GAVE 

HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN

SON, THAT 

WHOSOEVER

BELIEVETH IN HIM

SHOULD NOT PERISH,

BUT

HAVE EVERLASTING 

LIFE. 

CONSIDER THESE 10 

GREAT 

TRUTHS  

FOUND IN THE BIBLE, 

KJV - THE HOLY BIBLE

1.  GOD SO LOVED

IT IS GOD Who has

taken the initiative.

I John 4.19 

We love Him, because 

He first loved us.

2. GOD'S LOVE was

demonstrated to 

the WORLD 

His Love included all of us,

everyone.

3.  GOD'S LOVE in giving

the gift of HIS ONLY

BEGOTTEN SON

- 

The SON of GOD was

from everlasting ...

 John 1.1  In the beginning 

was the Word, and 

the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God. 

John 1.2 The same was in the 

beginning with God. 

John 1.3 All things were made

by Him, and without Him

was not anything 

made

that was made.

John 1.4 

In Him was Life,

and the Life

was the Light of men. 

Think of it.

God the Father, who is 

Spirit always was 

with the Son

there never 

was a time

when 

they were apart.

The Holy Spirit 

is spoken of in 

God's Word the Bible

as "GOD." 

When Jesus was born in

Bethlehem, he did 

not begin then - 

He "was from everlasting" 

He Himself said in 

John 14.6 

I am the Way, the 

Truth, and 

the Life, 

No man cometh unto

the Father,

but by me.

When asked by Philip that

He show them the way, Jesus 

said "Have I been with you

so long a time with you , and yet

thou hast not known me, 

Philip?  he that hath seen

me hath seen the Father,: 

and how sayest thou then,

Show us the Father?

Believest thou not that 

I am in the Father,

and the Father in me?

the words that I speak 

unto you, I speak not

of myself, but the Father

that dwelleth in me, He 

doeth the works.

Believe me that I 

am in the Father,

and the Father in me: 

or else believe me for the

very works' sake. 

John 14. 6 -11

4. God's Love is the Greatest

Possession of any thing 

ever given to us.  HIS LOVE

is demonstrated from Genesis

to Revelation in that

His SON JESUS CHRIST is 

revealed in the Bible

from cover to cover.

EVERLASTING LIFE 

is the greatest possession

any one can receive.

It is available to
any 
who
will receive 
HIS GIFT OF HIS SON

5.  HIS LOVE IS FOR 

WHO SO EVER 

WILL BELIEVE

ON HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

John 1.12 

As many as received Him,

to them gave He power

to become the sons of God,

even to them that believe

on His name.

6. THE GREATEST SIMPLICITY

that GOD has given us - 

the SIMPLE 

ACT Of

BELIEVING

to trust 

to rely 

to lean upon

to put my confidence in 

SIMPLE 

FAITH

JOHN 12.48 -50

He that rejecteth me, and

receiveth not my words, hath 

one that judgeth him: the word

that I have spoken, the same

shall judge him in the last

day. For I have not spoken

of myself: but the Father

which sent me, he gave me

a commandment, what I should say,

and what I should speak.

And I know that His commandment

is life everlasting: whatsoever

I speak, therefore,

as the Father hath

said unto Me, so I speak.

John 8. 48 - 50

7. JESUS CHRIST has offered us

 

EVERLASTING LIFE -

 TO BELIEVE ON HIM IS THE GREATEST

DELIVERY 

of any promise

of any hope

of any prospect

IT IS THE SURE HOPE

IN A TROUBLED WORLD.

8.   THE GREATEST TRAGEDY

is to reject the SAVIOR

GOD"S GREATEST GIFT

is GIVEN

but He gives us a choice

He never pushes

He never chides

He only gives 

the C H O I C E 

9.  WE HAVE THEREFORE THE 

GREATEST NECESSITY 

TO  RECEIVE BY FAITH 

THROUGH GRACE

Underserved 

Unwanted

Disregarded

Disdained

YET 

GOD STILL OFFERS

A N Y O N E 

the Gift of Forgiveness

of Everlasting Life

IN HIS SON

 10.EVERLASTING

comes with

knowing

I as a sinner

need a Savior 

 God gives this 

FREE GIFT

that

when I accept the payment

of the BLOOD of JESUS

as my payment

for my sin 

debt

He not only gives 

me 

THE SPIRIT 

of JESUS 

to dwell in me.

I no longer 

am alive to sin, 

but alive to God.

I no longer 

am beholden

to 

my old sin nature

the world 

or the 

devil

for GOD 

IS 

NOW 

MY LORD AND SAVIOR

JESUS CHRIST

who 

when Love comes 

in 

fear 

goes out the door.

I John 5.4 

For whatsoever is born

of God overcometh the 

world: and this is 

the VICTORY

that overcometh

the world, 

even our 

F A I T H.

We now have

two natures,

the old and the new

The NEW is LIFE

Life living now

in Christ. 

The Greatest Gift ever given

GOD'S LOVE. 

Romans 3.23

For all have

sinned 

and come short

of the glory of God.

Romans 6.23

For the wages of sin

is death,

but the gift of God

is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ,

Our Lord. 

Isaiah 53.6 

All we like sheep have

gone astray:

we have turned

every one

to his own way;

and the LORD

hath laid on Him 

the iniquity of us all.

Luke 9.23, 24

And he said to them all,

If any man will come 

after me, let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross

daily, 

and follow me.

For whosoever

will save his life, shall

lose it: But whosoever will

lose his life for my sake shall

the same shall save it. 

I urge you to consider

that Jesus said

He is coming soon to 

take HIS BRIDE HOME

TO HIMSELF

and that means

every one who

names the Name

of Christ who truly

believes

will go to be 

with HIM...

ARE YOU READY? 

Rev. 22.19 

He which testifies

these things saith, Surely I come 

quickly.   Amen.  Even so,

come, Lord Jesus. 

Galatians 2.20 

I am crucified with Christ; 

nevertheless I live;

yet not I, 

but Christ,

liveth in me:

and I life which I now live

in the flesh, I live

by the faith

of the Son of God, 

who loved

me

and gave 

Himself for me.

Galatians 2.20 

WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN LIKE? - Sermon: by William Henry Cash Jr (1927 -2012) Transcribed by June Estelle Cash - Lilaclady Junebug2

                WHAT IS A  
                  CHRISTIAN LIKE?  

            Sermon by Wm Henry Cash,Jr 
          Nov 25 , 1962 
          Westside Baptist Church 
            Lakeview OR 

 

          TEXT  

II Timothy 2: 1 - 26 
     Ephesians 4.10 - 18 

          

I.  A CHRISTIAN is FIRST A  S O N. 

   

                                     II Timothy 2. v.1. 

                          Thou, therefore,                          

          my son, be strong 

in the grace 

     that is  in Christ Jesus.

v.2.  And the things  

         that thou hast heard of me 

      among many witnesses,

     the lsame commit 

    thou to faithful men who

       shall be able to  

          teach others also. 

        A. He is to be strong in grace.  

         Hebrews 4.16  Let us therefore  

        come boldly unto the throne  

        of grace that we may obtai 

          mercy, and find grace to help 

          in time of need. 

           II Peter 3.18  But grow in grace, 

            and in the knowledge of our    

            Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

             To Him be glory both     

               now and for ever. Amen. 

       B.Grace goes with Sonship,
          The Law goes with service.  

  

          John 1.17  For the Law was  

         given by Moses,  but grace  

           and truth came by Jesus Christ.  

      C. He is to communicate this grace to others.  

        I Timothy 1.18  

           This charge  I commit unto thee,  

          son Timothy,  which went before  

          thee,accordin  to the prophecies  

           that though mightest war  

                       a good warfare.  

       II. He Is A GOOD SOLDIER.    

 II Timothy 2.3,4    

         v.3 Thou therefore endure  

              hardness as a good soldier  

               of Jesus Christ. 

            v.4  No man that warreth 

                Entagleth himself with the  

                  affairs of this life,  

           that he may please him who hath  

               chosen him to be a soldier.  

          Ephesians 6.10 - 18  

               v.10. Finally, my brethren,  

             be strong in the Lord, 

               and in the power of his might. 

            v.11 Put on the whole armor of God, 

               that ye may be able to stand  

              against the  

              wiles of the devil.  

             v.12 For we wrestle not  

             against flesh and blood,  

            but against principalities,   

               against powers, against 

                the ruler of the darkness  

        of this world, against spiritual  

           wickedness in high places.  

      13. Wherefore take unto you  

          the whole armor of God,  

           that he may be able to withstand 

            in the evil day, and having  

            done all, to stand.

v. 14 Stand, therefore,

  having your loins

 girt with truth,

                and having on the               

  breastplate of 

righteousness:

v.15  And your feet shod

with the preparation  

          of the gospel of peace,  

         v.16 Above all, taking the  

         shield of faith, 

     wherewith ye  shall be 

           able to  quench 

           all the fiery darts 

                  of the wicked.  

           v.17 And take the helmet 

                         of salvation ,  

               and the sword of  the Spirit, 

                which is the Word of God.  

                         v.18 Praying                    

                always with all prayer  

               and supplication 

             in the Spirit, 

             and watching  

               thereunto with all  

                 perseverance and 

                     supplication for all saints. 

    

                 A. He is to endure hardness.      

    

          II Timothy 4.5  But watch 

               thou in all things,

                endure afflictions,  

                    do the work of an 

               evangelist, make full  

                  proof of your ministry. 

                  B. He is to avoid worldly 

 

                    entanglements. 

 

              I Corinthians 9. v.26,27  

              v,26. And every man  

               that striveth

                  for the mastery is  

                   temperate in all things.  

                  Now they do it to obtain a  

                    corruptible crown,  

                    but we an in 

                      v.27. But I keep under my body, 

             and bring it 

            into subjection: lest that  

                                    by any means, when I                                   have  preached to others,

             I myself should be a  

         castaway.  

           III.  HE IS AN ATHLETE.

  II Timothy 2.5 And if a 

    man also strive

          for masteries, 

                       is he not crowned,  

                        except he strive lawfully.  

                    A.   He is running in a race,  

                     or, striving in a contest.  

 

 

                    Philippians 3.12 - 14.  

                    v.12. Wherefore, my beloved, as  

                         ye have always obeyed,  

                         not as in my presence only, but  ,  

                            now much more in my absence,  

                            work out your own  

                                     salvation  

                                      with fear and trembling.  

                        v.13 For it is God  

                          which worketh in you  

                          both to will and to do

                            of his good pleasure.   

                        v.14.  Do all things without  

                         murmurings and  

                          disputings.  

   
                          

                     B. He is to run with patience

looking to Jesus.

           Hebrews 12.1,2. 

                     v.1  Wherefore seeing we 

also are 

                          compassed about  

                            with so great 

                                 a cloud of witnesses,              

                             let us lay aside

       every weight, 

                                 and the sin whic 

                                            so easily beset us,  

                     and let us run  

                                  with patience  

                                   the race that is set

                            before us,  

       v.2  Looking unto  

                      Jesus the author  

                        and finisher  

                                   of our faith, who 

                              for the joy that was set  

                                                   before him endured the                                         cross, despising 

                          the shame, 

                        and is set down at 

                          the right hand 

                                          of the throne of God. 

        IV. HE IS AN HUSBANDMAN -

                        - A FARMER   

                 A.  He must be a partaker of the fruits. 

 

                          II Timothy 2.6  The husbandman

           that laboureth 

                                   must be first partaker 

                              of the fruits.  

             II Timothy 2.7 Consider 

     what I say, 

                                  and the Lord give thee 

                                  understanding

                 in all things. 

        Remember  

                          that Jesus Christ  

                                                    of the seed of David  

       was raised

                     from the dead  

                                                   according to my gospel.   

      

                          B. He is a tiller of soils, 

                              a hard worker.    

                        Galatians 6: 7,8 Be not deceived:  

                 God is not mocked: 

                                             for whatsoever a man

                            soweth that shall 

                                     he also reap. 

                 For he that soweth 

                to his flesh 

                                       shall of the flesh

                                     reap  corruption; 

                   but he that soweth 

                                to the Spirit shall of 

                                 the Spirit 

                                               reap everlasting life.  

 C. He is willing 

                     to endure hardness.

                II Tim. 2.9,10 Wherein

         I suffer trouble, 

                               as an evildoer,  

                                               even  unto bonds,  

                 but the word of God 

              is not  

                             bound.  

               Therefore I endure 

                             all things for 

                                           the elect's sakes, 

that they 

                                           may also obtain the  

                                         salvation which' 

                                                     is in Christ Jesus 

                                       with eternal glory. 

             Ephesians 6.19,20 And for

                      me, that utterance may

                                       be given unto me,

                            that  I may open my 

                      mouth boldly, to make

                           known the mystery 

                             of the gospel,

for which         

                   I am an ambassador

                                  in  bonds: that therein 

                       may speak boldly, 

                        as I ought to speak. 

V. HE IS A WORKMAN. 

                   2 Timothy 2.15   Study 

to shew  

                             thyself approved 

                 unto God,     

                                    a workman that

needeth not  

                           to be ashamed,

           rightly dividing

                           the word of truth.  

                                            

               A. He will study that 

 

                                    he will be approved before God. 

 

                  II Peter 1.10   Wherefore

                the rather,  

                                               brethren, give diligence  

                                to make your calling 

                     and election sure:  

                     for

              if you do these things 

                                       ye shall never fall.   

  B. He is a workman who studies

God's Word  knowing it is God's Truth.

Psalm 119.105

They word is a lamp unto

my feet, and a 

light 

unto my path.

C.  He will rightfully divide God's Word.

      D.  He will shun unnecessary discussion.  

        II Timothy 2.16   But shun profane 

   and vain babblings: 

                     for they will increase unto  

                      more ungodliness.   

       E.  He will be honorable 

                 before the Lord.

Titus 2.11 - 13-  For the grace

of God that bringeth

salvation hath

appeared to all men, 

teaching us that, 

denying ungodliness

and worldly lusts,

we should live

soberly,

righteously, 

and godly in 

this present world;

Looking for that 

blessed hope,

and the glorious

appearing of the great 

God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

             

   VI.  THE CHRISTIAN IS A VESSEL 

2 Timothy 2.20 - 23. 

v.20. But in a great

 house there are  not only vessels 

                                    of gold and silver but also 

              of wood and of earth;  

                                     and some to honor, 

                 and some to dishonor. 

                         v. 21. If a man therefore purge 

                            himself from these,  

                                    he shall be a vessel unto honor, 

                             sanctified, and meet 

                                      for the Master's use, 

                            and prepared unto every  

                                        good work.    

                                   22. Flee also youthful lusts: 

                                      but follow righteousness,  

                                     faith, charity, peace, with them  

                       that call of the Lord 

                           out of a pure heart.   

                                     23. But foolish and unlearned  

                    questions  

                                   avoid, knowing  

                                      that they do gender  

                                strifes.   

                               A. He will be cleansed, ready  

                      for service, separated unto 

                                     the Lord.    

                                          II Timothy 3.17   That the man  

                      of God  

                                      may be throughly

                  together  

                                       with unbelievers: 

                                  for what fellowship 

                                   hath righteousness  

                                            with unrighteousness?   

                        and what communion 

                                      hath light with darkness? 

                                                          v.15  And what concord hath   

                                                           the whole armor of God,  

         that he may be able to withstand 

                  in the evil day, and having  

  done all, to stand.  v. 14 Stand, 

                       therefore, having your loins girt about 

                                            with truth, and                                           

 having on the 

 breastplate of righteousness:  

v.15 And your 

          feet shod with the preparation  

of the gospel of peace,  

                    v.16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, 

 wherewith ye  shall be able to  quench 

  all the fiery darts 

 of the wicked.

   and the sword of  the Spirit, 

                which is the Word of God.  

v.18 Praying                    

                              always with all prayer  

and supplication 

 in the Spirit,

      make full  

               proof of your ministry. 

                         B. He is to avoid worldly  

                       entanglements.  

                   I Corinthians 9. v.26,27  

              v,26. And every man  

that  

                    striveth for the mastery is  

                     temperate in all things.  

                      Now they do it to obtain a  

                       corruptible crown,  

                       but we an incorruptible.   

                                      v.27. But I keep under my body, 

and bring it 

                                       into subjection: lest that  

                  by any means, when I  

                                        have  preached to others, 

             I myself should be a  

                   VII.    HE IS AN ATHLETE.    

                II Timothy 2.5   And if a man also  

               strive for masteries, yet  

                                    is he not crowned,  

                         except he strive lawfully.  

                          A.   He is running in a race,  

                       or, striving in a contest.  

                                   Philippians 3.12 - 14.  

                    v.12. Wherefore, my beloved, as  

                                    ye have always obeyed,  

                     not as in my presence only, but  ,  

                                        now much more in my absence, 

work out your own  

      salvation  

                           with fear and trembling.  

v.13 For it is God  

                                       which worketh in you  

                    both to will and to do of his good 

                          pleasure.   

          v.14.  Do all things without  

                         murmurings and  

                               disputings.

      looking to Jesus. 

           Hebrews 12.1,2. 

                           v.1  Wherefore seeing we also are 

                                          compassed about  

                                 with so great a cloud of witnesses,  

                                           let us lay aside every weight, 

and the sin which  

                                            so easily beset us,  

      and let us run  

                         with patience  

                       the race that is set before us,  

v.2  Looking unto  

                       Jesus the author  

                        and finisher  

                                   of our faith, who 

                                  for the joy that was set  

                    before him endured the  

                                             cross, despising the shame,  

                                        and is set down at 

                          the right hand 

                              of the throne of God.  

                             IV. HE IS AN HUSBANDMAN

 laboureth 

                                   must be first partaker 

                              of the fruits.

                                         and the Lord give thee 

                          understanding in all things. 

 Remember  

                    that Jesus Christ  

                                                    of the seed of David  

                           was raised from the dead  

                                according to my gospel.         

                          B. He is a tiller of soils,  

                              a hard worker.    

                                Galatians 6: 7,8 Be not deceived:  

God is not mocked: 

                                for whatsoever a man soweth,  

                          that shall he also reap. 

                                For he that soweth to his flesh 

                     shall of the flesh reap 

                                corruption; 

                      but he that soweth 

                                to the Spirit shall of 

                                 the Spirit 

•                                            reap everlasting life.   

•                             C. He is willing 

•                                      to endure hardness. ing 

•                                     II Tim. 2.9,10 Wherein I suffer  

•                           trouble, as an evildoer,  

•                     even  unto bonds,  

•                                     but the word of God is not  

•                                           bound.  

•                        Therefore I endure 

•                             all things for the elect's sakes, 

• that they 

•                                            may also obtain the  

•                     salvation which' 

•                            is in Christ Jesus 

•                                        with eternal glory. 

•                                   Ephesians 6.19,20 And for me, that 

•                            utterance may be  

•                                    given unto me, that I may 

•                         open my mouth boldly, to 

•                                           make known the mystery  

•                      of the gospel, for which  

•                                            I am an ambassador 

•                                          in bonds: that  

•                               therein I may speak boldly,  

•                                              as I ought to speak.  

• V. HE IS A WORKMAN. 

•                    2 Timothy 2.15   Study to shew  

•                              thyself approved unto God,     

•                                           a workman that needeth not  

•                    to be ashamed, rightly 

•                                             dividing the word of truth.  

•                        A. He will study so that  

•                                      he will be approved before God.  

•                                   II Peter 1.10   Wherefore the rather,  

•                       brethren, give  

•                      diligence  

•                             to make your calling 

•                                                      and election sure:  

•                                        for if you do these things 

•                                        ye shall never fall.   

•   B. He is a workman that  

•                              C. He rightly divides the word of truth.  

•                                 D.  He will shun unnecessary discussion.  

•                                        II Timothy 2.16   But shun profane 

•                and vain  

•                                    babblings:  

•                                    for they will increase unto  

• more ungodliness.   

•             E.  He will be honorable 

•                  before the Lord.              

•            VI.  HE IS A VESSEL   

•                    2 Timothy 2.20 - 23 

•                               v.20. But in a great house there are

•               of wood and of earth;  

•                                      and some to honor, 

•                  and some to dishonor. 

•                          v. 21. If a man therefore purge 

•                             himself from these,  

•                                     he shall be a vessel unto honor, 

•                              sanctified, and meet 

•                                       for the Master's use, 

•                             and prepared unto every  

•                                         good work.    

•                                    22. Flee also youthful lusts: 

•                                       but follow righteousness,  

•                                      faith, charity, peace, with them  

•                        that call of the Lord 

•                            out of a pure heart.   

•                                      23. But foolish and unlearned  

•                     questions  

•                                    avoid, knowing  

•                                       that they do gender  

•                                 strifes.   

•                                A. He will be cleansed, ready  

•                       for service, separated unto

•                                        furnished  

•                                                     unto all good works.  

•                       II Corinthians 6.14 - 18   

•                        v.14 Be ye not unequally yoked 

•                   together  

•                                        with unbelievers: 

•                                   for what fellowship 

•                                    hath righteousness  

•                                             with unrighteousness?
