The Family of God a sermon by Pastor Nelson Turner - www.AV1611Reformation.com


THE FAMILY OF GOD


KJV Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,KJV Ephesians 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

KJV Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

KJV Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. JV Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

KJV Mark 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.KJV Mark 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

KJV Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.KJV Mark 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

KJV Mark 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,KJV Mark 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.KJV Mark 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.KJV Mark 10:32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,KJV Mark 10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

KJV Matthew 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?KJV Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.KJV Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.KJV Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

KJV Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

KJV Matthew 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,

KJV Matthew 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

KJV John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

KJV 1 John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.KJV 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

JV Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

THE CHRISTIAN UPON HIS CONVERSION TO CHRIST LEAVES HIS FAMILY AND ALL THAT HE HAS TO FOLLOW THE LORD AS COMMANDED IN HIS WORD

KJV 1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

KJV 1 Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

KJV Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

THE CHRISTIAN WILL BE HATED, DESPISED, OR MERELY NEGLECTED BY THOSE THAT ONCE LOVED HIM DEARLY---THE CHRISTIAN WILL FIND NO AFFINITY IN THE SPIRIT WITH UNBELEIVERS, EVEN IF THEY BE MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, HUSBAND OR WIFE

THE CHRISTIAN WILL FIND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD GIVES HIM THE PLAIN COMMAND: KJV Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.JV Ephesians 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

THE CHRISTIAN FINDS HIS SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD AND THE MEN OF THIS WORLD IS ENFORCED BY GOD EVEN WHEN THE CHRISTIAN WOULD ENGRATIATE HIMSELF TO THIS WORLD AND SEEK TO MAKE FRIENDS OF THE MEN IN THE WORLD.

THE MEN OF THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE EASY IN THE PRESENCE OF THOSE WHO HAVE THE HOLY GHOST IN THEM---THE MEN OF THIS WORLD FIND THAT THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF LOVING THE CHRISTIAN IN THE MANNER THEY LOVE THEIR EVIL FRIENDS, SIN, AND THEMSELVES.

The mercy of God in this all is manifest in the statement of Jesus

KJV Mark 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

ETERNAL LIFE IS A SPIRITUAL CONCEPT THAT WILL MANIFEST IN THE PHYCIAL REALM

PERSECUTIONS ARE A PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL SPIRTUAL REALITY TO THE CHRISTIAN

KJV Psalm 35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

KJV Mark 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.KJV Mark 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

KJV Mark 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!KJV Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

KJV John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

KJV Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
