This lovely gem from Owen, quoted here, made me pause and wonder at our Lord: ""Nothing renders us so like unto God as our love unto Jesus Christ."
I don’t know why it made me cry, but when it stated only one of his 11 children survived to adulthood,and he was such a giant in his writings, it hit home to me the power on complete faith in the decree of God.
'Spiritually cold? Consider Christ in His glory.' This is just so true. More than thinking service unto Him would change us, it is by the beholding/pondering upon of Him that we become changed and thus spiritually fervent.
That and the beating. Lol
@@aletheia8054 LOL the flesh hates us rn
So good - Brilliant
Brilliant! Thank you
John Owen Hughes is my great great great great Grandpa. This is amazing to hear this
Are you a congregationalist Puritan as well?😄
@@kabodra please define and explain you’re strange question 🙋♀️
@@geobigntall3830 What didn't you get? I was asking what's your religion
@@kabodra oh ok…I am a Bible believing Christian…I believe God himself paid for our debt with his own life., arose from the dead by taking the keys from death Those who seek him and learn about him will establish an intimate relationship ..and that the church is the temple of the Holy Spirit in you and the body are the ones who meet in a physical building the world calls a church. I haven’t been to that building since Covid. They locked and chained the doors out of fear of Government and their sickness. I was raised Pentecostal but their are holes in their doctrines not in the Bible.
@@kabodra I guess you could say Baptist
Thank you, great sermon, well done and enlightening, God Bless you Pastor Reeves.
한국어로 번역된 존 오웬의 책을 읽는 중에, 이 강의가 도움이 됩니다. 고맙습니다. I have now real view for God thanks to Owen.
Excellent teaching…thank you
Wonderful
Can God fix the world any time He feels like it?
Yes.
So why doesn't He?
Because He has His reasons
and His reasons are beyond our comprehension.
Thank you so much for clearing that up.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
2 Peter 3:
‘Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
The Day of the Lord
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.’
Michael Reeves does a great simple book on understanding the trinity ‘The Good God’

I've been aware for some time now that the word, "evangelical" was used in the sixteenth century. We can presume it was used in the seventeenth century as well. I suspect, however, it is a word that was understood quite differently in those centuries compared to the way it is understood by most of my United States compatriots today. Can someone (anyone/everyone) please help us understand these differences?
It means (one who brings/carries) good news from the Greek εὐαγγέλιον
18:53 Does this mean Owen believed there was no Old Testament elect?
no
In the Old testament the elect were saved by God, in the New Testament the elect are saved by Christ. Why, because they are one God and the prophets of old were carried along by the Holy Spirit as they wrote what they wrote just like the Apostles in the New Testament, because the three are all One God. Good question to ask the JW"s, because God is the only savior, but the bible says Jesus is the savior.
video and audio are not in sync.
It was fine for me.
No issues here either
@@HearGodsWord And it's sync'd now! And doesn't Dr. Reeves have a great radio voice? Great for podcasts...
@@xyzzy7145 very true. I was disappointed when I got one of his books as an audio book and it wasn't him reading it.
John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Revelation Chapter 14
3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were
Owen was wrong, there is no such thing as an independent church. Even the Apostle Paul had to gain the approval and be sent out by the church in Jerusalem.
He really didn't 🤦🏻♂️
Was that an authorisation by a gathered authority or an attempt at gaining unity on such an important event?
