Go Forth Unto Him!

”Let brotherly love continue.” | Hebrews 13: 1

If you confess to this world that all your hope is — not in yourself – but in Christ Jesus your Lord whose suffering without the camp made you holy and accepted with God eternally then you will be an offense to this world.

Glorying in the cross of Christ means renouncing any sanctifying, justifying work that you, or any other man, has or can perform.

Glorying in the cross of Christ is to give yourself, your time, your energy, your all to worship and witness of Christ Jesus your Lord and Savior.

”Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3: 12)

If you leave behind this self-serving, self-righteous, will-worshipping generation and go forth unto Christ without the camp then you shall bear reproach.

You will bear it from unbelieving fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, friends and family, but the Lord stated that if we love any more than him we are not worthy of him.

You will bear scorn from the religious world.

Remember: the reproach which Christ suffered was at the hands of religious men and women — religion excommunicated him, kicked him out of the camp, because they would not confess their sin, let go of their self-righteous deeds, and confess him to be Lord and Savior.

The political, secular world rejected him because faith in Christ requires no compromise and the world’s system requires you to compromise to the world’s government, business, and popularity.

It is fine with the world if you serve Christ and the world; but Christ is clear that it is an impossibility to do so.

Yet if Christ makes you know in spirit that he was suffering for you then you will find that there is not anything which is too much to suffer for Christ!

Either we go without the camp and bear his reproach or we compromise with the enemies of Christ.

We can not do both.

”Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.” (Hebrews 13: 13)

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach

The Epistle Of Paul To Titus

“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;” | Titus 1: 1

Before we can worship in peace of conscience and liberty of heart, we must know, on the authority of God’s Word and by the power of God’s Spirit, the entire question of sin has been forever settled by the blood of the Divine Sin offering.

All of God’s claims and all our necessities as ruined guilty sinners have been forever answered.

This gives perfect peace; and in the enjoyment of this peace we worship God.

Because we have a perfect sacrifice, we have a perfect conscience.

Serving Two Masters

”No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” | Matthew 6: 24

The orders of the two masters are diametrically opposed.

The one commands you to walk by faith, the other by sight;

…the one to be humble, the other to be proud;

…the one to set your affection on things above, the other to set it on the things on the earth;

…the one to look at things unseen and eternal, the other to look at the things seen and temporal;

…the one to have your conversation in Heaven, the other to cleave to the dust;

…the one to be careful for nothing, the other to be full of anxiety;

…the one to be content with such things as ye have, the other to enlarge your desires as hell;

…the one to be ready to distribute, the other to withhold for self;

…the one to look on things of others, the other to look out for one’s own things;

…the one to seek happiness in the Creator, the other to seek happiness in the creature.

Is it not plain that there is no serving two such masters? “If ye love the one, ye must hate the other; if ye cleave to the one, you must despise the other.”

You cannot serve God and mammon!

To serve mammon, to lay up treasures on earth, is to make present, sensible, worldly things, the great subjects of our thoughts, the great object of our affection.

To serve God, to lay up treasures in Heaven, is just to make the things divine and heavenly the great subjects of our thoughts, and the great objects of our affection. The two things are obviously incompatible.

Scripture says the covetous man is an idolater.

The friendship of the world is enmity with God; and, whosoever will be a friend of the world, must be an enemy of God.
