Aug 26, 2016 · Proverbs 3:5-6. David chose to seek God’s will and glory in everything he did. He was a man after God’s own heart. In Acts 13:22 Paul described David this way, And when he had removed him [Saul] , he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do ...

Where do we find compulsion in the New Testament? On the darkest day in the history of the world, Roman soldiers compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, to carry Jesus’s cross (Matthew 27:32; Mark 15:21). And three times in Galatians, Paul mentions false teachers trying to force Gentile Christians to do what they do not want to do, namely, be circum...
But “inside out” alone is not enough. Some desires of the heart are holy, righteous, and good; others are not. Whereas “compulsion” or “force” comes from the outside, the desire for “shameful gain” comes from within. So 1Peter 5:2 is not just saying don’t be forced from without, but also don’t be driven from within by sinful (selfish) desires, but ...
But the best phrase of all in 1 Peter 5:2 sits right in the middle: “not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly.” God himself is like this.

Feb 19, 2018 · In other words, we’re beyond salvation. “What destroys the soul is an eager, deliberate, willing, persistent, settled pattern of sin.”. Now, two observations about this phrase “go on sinning deliberately” are really important. First, the word deliberately translates the Greek hekousiōs. This word is used in 1 Peter 5:2 like this ...
Jul 10, 2013 · In the other corner: The new challenger, the inner man, joyfully concurring with the law of God. Paul wants to do good (7:21). He says (7:22), “For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man.”. He says that with his mind he is serving the law of God (7:25). This must refer to the mind of a regenerate man.
Jun 28, 2004 · Peter’s Capitulation and Paul’s Correction (Galatians 2:11-21) As today is my father’s birthday, I am inclined to reflect upon some of my memories of my father and me. Even though my dad and I had our confrontations, they never lasted long. For example, I remember one occasion at the dinner table when I had corrected my younger brother.
