Mathew 5: Blessings

What Are Absolutes?

Our everyday lives find structure in the thousands of things we accept as truths, from the numbers we use to the names of colors and textures. There are absolutes in the Bible, and they are constants in the spiritual realm, just as "2+2" is a constant in the physical realm.

Absolutes of God is about the Word of God and its building blocks of truth -- "the first principles of the oracles of God" (Hebrews 5:12) -- which have been forgotten or misplaced.

In our society, we have insisted that diversity is good. In reality, what we have are divisions created by an ignorance of God's definition of truth. The one Authority who can settle all arguments in the controversies that divide us is the Holy Ghost, and we have ignored Him!

God's desire is that the words He spoke become alive in His people so that He is seen in His church. God wants to be visible, not only to His church, but also to the whole world. He wants to see truth believed and lived out in front of the entire world.

Seven Absolutes of God

1. God's will for man is that he be perfect in Christ Jesus.

2. The knowledge of good and evil does not produce godly believers or healthy Christians.

3. The natural man does not receive the things of God.

4. Every believer must know the voice of God.

5. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher sent from God to indwell every believer.

6. Once we repent of our sins, we become His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

7. The Bible was written both historically and spiritually.

Matthew 5: Blessings

In the Beatitudes, God provides us with an understanding of our Christian walk and the way we progress in the Spirit. It starts with amnesty and it ends with amnesty; as His grace changes us it also changes how we treat others. The Sermon on the Mount challenges us to be honest about how well we truly rest in Jesus as our Sabbath.

12	Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13	Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14	Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15	Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Hebrews 3

14	For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15	While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16	For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17	But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18	And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19	So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hebrews 3:14-19

Hebrews 4

1	Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2	For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3	For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4	For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5	And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6	Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7	Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8	For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9	There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10	For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
