    Series: Sundays after Pentecost, Wounds That Heal

    Speaker: Pastor David Ruddat

    Topic: baptism, Buddha, Christ, Christians, Divides, Division, Earth, Faith, Fire, God's Word, Heal, Heaven, Jesus, Peace, Salvation, Savior, sin, Washing, Wounds

    We often divide humanity into groupings that are not really significant: this ethnic group versus that one, men versus women, wealthy versus poor. Yet, every ethnic group is under God’s law. That law equally convicts men and women of sin. Because of sin, both the wealthy and poor will die. Only through faith in Christ is sin forgiven and the sting of death removed. God’s Word creates that saving faith, but not in everyone who hears it. Fallen mankind retains the awful power to reject the Word and God’s gift of faith. Therefore, God’s Word produces the only people distinction that matters—believers and unbelievers. We desire to live in peace with other people. But Jesus teaches, this side of heaven, that desire is a pipe dream. Those who embrace the gospel in faith will inevitably face hostility. Following Jesus will come at a price. Yet he promises that our perseverance will be rewarded.

    Luke 12:49-53
