12 July 2020 - Understand Hebrews 10 and be Freed from Fear of Judgment - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon Notes
Pastor Joseph Prince clarified the common misunderstandings about Hebrews 10 that cause many believers to become fearful of losing their salvation. When understood correctly, Hebrews 10 is a beautiful assurance of your blessedness in Christ! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. Latter Rain - New Creation Worship 2. Reckless Love - Cory Asbury The one thing that is needful is to hear God’s word every day. You will be worried about many things if you don’t first do that one thing. Jesus didn’t correct Martha for her service. It was because she was worried about many things. God’s word marks us for blessings and anointing so that we don’t share the common lot like the people of the world. The Bible is not an ordinary book. It is bread of life. Every time you spend time in God’s word, God speaks to you through it. You’ll receive a “now word” from Him. The second way God speaks to you is through the inward witness. When you step out of His will, there is a disturbance of peace and you’ll know to step back onto the right path. Joy and fear can not operate concurrently. Joy, love and peace thrives in an environment of security. When a parent corrects a child in a secure environment of affirmed love, the child feels even more loved. Hebrews 6:18 - This is the positive impossible in the same chapter. People are usually more focused on the “it is impossible for them to be renewed to repentance.” It is impossible for God not to bless you because He cannot lie, and He has sworn to bless you. “that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.” (Hebrews 6:18 WEB) 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 - When Jesus was on earth, He dealt with tax collectors and prostitutes without reckoning their sins to them. Healing and deliverance still flowed freely to them. Sin doesn’t stop revival. It is precisely because of sin that a revival is needed. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. You have to preach the love of God and Jesus’ finished work at the cross, and not only keep asking people to turn away from their sins. God is already reconciled to you. It is you who needs to reconcile yourself to God. You don’t clean yourself before you take a bath. Jesus is the bath. Come to Him and you’ll become clean. God is not mad at you—He loves you. He sent His Son to die for you, so come back to Him. That is the Gospel! It takes the Holy Spirit to preach Grace because Grace is not natural. The Law of Moses is natural. “namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:19-20 WEB) Hebrews 1:1-2 - The context of the epistle to the Hebrews is that it’s written to the Jews, not to the Gentiles. “God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.” (Hebrews 1:1-2 WEB)
