Jehovah said to my Adoni

Much is covered in these chapters but what stands out the most is a statement quoted no less than 8 times in the New Testament. One of those times was when Jesus posed it as a riddle to the religious leaders who opposed Him.

This quote clarifies some pivotal truths which should greatly impact our grasp of Creation, the fall, redemption and mankind’s relation to God in His Kingdom.

Jesus is ruling the kingdom of the Father until all enemies have been brought to subjection. Then Jesus will turn the kingdom over to the Father Who will reign forever!

Chapters 105 & 106 close out Book IV in the greater book of Psalms. Even though they are in a separate division within the Psalms, their content is very much instep with chapter 107 – the first chapter in the 5th and final division of the book of Psalms.

The call is worship, praise and rejoice in the Lord Who comes to our rescue time and time again – even though we are most often the cause of our distress!

Paul knew of the difficulties in Ephesus because the church was structured so that the pastors (elders) and Timothy had hands on exposure to every believer.

Then to trust in difficult situations with expectation of God’s intervention.

Knowing & Living Sound Doctrine

Series: Lessons from Paul to Timothy

Paul’s encouragement to Timothy was also to be Timothy’s instruction for the saints in Ephesus.

These are very practical truths but they are also foundational – meaning, without them the entire structure of our faith cannot stand!

According to Paul, our ability to present ourselves before God as approved and bear no shame directly springs out of embodying these truths. First among which inclides being established in, living out and able to share with others SOUND DOCTRINE!

Paul clearly states (as does Jesus Himself) that anything we do, think or converse about which is not in some way connected to sound doctrine – the living or spreading of it is empty talk for which we will be judged.

Blessings!
