Devotional and Reflection Questions: A Fuller Gospel (the Fourfold Gospel)

A Fuller Gospel      2 Corinthians 4:6-7 states, “ For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”     Dr. A.B. Simpson’s Fourfold Gospel is foundational to our understanding of a fuller gospel that displays the role of Christ in the life of the believer.   Simpson refers specifically to Christ in the life of the believer, but we know that you cannot separate God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit as they act in their distinct and equal roles in the Trinity yet as one God.   It is through accepting Christ’s atoning sacrifice that the Holy Spirit indwells us, and the relationship is restored with the Father.      The first of the four parts of the Fourfold Gospel begins with Jesus, our Savior.   Acts 4:12 states, “ Salvation is found in no one else, for t

Devotional and Reflection Questions: Christ My Coming King (Mark 14:53-62)

Christ My Coming King Mark 14:53-62 states, “ They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire. The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree. Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another,   not made with hands.’ ” Yet even then their testimony did not agree. Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “

Devotional and Reflection Questions: Christ My Healer (James 5:13-19)

Christ My Healer      James 5:13-19 states, “   Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.    Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back,”      Sin troubles our lives.   This passage brings to mind the anxiety and physical issues

Devotional and Reflection Questions: Christ My Sanctifier (2 Peter 1:3-11)

Christ My Sanctifier 2 Peter 1:3-11 states, “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.   For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.   Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm y

Devotional and Reflection Questions: Christ My Savior (Hebrews 9:22-27)

Christ My Savior Hebrews 9:22-27 states, “ In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.  It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and
