Grace-4

Isa 55:11 says  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.So what was God's purpose for sending the Word?To make us like Jesus who was the last Adam.God NEVER changed his plan for mankind on earth!In the previous lessons we saw how through knowledge of his word we get faith that will bring the process of grace about,our becoming like Him.
Mark 4 Jesus gave the parable of the sower sowing the word.Afterward when he was alone with his diciples they asked Him about the meaning of the parable.We have to pursue the things of God,they are hidden FOR us not FROM us.He explained totally the parable to them,not because they were who they were but because they ASKED.He would have done the same for any of the crowd if they had asked.He said-And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.It's for any man!
There are 5 things that satan can use to get the word out- affliction, persecution,lust of other things,cares of this life and DECIETFULNESS of riches,not riches.These are the 5 reasons we are not any more like Jesus than we are.
