   May 4, 2022 · Receiving Jesus as our treasure really does imply joyfully treasuring him. Renounce All You Have and Receive Me. The little parable of Matthew 13:44 is applied by Jesus in Luke 14:33. There Jesus says, “Any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.” Here the kingdom language has fallen away. The message is ...

   Jun 26, 2005 · In fact it is clear that God treasures Christ above all other things. There is nothing more valuable in the universe than Christ, because he is God and he is the manifestation of God precisely so that we might see him and savor him—that is, treasure him. God embraces Christ as infinitely precious. So should we.

   Nov 15, 2022 · Or to say it another way, “Saving faith does not see Christ as useful to obtain something treasured more than Christ” (224). To be sure, Christ is useful. He is the means of escape from hell, and forgiveness of sins, and resurrection of a pain-free body, and a new creation. And for these we should be leaping for joy.

   Jun 3, 2017 · For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. Lord Jesus, as I meditate on the Apostle Paul’s words, I smell the aroma of a free man, a joyful man, and a grace-man—a man I want to become more like. Things he once treasured became Paul’s “garbage.”

   Apr 8, 2008 · This is the first of a two-part message. For the second, see “Treasuring Christ and the Call to Suffer, Part 2.”. The theme is treasuring Christ together or treasuring Christ and the call to suffer. So I want to linger over the meaning of the theme and focus on the term treasuring Christ. I think there is a danger everywhere that the faith ...

   Jan 4, 2022 · John equates “receiving” Jesus with “believing” in Him, which results in one’s becoming a child of God. So, receiving Jesus has to do with faith. We trust who Jesus is and what He has done on our behalf. When we “receive” a package, we take it to ourselves. When a running back “receives” the football, he pulls it to himself ...

   • The very nature of the new birth that causes the sight of the treasure of Christ, determines the nature of the faith it creates — namely, a treasuring of the treasure of the glory of Christ. Second, we look at 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12. What to look for here is the relationship between faith in the truth and love for the truth.
