FRUITFULNESS REQUIRES SEPARATION BY THEODORE EPP In Strength for the Journey Genesis 11:27-32 Genesis 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. Genesis 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. Genesis 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abrams wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahors wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. Genesis 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child. Genesis 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his sons son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abrams wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. Genesis 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. KJV. The trip from Ur of the Chaldees to Haran was not exceedingly hard because they were able to travel northwest along the Euphrates River. Along the river there was grass for their livestock. However, from Haran to the land of Canaan was quite a different type of trip. They would have to leave the Euphrates River and strike out across the desert. This was a real test and was too much for Terah and his family. Besides, God was not going to take Abraham into the land until he separated from his father. The years Abraham spent at Haran were wasted years of waiting. Many Christians today start off like Abraham. They launch out with great enthusiasm to follow the Lord, perhaps as a result of a crisis experience, but then later grind to a standstill in their Christian walk. Has this happened to you? Remember, the key issue for Abraham was separation. It is the same for us. This age of materialism has gripped even the Christians. We cannot expect God to lead us into fruitfulness unless we become separated from the things of the world. Each Christian must make the decision for himself, even as Abraham had to make the decision for himself. Once we break from the things of the world, we will see that the treasures of God far more than take the place of the things of this world. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate (2 Cor. 6:17). 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. KJV. ========================================== 2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. ==================================== YOUR CHURCH follow - {Doctrine} - given to Israel today??? {NO} - We follow {Doctrine} - today - given to Paul from the risen Lord. THE CHURCH DOCTRINE FOR TODAY IS ROMANS THROUGH PHILEMON. Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.) NOT all scripture is Doctrine for the Body of Christ. === TIME PAST = Genesis through Acts of the Apostles Doctrine or teaching to Israel. NOT YOUR DOCTRINE. See. Matt. 10:5-6, Matt 15:24, Acts 11:19 K J V. Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; KJV. === THE BUT NOW =THE CHURCH DOCTRINE OF APOSTLE PAUL.OR TEACHINS. Romans Through Philemon. NOT ACTS. See. Eph. 2:11-19 K J V. Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. === AGES TO COME Doctrine starts the day of the Rapture. AGES TO COME = Hebrews through Revelation Doctrine or teaching = Jacobs Trouble = Israel and the 1,000 year reign of Christ and beyond. Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. KJV. Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: ==================== In Christ alone OUR hope is found. WE stand in the power of His resurrection. WE are sealed unto the day of redemption. WE cant be plucked out of His hands. WE have no fear in death. OUR passport has been stamped with a heaven bound seal made with His blood. =========== Inspired words from Paul - Paul said--->The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in (every epistle:) so I write. 2 Thessalonians 3:17...Again, Paul said, in (EVERY EPISTLE) so I write. ... There is NO salutation of Paul in the BOOK of Hebrews. Paul wrote 13 Books, Romans through Philemon. --------------------------------------- E. C.
