One verse I forgot to use in the video Lesson was Joshua 1:8. It’s classic, as far as living “in” the Word is concerned! “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” See those two promises?

Two verses I omitted (lack of time) about the Veracity (Truthfulness) of the Bible ,,,

“And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true.” 2 Samuel 7:28, amazinbg!

“Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.” Psalm 119:151, where “commandments” and “words” are identical.

The fact that we are no longer “slaves” (servants) but “sons” of God is well illustrated in the Parable of the Prodigal son. That returning boy, ready to be his father’s “hired servant,” was instead: robed with a garment of honor, had a pair of shoes placed on his feet, a ring placed on his finger and a banquet planned for his pleasure! All of which are prerogatives, privileges of a son, not a slave!

Wow!

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.” 1 John 3:1

One Preacher wisely said … “To serve the dear Lord is the apex of true freedom!”

No longer slaves, but sons … we Christians … yet sons who would serve our Lord any minute we should be asked!

In fact, for eternity …

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; AND HIS SERVANTS SHALL SERVE HIM.” Revelation 22:1-3, with honor!

Take 30 minutes now, and watch the whole class …
