In this heartfelt message, Mr. Albert Jones explores the profound theme of God has called us to freedom, a topic that has been a focus of his Bible studies and fellowship in Michigan. He begins by welcoming listeners to the Sabbath and encouraging them to contemplate the past week, reminding us that God has instructed us to be prepared and to trust in Him.
Drawing from scriptures like Galatians 5, Mr. Jones emphasizes that the freedom we have been granted is a miracle of God's grace and the work of Jesus Christ. He explains that this isn't just about the forgiveness of sins, but about a complete reconciliation that allows us to stand justified before the Father in the righteousness of Christ. He challenges the idea that any physical act, like circumcision as discussed by Paul, can not contribute to this freedom, asserting that our entire standing is a result of Christ's sacrifice. He reminds us, “Christ profits us everything,” and our lives are dependent on what He did.
Mr. Jones then turns to John 3 to highlight God’s immense love for the world, a love so great that He gave his only begotten Son so that all who believe might have everlasting life. He explains that this is an act of love, not futility, purposefully designed for our salvation. We are called to live in this truth, running to the light when darkness appears, and practicing the truth in our daily lives.
He continues by referencing John 5, speaking about the resurrection and judgment, and the authority given to Jesus as the Son of Man. He underscores that our relationship with God is the most important thing, with the Bible serving as a tool to help us understand. He concludes by drawing from 1 John 5 and 2 Peter 1, urging us to hold fast to our faith and our calling. He states that our obedience to God strengthens the entire body of believers and that by adding virtues to our faith, we make our calling and election sure. Mr. Jones’s message is a powerful reminder to stay with Christ, keep our focus on the wonderful gift of life, and prepare for the reality that will soon be revealed to the world.
