@Livingwater STUDY6B..SONSHIP.. OUR DESTINY AND DUTY 1JOHN 3:1-10  A)Our DESTINY is Fixed Verse 2 tells us something of what the future holds for the child of God:- (1) The Lord Jesus is coming again. John speaks of the time “”when he appears”” –- look up John 14:3; Titus 2:13 –- and note in the Bible all the signs of the times, the religious, the Jewish and the commercial signs, all point to the fact that the coming of the Lord must be very near indeed –- James 5:8! (2) We shall see Him as He is. What a wonderful thing it will be to see the Man Christ Jesus, the one who came and lived and died for us, who rose again and who is ascended now in the place of glory at God’’s right hand! He first came in weakness, but the second time He will come in power and great glory. ““Every eye will see him”” –- Revelation 1:7. (3) We shall be like Him. We read that in a moment “”we will all be changed – in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye”” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52); and compare 1 T...

@Livingwater Study 1A THE SECRET OF TRUE HAPPINESS Psalm 1 forms an introduction to the whole psalter. It shows us the secret of true happiness – and who does not want to learn that secret? There is an idea abroad that God does not want us to be happy. This, of course, is the Devil’s lie, though unfortunately even some Christians half believe it. But God wants us to be happy. Let's consider this. 1 . GOD ’ S PICTURE OF THE HAPPY MAN If we ask, What is the blessed, or happy, man like? verse 3 tells us. “He is like……”, and then follows a seven-fold description of the godly man, the believer, the Christian. We introduce these characteristics by the seven key-words so helpfully suggested by the late Dr W. Graham Scroggie. 1. Vitality: “a tree……” This denotes life, and the happy man, the true Christian, has received a new life (John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:1), a divine life (2 Peter 1:4). 2. Security: “a tree planted……” This suggests a carefully chosen tree, cared f...

Study:Song of Songs 1:4) In this verse the bride (the believer) is speaking to her bridegroom (Christ) about her personal communion with him. What do we know of personal, day by day communion with the Lord?

@Livingwater Study 2 PERSONAL COMMUNION WITH THE LORD THE SONG OF SOLOMON by Francis Dixon Key-verse: ““Take me away with you –- let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine”” (Song of Songs 1:4) In this verse the bride (the believer) is speaking to her bridegroom (Christ) about her personal communion with him. What do we know of personal, day by day communion with the Lord? It is possible to know about Him and yet not to know Him; and it is also possible to know Him just a little or to know Him really well –- look up and compare John 14:9 and Philippians 3:10. This study emphasises the importance of these matters and leads us to consider the following points:- ” 1 . THE ONE WITH WHOM WE ENJOY COMMUNION IS THE KING See how the verse reads: ““Take me away with you: let the king bring me into his chambers…”…” Pause for a moment and think of the wonder of this. In this love story, Solomon is the kin...
