Fruit of the Spirit (4)
Meekness and Gentleness
|
B |
efore one can bear the fruit of the
Spirit, there must be meekness or gentleness. At first, we might be tempted to
think that meekness is not very important, but it is. For you see, meekness or
gentleness describes our disposition and attitude in life. [1]
One
of the ways to define meekness is to consider that which is opposite. Thus, the
opposite to meekness and gentleness is sinful pride and haughtiness. Can you
imagine someone with this kind of pride and haughtiness trying to influence and
teach someone about Jesus? Be assured, they will not believe one with such a
disposition. However, when the same approach is made in the spirit of meekness
and gentleness, they will listen! They can see, even without telling them, that
you are a Christian. [2]
We
can learn this about Jesus: He never
compromised the truth; He never backed
down from a fight when opposition arose, but He always did it with the spirit
of meekness. Therefore, those who follow Him are asked to follow the same way
while walking in His footsteps. [3]
There
are those who think that the meek and gentle are weak, but this is not true!
One can be the strongest man or woman on earth and still have the spirit of
meekness. And this is the way the Lord wants all to be who are Christians. [4]
Paul
wrote: “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among
you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think
soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). [5]
Paul
is not suggesting the “grasshopper complex.” We are not to be like the ten
spies of the Old Testament who returned from spying out the land and said, “There
we saw the giants, . . . and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, . . .”
(Numbers 13:33).
[6]
When
we are serving God within His will, He does not want us to have an inferiority
complex! He wants us to believe that with Him by our side, we can be strong.
The problem arises when we lose meekness and get to
thinking that we are strong even without God. This attitude has no part of the
fruit of the Spirit. [7]
The
same apostle Paul who wrote about the fruit of the Spirit, also wrote to the
same churches: “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are
spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself
lest you also be tempted” (Galatians 6:1). [8]
To
the church at Corinth, Paul also wrote: “Now I, Paul, myself am pleading
with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:1). Could there
be a more powerful appeal than this? If all of us will follow this rule, we
will surely be involved in bearing the fruit of the Spirit. [9]
Jesus
taught: “Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). In fact, He said of
Himself as He extended His loving invitation: “Take My yoke
upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and
lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:29). [10]
Moses
was God’s powerful leader of His people in the Old Testament. What kind of man
was Moses? With this kind of position and authority, was he haughty and
arrogant? No, he was not! For it is said of him: “Now the man
Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth” (Numbers 12:3). [11]
Therefore,
the leaders of both the Old and New Testaments were men of meekness,
gentleness, and humility. Christians must have the same spirit! [12]
Self-Control
Paul
concludes his list with temperance or self-control. Self-control simply means,
controlling one’s self. Paul is
describing the discipline and actions of those who have surrendered all to
follow Jesus. [13]
Even
though Paul mentions self-control last, it was still a vital and essential part
of his life. Paul began the Christian life by setting his personal life aside
and devoting ALL to Jesus. He wrote: “I have been crucified with Christ; it
is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself
for me” (Galatians
2:20). [14]
Christianity
begins and ends with self-control! In fact, Jesus taught: “If anyone desires
to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow
Me” (Luke 9:23).
This concept, when lived, is what the world sees in our lives, and is the only
avenue through which the light of Jesus is seen. Without self-control, we turn
off the light of Jesus and put ourselves in darkness! [15]
Did you know that one of
the things that made Jesus the perfect Son of God was His self-control? The
devil tried to destroy it, but failed. His enemies followed Him daily looking
for a way to destroy it, but they all failed. [16]
Jesus
proved self-control in the Garden of Gethsemane. His human side was facing the
bitter cup of suffering.
Therefore, with Peter, James, and John, we are told, “ and He began
to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, ‘My soul is
exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me’” (Matthew 26:37-38). [17]
As
Jesus poured out His heart in prayer to His Father, He was in such pain. Luke
records, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat
became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground” (Luke 22:44). [18]
However,
through His prayer, Jesus was seeking the will of His Father: “He went a
little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, ‘O My Father, if it is
possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will’
“ (Matthew 26:39).
[19]
Through
all His pain and suffering, Jesus kept Himself in control. He would not let
anything keep Him from obeying His Father’s will.
The
Hebrew writer said of Jesus, “though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience
by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the
author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,” (Hebrews 5:8-9). Therefore, our
leader and Savior left for us the perfect example of self-control! [20]
The
Christian life is described as a war that rages daily between the flesh and the
Spirit. We can, by following God’s word and prayer, win over the flesh.
However, it cannot be done without self-control. God will help us win over
every temptation, but we must do our part. When we seek Him first, we have this
promise: [21]
“. . .God is faithful, who will not allow you to be
tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the
way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). This truth
must have helped Paul keep himself daily under control. [22]
Did
Paul do his part to practice self-control? “But I discipline my body and
bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should
become disqualified” (1
Corinthians 9:27). [23]
As
Christians, we must also practice self-control or we cannot bear the fruit of
the Spirit! If we let up one day, we lose control. If we ever feel that we have
it made and are out of danger of falling, this will bring a fall.
“Therefore
let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12). [24]
What
are we to control? There are two major things that we must control—things that
will affect our physical and spiritual lives. [25]
(1) OUR THOUGHTS
First
of all, we must control our minds and thoughts, because this is the source of
all our actions. Solomon wrote of man: “For as he thinks in his heart, so is
he” (Proverbs
23:7). We are what we think about! [26]
Jesus
said to the evil Pharisees:“ A good man out of the good treasure of his
heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings
forth evil things”
(Matthew 12:35). [27]
Jesus
was teaching that the fruit we bear in life depends on the condition of our
hearts. [28]
Thus,
if we are to bear the fruit of the Spirit, we must have self-control over our
thoughts. We must learn to meditate on God and spiritual things. Those who are
evil think about sinful and evil things, but Christians think about things that
are righteous. [29]
David
wrote of the righteous, “. . . his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in
His law he meditates day and night” (Psalms 1:2). [30]
The
same is true with those who are bearing the fruit of the Spirit! Their delight is also in the Lord, and
in studying the word of God. In their study, their goal is to be a worker who
is approved by Him (2 Timothy
2:15). As they study and think about God, their faith grows, and it becomes
easier to keep their thoughts under control. [31]
It
is vitally important to control our thoughts by thinking about things that are
acceptable to God (Philippians 4:8). [32]
(2) OUR BODIES
Christians
must also control their bodies. The same minds that think about God must also
think about caring for their bodies. Some say, “My body belongs to me, and I
can use it anyway I choose!” Yes, but this is the thinking of those who follow
the works of the flesh, and not of Christians. [33]
When “born of water and of the Spirit” (John 3:3,5), we become a new
creation in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17), and must surrender all to Him. Such
commitment and love, includes our hearts, soul, strength, and minds (Mk.
12:30). [34]
Therefore,
we dedicate our bodies to be a temple in which the Holy Spirit dwells, and our
bodies belong to God. “Now the
body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord,
and the Lord for the body.” [35]
“Or
do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a
price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Corinthians 6:13,19,20). [36]
We
do not have the right to use our bodies as we please, or to use them to commit
the works of the flesh! “And do not present your members as instruments of
unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the
dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (Romans 6:13). [37]
How
are some of the ways that we can harm our bodies? One of the ways is by eating. Perhaps the first thing that comes
to your mind on this subject is gluttony. This is certainly harmful and wrong.
Jesus said of His enemies: “The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and
you say, `Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and
sinners!’” (Luke
7:34). This was a serious accusation, even though false. [38]
However,
there are many other ways that we can be guilty of harming our bodies. We can
eat too little, and malnutrition can be very destructive. There are many each
year who become seriously ill, and others who die because they starve their
bodies. Others are guilty of not eating healthy foods. If we want to take care
of our bodies as Christians, we will pursue the proper balance in seeking
healthy bodies by the foods we eat. [39]
Then
there are those who harm their bodies by poisoning them with nicotine and other
types of drug abuse. Those who are seeking to bear the fruit of the Spirit will
avoid the use of tobacco in all its destructive forms. The subject is no longer
debatable, because both the scientific and medical world has proven that
tobacco (with its nicotine) is a killer! Therefore, those who use it are daily
destroying their bodies. [40]
Likewise,
drugs, when used as intended, can be very helpful to our bodies, but when abused,
they are very harmful and destructive! Good doctors will work to balance the
drugs we need to seek our health, but we must faithfully work with them. [41]
Our
goal in all that we do, is to have a healthy body for the Lord, and to do this,
we must have self-control! We must control the way we eat, the way we exercise,
the medicines we use, and even the attitude we have toward caring for our
bodies. [42]
In
conclusion, we can say that self-control is truly essential as a part of the
fruit of the Spirit. [43]
Therefore,
are you bearing the fruit of the Spirit, or producing the works of the flesh in
your life? As you ponder this
question, please keep in mind that the works of the flesh produce death, but
the fruit of the Spirit produces life! [44].

Acceptable Worship
Part 1
LESSON 14
|
T |
he
subject for consideration is a very serious and important one—”Acceptable
Worship.” Please note that the subject is not just Worship, but Acceptable
Worship. Getting the human race to worship has never been difficult to do,
because God must have included this as a natural desire when He made man in His
own image (Genesis 1:27). However, the problem that God has had with the human
race over the centuries has been getting those who worship, to worship in a way
that is acceptable to Him. [1]
Shortly after the Genesis record begins, we are told
about the sacrifices of Cain and Abel. These two brothers represent the
importance of pleasing God in worship—Abel was accepted and Cain was rejected!
(Genesis 4:4,5). What made the difference? Abel had a faith that led him to
seek that which was right in God’s sight, but Cain did not! [2]
“By
faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which
he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and
through it he being dead still speaks” (Hebrews 11:4). [3]
God
had evidently told these two the kind of sacrifice that He would accept, but
Cain did not receive faith from hearing the words of God (Romans 10:17) and
rebelled. Consequently, we learn: “And the LORD respected Abel and his
offering, but He did not respect Cain
and his offering” (Genesis 4:4-5). [4]
The
Old Testament record is filled with all kinds of worship, especially the worshiping
of God’s people and the nations around them. However, God accepted only the
worship of His people when they were right with Him, but when they rebelled and
followed after idolatry, they were rejected. Therefore, it is not enough just
to worship! True worship must be done in a way that is acceptable to God. [5]
There
are those who teach and practice the false concept that any kind of worship is
acceptable if it comes from a sincere heart. Someone told me once that he
believed that the worship of all the false religions of the world is acceptable
when those worshiping are sincere!
Others, who will not go this far, feel that anything goes
with God, as long as the one worshiping is honest and sincere. As one man put
it: “I would be willing to include a pink elephant in the worship service if it
would cause more people to worship.”
This is not acceptable worship! [6]
Over
the centuries, God has specified the acceptable way to worship Him, and has
punished those who disobeyed Him. When God gave His people the commandment: "You
shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3), He was commanding them to obey and worship
according to His will. His people were not allowed to add to, take from, or
change His laws in any way, [7]
They were told: “You shall not add to the word which
I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD
your God which I command you” (Deuteronomy 4:2). [8]
Did
God enforce obedience in worship? To get the correct answer to this question,
we need to ask Nadab and Abihu, two sons of Aaron the high priest. These two
were struck dead before the sanctuary in the wilderness for kindling the
censers with strange fire (Leviticus 10:1,2). [9]
Ask
King Saul who thought he could disobey God by not destroying all the animals of
the Amalekites. He had been commanded, “to kill both man and woman, infant
and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey” (1 Samuel 15:3). “But Saul and
the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs,
and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But
everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.” (1 Samuel 15:9). [10]
How
did he try to justify his disobedience? He saved the best of the sheep and oxen
to be offered in sacrifice. Will God accept his worship that comes from
disobedience? Samuel answers: “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt
offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey
is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams” (1 Samuel 15:22). [11]
Saul
had to face the consequences of his disobedience: ”Because you have rejected
the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king” (1 Samuel 15:23). Therefore,
acceptable worship must be done in obedience to God. [12]
Throughout the ministry of Jesus, He made preparation for
the coming of His church or kingdom. He taught on morality, salvation, His
purpose for coming to earth, the importance of doing the will of His Father,
and many other subjects that would be a part of His kingdom. Included in the
long list of subjects was the important subject of acceptable worship. [13]
One
day He was traveling through Samaria, and at the sixth hour, noontime, He came
to Jacob’s well. John records: ”Jesus therefore, being wearied from His
journey, sat thus by the well” (John 4:6). While sitting there, a Samaritan woman came to
draw water, and Jesus had a conversation with her about water. He compared the
water in Jacob’s well to the spiritual water that He offered. Jesus answered
and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but
whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the
water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up
into everlasting life” (John 4:13-14). [14]
From
their conversation, she perceived that Jesus was a prophet and brought up the
subject of the right place to worship. In her words: “Our fathers worshiped
on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one
ought to worship” (John 4:20). [15]
This
subject must have been debated many times, and she probably expected Him to
spend all of His time defending Jerusalem as the right place. However, after
the statement: “You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship,
for salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22), Jesus took the opportunity to teach her about
acceptable worship in His kingdom. [16]
“But
the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the
Father in spirit and truth; for the
Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him
must worship in
spirit and truth” (John
4:23-24). [17]
Many
centuries have passed since Jesus set forth the only kind of worship that is
acceptable to God, but His will has not changed! Man, like King Saul, Nadab,
and Abihu, has made many changes by adding to and taking from His will.
However, the words of Jesus are still true: “those who worship Him must worship in spirit and
truth.” Therefore, let us consider
how we must worships in spirit and in truth. [18]
~ Must Worship In Spirit ~
Jesus
taught the Samaritan woman that the physical place is not the important issue.
It doesn’t have to be on the Samaritan’s Mount Gerizim, or the Jew’s Mount Zion
to be true worship. Since God is Spirit, true worship involves the spirits of
those worshiping. [19]
True
worship then, involves that part of man that God made in His own image—that
part of man that can think about the greatness of God and lift Him up in honor
and praise. [20]
God gave the many animals life when He created them,
but He gave man and woman the power to know and worship Him. Therefore, true
worship involves our hearts, our minds, our intellects, and our feelings toward
God. Thus, when we worship, our spirits unite in fellowship with God who is
Spirit. [21]
Paul
sums up the necessity of worshiping in spirit to the Corinthians: “What is
the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the
understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the
understanding” (1
Corinthians 14:15). [22]
True
worship is more than just singing, we must sing with our hearts. Praying is
more than just saying or hearing words, we must pray with our hearts. Observing
the Lord’s Supper is more than eating the bread and drinking the cup, it is
doing so with remembrance within our hearts. All the acts of worship must
involve our spirits. [23]
Therefore,
every Christian should ask, “How can I draw closer to God in worship?” Here are
two suggestions that can help: [24]
Since
true worship involves our spirits—our hearts, our thoughts, and our feelings,
these need to be prepared. Those who attend worship unprepared and with the “I
don’t care” attitude, will properly worship that way. One cannot rise above his
or her heart in worship! Worship to God must be our greatest possession, and
then, and only then, will we experience worshiping in spirit. [25]
This
is what Jesus taught: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also” (Matthew
6:21). [26]
Therefore, the way we live before we assemble has an effect
on the way we worship. For example, those who stay up on Saturday until 2:00 am
watching a movie filled with murder and lust cannot possibly draw close to God
in worship. [27]
Even
physical things that are not sinful can take over our lives to the point that
our hearts are not in worship. When I was a young preacher, a mother with three
small children came to me and said, “I need to talk to you about my
worship.” [28]
She
began by saying, “By the time I get to worship with my children, it is
impossible to get my heart into worship. I get up Sunday morning and go through
all kinds of problems getting the children dressed. They complain about the
clothes I choose for them to wear, and they fight with each other. On the way
to worship, I have to reach back and slap them because of their arguments and
fights. By the time we get to worship, there is no way that I can think about
spiritual things.” [29]
As
she talked, the word preparation came to my mind. She and her husband were not
preparing their family for worship. Therefore, I made the following
suggestions: “You need to prepare your children for worship. Begin on Saturday
reminding them that tomorrow is the day we go to Bible class and worship. [30]
On
Saturday night, give them their baths for Sunday and remind them that they are
getting ready for Sunday. Lay out the clothes they will wear. Take every
opportunity to remind them that Sunday is very special, and that as we go to
worship we must be very quite. If there are any arguments or fights on Sunday
morning, firmly stop them and remind them that this is God’s day of worship.
[31]
~ Not Easy ~
This
is not something that will come fast or easy, but it is a fundamental that is
very important. Remember, this same principle applies to adults as well as
children. All of us need to prepare our minds and hearts for worshiping in
spirit. Anything short of this will NOT please God. [32]
This
subject of Acceptable worship will be continued in the next lesson.
