The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Part 1
Sunday, June 29, 2008

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.” Philippians 4:23
As Paul pens the last words of this wonderful epistle to the church at Philippi, his expression is rich and full of meaning. What a wonderful theme is grace! Grace indicates that although we are unworthy, we are given something we don’t deserve. Grace reveals the truth that salvation if of the Lord from start to finish and that it includes not only His saving mercy but the daily benefits He bestows on us.
The book of Philippians begins and ends with the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and it is mentioned over 40 times. While the theme of joy permeates this epistle, it is in Jesus Christ and by His grace that this joy is found.

Ministry Features
  • Ministry Information

    Welcome to the Baptist Bible Hour! Motivated by a desire for God's glory, we exist to call men and women back to the beauty and sufficiency of the Bible. As God's perfect message to every man, woman, and child, this book stands alone in its majesty throughout history and in its contemporary relevancy.

    For many people, even Christians, there is a persistent and tragic disconnect between the narrative and instruction that they see in the Bible, and the problems, challenges, and opportunities that they experience in their daily lives. It is our purpose to bridge this great divide with teaching that has depth and gravity, but is at the same time accessible and relatable. To this end, for over 50 years the Baptist Bible Hour has been broadcasting the Word of God, with a particular emphasis on the sovereignty of God in personal salvation and in every detail of life.
  • Blessed Are The Dead
    "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Revelation 14:12-13

    The first thing we see about the dead who are blessed is their position: they are in the Lord. They are in the Lord by choice because He elected them. They are in the Lord by blood because He redeemed them. They are in the Lord by calling because He drew them to Himself.

    Then we see their description: they are called saints and they are described as being obedient. They keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

    Finally the text speaks of their rest - all trouble ended, all conflict over - eternal rest with the Lord.
