Lesson 201: PURE GOLD

INTRODUCTION:

When God told Moses to build Him a tabernacle, He insisted that every major vessel within it must be made of pure gold, Ex. 37: 2,6, 16,17, 23, 24. Now, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit and our God has not changed and He has not lowered His standards. He wants us to be pure as gold. May the Lord teach us tonight, in Jesus Name, Amen.

1. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR IMPERFECTION IN GOD’S TEMPLE

Our God is perfect and we are commanded to be perfect too. Mat 5:48; Eph. 5:25-27; Jam. 1:27; 11 Pet. 3:14; Rev. 21: 27
In fact, unless we are, we can have no part in the body of
Christ because there is no room for anything that defiles in haven 1 pet. 1 L15- 16; 1John. 1:5. God is pure Light and so we must be since we are His children must be like their father. Matt. 5: 14; 1 John 3:6-9; Jam. 1: 17; John 19:4; 1 John 2:28-29.

2. IF GOD LOVES YOU, HE WILL MAKE YOU PERFECT.

If God loves you and is determined to get you to heaven, then He will make you perfect one way or the other. It could be through suffering, chastening, the rod of correction, the refining fire or if you so desire, through His word.
