Know, Grow, Glow and Go
INTRODUCTION:
A. We need to discuss a four part need that we all have as Christians.
B. years pass by quickly and we need to let ourselves become what Jesus
wants of us.
C. The Scripture is our standard
Romans 15:4
4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were
written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope.
I Corinthians 10:6
6
Now these things were our examples, to the intent
we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
I. KNOW:
A. must have knowledge
Hosea 4:1-10
1
Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel:
for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because
there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing,
and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that
dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the
fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4
Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for
thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5
Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the
prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy
mother.
6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou
shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I
will also forget thy children.
7
As they were increased, so they sinned against me:
therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8
They eat up the sin of my people, and they set
their heart on their iniquity.
9
And there shall be, like people, like priest: and
I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10
For they shall eat, and not have enough: they
shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to
take heed to the LORD.
B. Deuteronomy 6:1-25
- 1
- Now these are the commandments, the statutes,
and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye
might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
- 2
- That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to
keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou,
and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy
days may be prolonged.
- 3
- Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it;
that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the
LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with
milk and honey.
- 4
- Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Mark 12:29
- 5
- And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deut 10:12
Matt 22:37
Mark 12:30
Luke 10:27
- 6
- And these words, which I command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
- 7
- And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy
children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and
when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou
risest up.
- 8
- And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine
hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
- 9
- And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy
house, and on thy gates.
- 10
- And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall
have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities,
which thou buildedst not,
- 11
- And houses full of all good things, which thou
filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and
olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be
full;
- 12
- Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which
brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
- 13
- Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him,
and shalt swear by his name.
Mt 4:10
Luke 4:8
- 14
- Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of
the people which are round about you;
- 15
- (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among
you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and
destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
- 16
- Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye
tempted him in Massah.
Mt 4:7
- 17
- Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the
LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath
commanded thee.
- 18
- And thou shalt do that which is right and good
in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou
mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy
fathers.
- 19
- To cast out all thine enemies from before thee,
as the LORD hath spoken.
- 20
- And when thy son asketh thee in time to come,
saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments,
which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
- 21
- Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were
Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a
mighty hand:
- 22
- And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and
sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our
eyes:
- 23
- And he brought us out from thence, that he might
bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
- 24
- And the LORD commanded us to do all these
statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might
preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
- 25
- And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe
to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded
us.
C. Truth is important:
1. John 8:32-40. They thought they knew enough.
32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.
33
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were
never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever:
but the Son abideth ever.
36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed.
37
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to
kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and
ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our
father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do
the works of Abraham.
40
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told
you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
2. Rested in their self-confidence. We do too! – Paul was Christ – confident
Philippians 4:13
13
I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.
D. II Timothy 2:15
15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
II. GROW - KNOWLEDGE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH:
A. Luke 2:52
52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in
favour with God and man.
B. I Peter 2:2
2
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the
word, that ye may grow thereby:
C. I Peter 1:22-25
22
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye
love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24
For
all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the
flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
Isa 40:6,7
25
But
the word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. Isa 40:8
D. Hebrews 5:12-14
12
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye
have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the
oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong
meat.
13
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the
word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full
age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil.
E. Ephesians 4:11-16
11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets;
and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of
the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Christ:
14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to
and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into
him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual
working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the
edifying of itself in love.
III. GLOW - NOT FLASH:
A. Matthew 5:14-16
14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set
on an hill cannot be hid.
15
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the
house.
16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
B. Fire attracts attention- sawmill fire saw from a great distance.
C. I John 1:7
- be light walkers
7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ
his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
IV. GO:
A. Family, friends, loved ones
B. We have what the world needs - Go!
C. Matthew 28:18-20
18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
Mark 16:15,16
15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.
16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.
CONCLUSION:
A. Family, friends, loved ones
B. We have what the world needs - Go!
C. Matthew 28:18-20
18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
Mark 16:15,16
15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.
16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.
CONCLUSION:
D. Do you know what to do when you GO?

And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to
be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus
Christ.

lets His people know that He loves them.
C. Romans 1:1-7 deals with Paul's salutation -Speaks of self, Gospel, Son,

the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood,

the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed
the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
I Corinthians 6:19,20
19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your
own?
20
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify
God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
b. Purchased to serve
Romans 12:1, 2
1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
c. A servant is worthless unless he serves
Matthew 25:24-30
24
Then he which had received the one talent came and
said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast
not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in
the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked
and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather
where I have not strawed:
27
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to
the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with
usury.
28
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it
unto him which hath ten talents.
29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and
he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even
that which he hath.
30
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

wherewith he loved us,

III. CALLED TO BE SAINTS
ROMANS 1:7
7
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to
be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
A. To be - does not mean future; We are SAINTS NOW
JOHN 17:17
17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is
truth.
1. Sainthood is a positional thing:
a. It is how God views you - RIGHTEOUS.
b. Righteousness like Christ
Romans 3:21
21
But now the righteousness of God without the law
is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
2. Not speaking of a person's own righteousness - He has none
Philippians 3:9
9
And be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
B. Passages that show we can be counted righteous by God:
1. Romans 1:16
16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for
it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek.
2. II Corinthians 5:21
21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no
sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
3. Romans 5:8-11
8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled
to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be
saved by his life.
11
And not only so, but we also joy in God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
4. Romans 4:6-8
6
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of
the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7
Saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and
whose sins are covered. Psa 32:1
8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not
impute sin.
Psa 32:2
C. Grace is not a license to sin
Romans 6:1
1
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin,
that grace may abound?

IV. GRACE TO YOU AND PEACE
Romans 1:7
7
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to
be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
A. Grace is God's redemptive blessings to you
Ephesians 1:7
7
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
1. Even though you were once a criminal, a law violator, you broke that law
which was capitol in nature and God's justice would demand your eternal
death; God's grace had worked out a system whereby you can be freed from the
guilt and punishment –
Romans 8:1.
1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.
a. Acquitted - case dismissed, guilt removed.
B. the difference in being the Lord’s:
1. We deserve WRATH -
Romans 1:18 - When we sin.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;
2. Romans 5:1 - wrath ends, peace begins - IF YOU ARE a SAINT.
1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
CONCLUSION:
A. Many don't obey God because they are frustrated, have no hope, and feel
too guilty.
B. You need to see God's love to you as He has proved it by giving us His
plan for redemption.
C. All God asks in return is the rest of your life in FULL serve to Him.
