Be Strong In Grace

Q: What does the Bible say about grace in Christ Jesus?

The Bible teaches that grace is a free, sovereign gift from God, found solely in Christ Jesus. The grace that Paul refers to in 2 Timothy 2:1 is free grace — sovereign, effectual grace that comes from Christ and is not dependent on works. This grace is fundamental to salvation, as Paul states in Ephesians 2:8-9: 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.' Grace is intimately connected to Christ, as it is through Him that all spiritual blessings flow, affirming the necessity of recognizing that outside of Him, there is no grace, only condemnation.

Q: How do we know the doctrine of election is true?

The doctrine of election is affirmed through Scripture, highlighting God's sovereign choice before the foundation of the world. Our understanding of election is rooted in Biblical truth, where Paul emphasizes that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). This indicates that salvation is not based on our works but according to God's own purpose and grace, given in Christ Jesus. Therefore, the assurance of election is found not within ourselves but in God's sovereign will, which orchestrates the salvation of His people. The Bible consistently presents this doctrine as a cornerstone of Reformed theology, affirming that our salvation is solely a work of God's grace.

Q: Why is being strong in grace important for Christians?

Being strong in grace equips Christians to endure hardships and live out their faith effectively. In 2 Timothy 2:1, Paul encourages Timothy to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. This strength is essential for believers because it cultivates a firm foundation amidst life's challenges, allowing Christians to stand against trials and opposition. The strength we receive from grace empowers believers to uphold the truth of the gospel courageously and to endure hardships as a soldier of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3). It affirms that our reliance is not on our own strength but on the sustaining grace of God, which fuels our commitment to Him and enables us to share the message of salvation with others.

Q: What does the Bible teach about the relationship between grace and works?

The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace alone, and cannot be achieved through works. Paul makes a clear distinction in Romans 11:6, stating that if salvation is by grace, it cannot be based on works; otherwise, grace would no longer be grace. This principle holds that our works cannot earn God's favor or achieve salvation, highlighting the necessity of grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 reinforces this doctrine, emphasizing that we are saved by grace through faith, which is a gift from God. This understanding empowers believers to live out their faith, recognizing that our obedience and good works are expressions of gratitude for God’s grace, not the means to earn our salvation.

Q: How can Christians endure hardship according to the Bible?

Christians can endure hardship by being strong in grace and committing to the truth of God's Word. In 2 Timothy 2:3, Paul urges Timothy to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. This endurance is facilitated by being grounded in the grace that comes from Christ. By recognizing that our strength lies in grace, we are better equipped to face trials and persecutions. Moreover, reflecting on the examples of faith in the Scriptures serves as encouragement, as they persevered in the truth despite severe opposition. The assurance that God's Word is not bound (2 Timothy 2:9) empowers believers to remain steadfast in their commitment, overcoming the difficulties they face for the sake of the gospel.

Now let's open our Bibles again
to 2 Timothy chapter 2. Who can really say enough about
this unusual, gifted, much-used man of God, the Apostle Paul? Never one quite like him before
and never one quite like him since. that he wrote as the Holy Spirit gave him utterance,
most of the New Testament, that is, most of the epistles. And he wrote this book, this
epistle to Timothy, 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, when he was in
prison. Paul was in Rome, in prison. And he was about to be brought
before the emperor for the second time. These are sort of farewell expressions,
farewell notes to Timothy. And in chapter 2 he says, Thou
therefore my son. Now Timothy wasn't his child,
his offspring. But back there in verse 1 of
chapter 1, he calls him, or chapter 1, verse 2, my beloved, dearly
beloved son. He was not his child, but he
was as close and dear to Paul as
if he had been his child. This is an old, old preacher
about to die for the gospel. and for his faith in Christ,
and he's writing to a very, very young man. And he doesn't call
him my servant, he doesn't call him my underling, he doesn't
call him my helper, he calls him my son. And this emphasizes the true
relationship of true believers. I'm not talking about church
members and religious people, but true believers, those who
really, devotedly, sincerely love Christ, love one another.
And they're not just acquaintances. And they're not party members
as Calvinists and Baptists. And they're not just church members
and fellow travelers, they're family. really family. You know, when
our Lord said to his disciples, he that hath left or had to give
up for the gospel, the fellowship of mother and father and brother
and sister, yea, sometimes husband and wife, for my sake and for the gospel's
sake, in this world shall be blessed a hundredfold, and have
many mothers, and fathers, and brothers, and sisters, and husbands,
and wives, and houses, and land." Meaning by that that to be in
Christ is to be one body, one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
one God and Father of all, one family. And that's the reason
he calls Timothy the main reason. I know he was his son in the
ministry. But that's the main reason he calls him my son, because
he really felt that way about him. He really loved him, as
a man would love an only son. And then he tells him in the
next line, and I'll tell you this, when we recognize this
glorious truth, and really live by this truth and this relationship,
it might be amazing the way God's Spirit will own it and bless and the peace that he'll give,
and the fellowship in the Spirit of God. And then he says in the
next line, Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. This
is the title of this message, Be Strong in Grace. Now, there
are three words here. As I looked at this statement,
My son, be strong in the grace that's in Christ Jesus. There
are three words here. The first word is grace. Be strong
in the grace that's in Christ Jesus. And I'm talking about
free grace. I'm not talking about the careless,
flippant way that the word grace is used today. But I'm talking
about that free grace of God, that sovereign grace. Be strong
in grace. I'm talking about effectual grace.
I'm talking about electing grace. electing grace. I'm talking about
redeeming grace. I'm talking about keeping grace.
I'm talking about God Almighty's particular sovereign grace. That's what I'm, is it understood?
Grace. Grace. And Paul said it can't
be works and grace. It's got to be all grace or all
works. You need to be strong in your liberal free will, works,
religion, or you be strong in grace. But it is of faith that
it might be by grace that it might be sure to all of us. Grace,
for by grace are you saved through faith. That not of yourselves,
that's a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.
One of the old hymn writers has written it this way, grace. Oh,
it's a charming sound. harmonious to my ear, heaven
with the echo will resound, and all the earth shall hear." Grace,
free grace, sovereign grace, electing grace, redeeming grace. Grace first inscribed my name
in God's eternal book, and it was grace that gave me to Christ,
who all my sorrows took. Grace, free grace, electing grace. God's grace, not works, grace,
taught my soul to pray. And grace made my eyes overflow. And it's grace that's kept me
to this day, and it's grace that won't let me go. Grace, free
grace, all the works shall crown through everlasting days. It
lays in heaven the topmost stone, and it will. deserves the praise. Grace. Be strong in grace. Now then, what does it say here,
the second next word? This grace is in Christ. You
see that? You be strong in grace. The grace
that's in Christ. The grace that's in Christ. It
comes from Christ. This electing, sovereign, free,
redeeming, effectual grace comes from Christ. It leads to Christ. It is found in Christ. It is
maintained by Christ. There is no grace for anyone
outside of Christ. Nothing but condemnation and
judgment. You see, no one found grace in
the eyes of the Lord. Moses in Exodus 33, verse 12
and 13, he said, Lord, if I have found grace in your sight, show
me your way. Lord, if I've found grace in
your sight, go before us. Lord, if I've found grace in
your sight, show me your glory. Paul said, God who separated
me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace to reveal
his Son in me. You see, this grace is in Christ. Turn back with me for just a
moment. Hold that place there. And turn back to Ephesians 1.
The grace that's in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 1, verse 3. Now listen
to it. And mark these words, at least
in your mind, if not with your pen and your Bible. Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed
us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ. That's where it is, it's in Christ.
"...according as he chose us in Christ before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
him in love, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children
by Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he made us
accepted in Christ." in the Beloved, in whom, in Christ, we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches
of his grace." My son, my dearly beloved son, be strong in grace. Grace. And that's in Christ. Now, the
third word is strong. Be strong. Be firm. What is strong? Be firm, unmoving, dedicated
to the grace of God in Christ Jesus. I feel like that I can say this
morning, after these many years in the ministry, that we have
not kept back anything profitable to God's people. We have not
shunned the declaring to you all the counsel of God. If anything
can be said about this ministry, it is that we have been strong
in grace, in the grace that's in Christ Jesus. Now, there's
a twofold strength. First of all, be strong inwardly. That's where it all begins. That's
where the issues are settled. You see, as a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he. I don't ask you to contend for
something you don't believe. I don't ask you to be strong
in something you don't understand. I don't ask you to lay down your
life for something of which you're not convinced. So where it's
got to start is in here. I preach election because I believe
it. David said, and Paul repeated what he said, I believe, therefore
I speak. I believe it in here. I believe
it in here. My son, God said, give me your
heart. Keep your heart out of any of the issues of life. So
if a man in his heart inwardly is rooted and grounded and settled
and established in the grace of God, then he'll be strong
outwardly. My son, be strong. Be strong
inwardly. And if you are strong inwardly,
I can't help. That's what the apostles said
when these officials told them to quit preaching this message.
And that's what some of those missionaries have told Ken Wyman
in Africa. That's what they told those native
students, quit preaching this message. And here's what they
tell them. That's what the apostles told
the authorities. We can't help but speak those
things that we believe, that we've seen and heard. So if you're
strong inwardly, you'll be strong outwardly. And you'll live it,
and you'll preach it, and you'll talk it, and you'll defend it. No compromise. I tell you, I
can really, I can only think of one reason why a person would
compromise the gospel of God's grace. I can only think of one
reason. I sat and looked at this a long
time now. day before yesterday. I don't
think we ought to say things that we don't believe, that are
not true. And I thought, now why? Why would a man, why would
a man refuse to preach the gospel of the grace of God? Why would
he? And I tried to think of a dozen
different reasons. I only came up with one. He doesn't
believe it. That's the only one I can come
up with. But someone will say, well, what about the fear of
man? The fear of God overcomes the fear of man, doesn't it? If I really believe
God, then I don't fear what man can do to me. And somebody else
says, well, what about personal ambition? Well, I'll tell you,
the only ambition and the desire, the only real ambition and desire
in the heart of a true believer, a true servant of God, is to
win Christ and be found in him. to know Christ and the power
of his resurrection. That's the true desire and ambition
and drive of a believer. And I thought of this, well what
about the desire for growth? A lot of preachers want to see
things happen. They want to see growth in the
church. They want to see success. But
I thought not at the expense of God's glory. A true servant who really knows
God and believes God is more concerned with the glory of God
than he is his success. He's more concerned with the
name of Christ. He wouldn't compromise the name
of Christ to get a crowd. He wouldn't compromise the glory
of God to get a crowd, not if he believed God. You know, our
Lord Jesus Christ said this over in John 6. Now listen to him.
He said, all that my Father giveth me will come to me. He's preaching
now to a huge crowd of people, all these folks out there, and
he's preaching. And he said, all that my Father giveth me will
come to me. And him that cometh to me I'll in no wise cast out.
I came down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him
that sent me. And this is the will of him that
sent me, that of all which he hath given me I'll lose nothing,
but raise it up at the last day. And then he said, no man can
come to me except my Father which sent me. And I raise him up at
the last day. It's written in the prophets,
they shall all be taught of God, and he that hath heard and learned
of the Father cometh unto me. I'm the bread of heaven. Except
you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you.
And it says in John 6, the verses in 60 or 65, it says, and many
of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. They
said, this is a hard saying, who can hear it? And they went
back and walked no more with him. And there he stood, his
crowds all gone. He's told them the truth, he's
preached to them his gospel, preached to them himself, and
they're all gone now, but the twelve. And he turned to the
twelve, read it, John 6, and he said, will you also go away? Will you also go away? This gospel
is not going to be compromised even if you go away. Isn't that
what he said? And that's when Peter said, Lord,
to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal
life. So my son, be strong, rooted, grounded, settled, unmoving in
the grace of God which is in Christ Jesus. If you have to
lose your best friend for the grace of God, just look at him
and say, will you also go away? I hate to say you go, I love
you, but you'll just have to go if it's between me and you
and Christ. You know, be strong. Be strong. Be strong. Be strong. And then verse 2,
and the things that you've heard from me, and the things that
you've heard from me. What did Timothy hear from Paul?
Well, I think these things are summed up back there in the chapter
before, chapter 1. He says in verse 8, 2 Timothy
1.8, Be not thou therefore, Timothy, ashamed of the testimony of the
gospel of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner. I'm in prison. I'm Christ's prisoner, not Nero's. But be thou a partaker of the
afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God, who had,
here's his gospel, who had saved us, God saved us, salvations
of the Lord. And called us, he called us with
a holy calling. Not according to our works, but
according to his own purpose and grace, which was given in
Christ before the world began. He wasn't sold to us after we
did something, or heaped upon us because it was given to us
before we was ever born. This grace was given us in Christ
before the foundation of the world. before the world began. But it's now this grace, purposed
and planned and given and conferred upon a people, this grace is
now made manifest, it's now revealed, clearly understood by the appearing
of our Savior, our covenant head, our surety, our mediator, our
Messiah. He has come. The one they said
would come is here. The seed of woman's here. The
prophet's here. The priest is here. The appearing
of our Savior Jesus Christ. who himself hath abolished death,
spiritual death, eternal death, and he hath brought life and
immortality to life through the gospel. And I, whereunto I am
appointed a preacher, and you are too." Now, you be strong
in that grace, and don't you mumble, and don't you back down,
and don't you compromise, and don't you be ashamed. To say, He saved us, He called
us, He chose us, He gave us this grace, He gave it to us before
the world began, and He manifested it, revealed it in the appearance
of His Son, who loved us and died for us. Don't you back down
on that. Don't you do it. You be strong.
That's the things I've taught you. Go back to my text, now
cross the page. You be strong in the grace that's
in Christ Jesus given us before the world began, and those things
you've heard of me among many witnesses. Who are these witnesses? Well, I thought of three things.
Our Lord said in John 5, 31, if I bear witness of myself,
if I'm the only witness of what I'm saying, then what I'm saying
is not true. If I'm the only one that teaches
this, it's not true. But he said, I have other witnesses,
John the Baptist, the Father who sent me, the works that I
do, and the scriptures. Many witnesses. And then Paul
wrote in Hebrews 2, that don't let this gospel slip, which was
preached to us by our Lord and confirmed by them that heard
him. Then in Hebrews 12, he says we're compassed about with many
witnesses. We run a race and we're surrounded
by many witnesses. Those witnesses aren't a bunch
of people in heaven watching you to see when you stumble and
fall and when you fail and clap their hands when you succeed.
They're not even looking on us today. They're looking on him.
But these witnesses are the witnesses he talked about in the chapter
before Cecil. He said that by faith Noah built
an ark, by faith Abel offered a sacrifice, by faith Enoch walked
with God, by faith Abraham left his home, by faith Moses kept
the Passover. Those are the witnesses. And
what they're witnessing is what they heard and saw. Christ! See what I'm saying? They're
bearing witness to Christ. And Paul said, Timothy, now you
be strong in this grace that's in Christ and the things you've
heard of me among all these witnesses, the same commit to faithful men
who shall be able to teach others also. You commit this to dedicated
men. Now, a fellow walking by all
busy doing something else. You needn't worry about him.
He's got fish to fry and other things to do. But those faithful
men that love Christ and love His Word and they're committed
and they're dedicated, you commit these things to them. You commit
them to them. And they'll be able to teach
others. See, it's a teaching ministry.
I hear people say, well, Brother Mahan, He's not much of a preacher,
but he's a pretty good teacher. If you want mine, that's what
I'd like to be known as. But I believe if I was a pretty
good teacher, he might be a pretty good preacher. I don't think you're going to
rush people into the kingdom of God by hollering at them,
screaming at them. Now, a good possibility you might
crowd somebody into the kingdom of God by telling them who God
is and what he needs. And that needs math. You commit
this to these faithful men, and they'll be able to teach others.
And then watch this now, let me give you this. Thou therefore,
my son, endure hardness, harassment, persecution, and all the trials
and difficulties that come as a result of this gospel, you
endure it as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Now, Paul here
uses three pictures in the next few verses, three pictures of
perseverance, of devotion, consecration, and faithfulness. He uses a soldier,
he uses a race, a runner in a race, and he uses a farmer. Now, here's
what he's talking about. He said, I preach the gospel
to you, Timothy. Now, you be strong. Wherever
you go, with whomever you associate, you be strong in the grace that's
in Christ. be strong. And you commit this
truth to faithful men that they may teach others, and you endure
hardness and the offense and the difficulties you face like
a soldier out there on the field. And verse 4, no soldier, no man
that's a soldier that woreth entangleth himself with the affairs
of this life, that he may please him who's chosen him to be a
soldier. A soldier's not going to compromise. You see, here's a man, here's
one standing right here who knows that God's on the throne. I know
that. I know God's sovereign in all things. I know that his
grace is free, it's effectual, it's redeeming grace. I know it's in Christ. I know
these things. I know salvations of the Lord. Now, I'm in the
army of Christ. He's my commander-in-chief. I'm
not going to compromise with the enemy. One of our boys over
there in Saudi Arabia in the desert, you think they'd compromise
with the Iraqis? Compromise with the Syrians or
Iranians? Or maybe pull their flag down
because those fellas came marching by? No, they'll run it up a little
higher. See, a soldier doesn't compromise. He doesn't collaborate with the
enemy. He knows the cause. He loves the cause. He's dedicated
to the cause. He flies the flag. He wears the
uniform. He serves under that flag, and
he follows his commander, and it's yes, sir. And it's yes, sir. Get in your
plane, Cecil, and fly right into the face of death. Yes, sir.
That's all right. It'll be all right. Want it?
That's what he says about you who preach and teach the Word.
It's yessir. Amen, God. Amen. And then he says about an athlete,
verse 5, a man running a race, strives for the crown, strives
to cross the finish line. They don't crown him unless he
strives lawfully. Unless he what? Unless he runs
the race by the rules. There's a prescribed track. He's
got to start here when the man tells him to start. And he starts. He don't start before. That's
not lawful. That's not ruled. That's not
the rule. And he doesn't take off over across the field either.
Nor does he take a shortcut. There's a finish line around
there. You see, you've got to run all the way around to that.
Well, I'll just run across here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. You've got to do, you've got
to go when he says go, and follow the track that he's prescribed,
and cross the line. And that's the same way with
those who teach and preach the Word of God. They follow the
rules, the track laid down. They go when he says go, and
they go the route that he prescribed, and they stay on it. They don't
get sidetracked or sidelined. This is what so many so-called
preachers do. They're out there in the left
field somewhere talking about something that nobody's interested
in, answering questions that ain't nobody asking. With the
grace of God, follow the track. Your dispensation to your generation. And when you cross the finish
line, it'll be well done. And then the next illustration,
the farmer, verse 6. The farmer that laboreth must
first be partaker of the fruits. I know we can use that this way.
Well, man's going to give fruits to others, ought to taste them
first himself. He ought to experience it before
he tries to teach anybody else, that's right. But that's not
according to the context. The man that's a soldier is dedicated
and faithful and loyal with no compromise. A man that's an athlete
follows a prescribed track and runs according to the rule. And
a man that's a farmer, before he reaps, he's going to plow,
he's going to put some sweat out there, he's going to go out
there and plow, he's going to bust up stumps, he's going to
plant, he's going to cultivate, he's going to water, he's going
to do all that, and then you'll see the fruit. And that's the
same way with this thing of sowing the seed of the Word of God.
You'll do it faithfully, you'll do it diligently, you'll do it
laboriously, you'll do it effectually, and then one day, by God's grace,
you'll see some fruit. But we're not going to see any
fruit if we compromise the very seed of the Word. We're not going
to see any fruit until the soil is prepared and the seed is planted,
and it's God that gives the increase. You know what he's saying here?
My son, my dearly beloved precious son, you're not an underling
to me, you're not a hireling, you're my son. But I'm telling
you something, you be strong in the grace that's in Christ
Jesus. And things I've taught you, you hold to them like a
soldier. You hold to them like a man with
a prescribed route. And you diligently sow and plant
and water, and God will give the increase. Now, verse 7, you
consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding
in these things. Consider, chew on them. You'll
see an old cow, you'll see his head down, the old cow will see
her head down, she'll keep on eating grass, eating grass, eating
grass, eating grass, eating grass. After a while, she'll lie down
over there and you'll see her chewing, chewing. Somebody told me they stir up
that grass and kind of belch it back up. Well, that's kind
of crude, isn't it? But when you get home, you belch
back up what I've said this morning and chew on it a little while.
Chew on it next week. Chew on it. And when your past
crosses one of these compromisers and you see if it doesn't bring
forth some fruit, you consider these things. Consider these
things. And you remember this, here are
three things to remember, verse 8. You remember, and I close
with this. Come on, get with me now. Remember three things.
Number one, Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, the promised
Messiah, that's what it's talking about, was raised from the dead,
according to my gospel. This is the gospel of God's purpose,
of Christ's purchase, and of Christ's resurrection. This is
the gospel. Because he lives, we live. You
remember that. Secondly, verse 9, and I suffer trouble. I'm in jail. They even call me
an evildoer. I've even got fetters and bonds
around my hands and feet. But you remember this, Timothy,
the Word of God is not bound. This servant may die tomorrow,
and these faithful elders here may die tomorrow. And these men
out preaching the gospel in other places, you know, may be swept
away or put in prison or whatever, but the word of God's not changed.
It's the same. It's the same. See, whatever
happens to Paul has nothing to do with the word of God. The
word of God will go forth in power as a sword, as a hammer,
as a fire. His word will not return void.
His word. It's not Paul that says it's
the word. You can put Paul in jail, but you can't put the word
in jail. That's the reason I hear them talk about they took prayer
out of schools. No, they took ritualism out of
school. Prayer is still there. It's in
the heart of everybody that believes. You can't take prayer out of
any place. You can't take Christ out. You can put the preacher
in jail, but you can't put the word of God in jail. Can't put
the Spirit of God in jail. Remember that. And then remember
one more thing. Verse 10. Therefore, whatever
I endure, whatever I do, it's for one purpose. It's for the
elect's sake. You say, you preaching for the
elect this morning? Yes, sir. That's exactly why I'm preaching.
You prepared that sermon for the elect. That's right. Those
missionaries, Walter, Ken, Dan, Milton, Bill Clark, are they
just looking for the elect? That's right, they're looking
for the elect. Well, how do they know when they
find them? That's what I'm going to tell you about tonight. His people hear his voice, and
they'll believe this gospel. And I endure this for the elect's
sake, listen, that they may obtain, that they also may obtain the
salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. I believe,
just as surely as I'm standing here, looking out into the faces
of you who are sitting here, who've attended this ministry
for years, who've come from West Virginia and Ohio and Kentucky
and all parts, east, west, north and south, all different ages,
walks of life, you've come here, you've heard the gospel, not
just from my lips, but from many other preachers, the gospel,
and all of this was because you're one of God's elect. And he brought
you here to hear that message. And that's why he brought me
here, that's why he brought Don here Wednesday night, that's
why Gary will be here next Wednesday to preach, that's why he's coming.
Because there's somebody, God's elect out there that's going
to hear the gospel. I believe that. Remember, consider what
I say now, and remember three things. God raised Christ from
the dead. He's our victorious Redeemer.
And I may be in jail, but the Word of God is never bound. It's
going on, it's heaven-gladdening, soul-saving, sin-killing, as
the Father said, way, Christ's glorifying way. And thirdly,
whatever God does and whatever his servants do is for the elect's
sake, and they'll be brought to faith. All right, let's sing
Praise the Savior. Mike, come and lead us in hymn
number 51. Praise the Savior, ye who know
him.

Be Strong In Grace
