17. The Real Deal (John 8:31-59)

In this message, Pastor Bob Hallman draws a parallel between the physical weakening and vulnerability of animals that are not nourished and the spiritual danger of not consistently immersing oneself in the word of God.

Pastor Bob emphasizes the importance of nourishing oneself with the word of God to gain strength and avoid becoming prey to the enemy. He cautions against exposing oneself to great danger by not regularly engaging with the teachings of the Bible.

Bob also highlights the deceitful nature of satan, who lies and tempts individuals away from making biblical decisions. He stresses the need to consistently honor Christ and hold to his teachings, even in the face of opposition.

 

Furthermore, the message emphasizes the contrast between believers and unbelievers. Pastor Bob describes believers as those who hold to the teachings of Christ, consistently engage with the word of God, and honor and obey God's commands. He encourages men to lead their families in the word of God and model a consistent devotional life. 

We can be assured that we are permanent sons or daughters in God's family, set free by Christ. The importance of obedience to God's commands is emphasized, with Pastor Bob reminding us the genuine love for God is demonstrated through obedience. He warns against hypocrisy and highlights the need for a sincere and obedient walk with God to experience an intimate and liberating relationship with Him.
