Title: Traces of the Life He Lived
Contents Traces of the life he lived. Text: Genesis 5:21-24
* A turtle climbs a sand dune on the beach to lay an egg, lays an egg, covers the egg with sand, and returns to the sea. On the sand where the tortoise came and went, traces of his footsteps remain clearly.
* Our people are also born in the world and live each one's life, but after people live and go, traces of his life are bound to remain vividly.
*The people recorded in the Bible have traces of their lives recorded in the Bible,
People who are not recorded in the Bible (including us) are also recorded in the records of the works of the kingdom of heaven, so the traces of their lives will remain as indelible traces.
* As soon as we know this fact, humans stop talking and acting recklessly, and in order to leave traces of a life that anyone can admire, we must obey and discipline ourselves to live a truly meaningful and valuable life according to God's will. .
1. Look at the traces of the life that the first humans, Adam and Eve, and their descendants lived
1. Adam and Eve, who were created from a handful of dust, not themselves, but Almighty God
It was made in your likeness and likeness.
1) The Garden of Eden, created for them, was a paradise on earth.
2) All fruits were randomly picked and eaten.
2. However, He said not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:8,15-17)
1) However, Adam and Eve did not stop eating all the fruits.
2) I picked the forbidden fruit and ate it (Genesis 3:1-6).
3) It is the disobedience of God's word and the two words that Satan tempts.
Believing and obeying Satan's words was a huge crime.
3. Because Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, through one man, Adam sinned the world (all people)
It has brought the results that come to us (Romans 5:12).
1) As a result, not only Adam became a sinner and died, but all sinned.
that has led to death
2) So, you can see how big of a result one person's unrighteous actions can bring.
4. The traces of Cain's life that follow the traces of Adam's life from Cain born by Adam
You can see the traces of an even more terrible life.
1) The sacrifices Cain and Abel offered to God show what kind of faith they were.
2) Abel's offering was a sacrifice of the blood of the Lamb that was pleasing to God.
3) However, Cain did not believe in the sacrifice of the blood of the Lamb and rejected it. So even if God wants
It is an offering of grain that you have not given.
4) As a result, God accepted Abel's offering, but Cain's offering was not acceptable.
5) It was Cain who distrusted God and made a mistake.
Not only did he envy and hate him, but he also became a murderer who killed his brother Abel in the field (Genesis 4:8).
5. How does Genesis 6:5-7 describe the life of the people of the world in Noah's day?
1) Verse 5, “The Lord says, that the iniquity of a man is pervasive in the world, and that every plan of the thoughts of his heart is always
See that it is only evil."
2) Verse 6 “He was grieved in his heart that he had made man on the earth.”
3) Verse 7, “Garasade, the man I created, I will sweep from the face of the earth, from man to livestock and
even the creeping things and the birds of the air, because I am sorry that I have made them."
* It was such a world, but what kind of trace did Noah leave? (Genesis 6:9,22,8,)
1) Verse 9, “These were the days of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his time, and he
accompanied"
2) Verse 22 “So Noah did, just as God commanded him to do.”
3) Verse 8, “But Noah found favor with the Lord.”
2. What kind of grace did God prepare for those who sin before God and save them each time?
1. When Adam and Eve sinned and were born, God said that Jesus Christ came as the descendant of a woman.
that Satan's head was bruised, and that Jesus was nailed to the cross
He promised to save mankind (Genesis 3:15). People of the Old Testament are saved by believing that promise
received.
2. When Cain killed his brother Abel, he gave the criminal Cain a ticket to escape death.
He did not let anyone manna kill him (Genesis 4:13-15). The mark is a sign of atonement.
It was a sign of salvation.
3. For those who sinned in Noah's day, God prepared an ark through Noah, so that by simply entering the ark, they could be saved without being killed by the flood.
The ark was built with three floors, so it was enough for everyone at that time to enter and be saved.
However, people at that time rejected God's grace and favor and distrusted them and eventually all perished.
And only Noah's family, the eight-year-old family, who built the ark by faith and entered it, were saved.
3. How should the saints who long for God's grace leave traces of their lives?
1. The appearance of the crow and the dove that came out of the ark gives us a lesson in life (Genesis 8:6-11).
1) After the crow came out of the ark, the flood did not stop, so it could not find a place to settle, but it returned to the ark.
Without coming back, it fluttered its wings and roamed the waters.
2) It is for unbelievers who love the world rather than rest and peace living in the ark
It shows the saints in the flesh.
3) Some theologians believe that the reason why the crow did not return is that the ashes refer to the carcasses of animals killed in the flood
It was said that the maze crow did not return to the ark.
4) But when the dove came out of the ark, there was nowhere to hide, so it immediately returned to the ark.
And when he came out of the second ark again, he brought a young olive leaf to the leaf.
5) Pigeons show a completely different appearance from ravens. A true believer prefers life in Christ to the pleasures of the world. So he enjoys abiding in the Lord. And just like a dove bites an olive leaf in its mouth, it rejoices in spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ in its leaf.
2. The first thing Noah did after he came out of the ark was to take a clean animal and offer it as a burnt offering to God.
(Genesis 8:18-20)
1) The saints give thanks to the Lord God who saved them, and give thanks for themselves and what they have.
We enjoy giving to God with joy (Romans 12:1-2)
2) So Abraham enjoyed offering even his only son Isaac, born when he was 100 years old, as a burnt offering to God.
will throw
3) When Solomon became king after his father at a young age, he first offered 1000 burnt offerings to God.
Then God asked him what he wanted him to do, and Solomon asked for wisdom.
God gave him wisdom because he asked after God's own heart, and he had wealth and honor that Solomon did not ask for.
received the grace of
3. The traces of life that Enoch left in today's text are three hundred years of walking with God.
This is the trace of life that he was taken away.
1) When Ki gave birth to Methuselah, he was 65 years old. From then on, I started walking with God.
But he continued to walk with God for 300 years until he was taken from the world.
lived
2) In this way, walking with God is possible only when we are in agreement with God.
(Amos 3:3) "How can two walk together unless they agree?"
3) Therefore, because Enoch always accepted God’s will as his own will and agreed to it for 300 years.
It is knowing that you have always walked with God.
4) And how glorious is it that he was taken alive into the kingdom of God?
4. See the traces of the life Jesus Christ lived and went
1. He is the original essence of God (Philippians 2:6).
1) But Jesus did not consider equality with God to be robbery.
2) Rather, he emptied himself and took the form of a servant and became in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:7).
3) And he humbled himself and was humbled to the point of serving people.
4) And finally, to deliver men from their sins, from death, judgment, and the fire of hell,
He was beaten countless times, and was crucified on the cross of Calvary and put a crown on His head.
He was pierced in the side with a spear, poured out water and blood from his body, and died for us.
(Phil 2:8) (1 Peter 2:24) (Isaiah 53:3-6) (Matthew 27) (John 19).
2. Jesus is still alive, saving souls who are buried and working in the saved saints.
you are helping
3. Jesus Himself intercedes for us on the heavenly throne (Romans 8:34)
He is preparing a future dwelling place for believers to enter and live (John 14:1-3)
4. Jesus Christ is our righteousness and the life, the good shepherd and the rock of refuge
A city of refuge, our shield, our captain, our God, our Prince of Peace
He is the everlasting Father and our Lord. - Amen- Hallelujah-
