821 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 2 Part 1 Book 69 - Kinsman Redeemer - Part 1

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 1 * BOOK 69 KINSMAN REDEEMER – PART 1 Revelation 5; Ruth; I Corinthians 15:1-4 It is good to see everybody in again this afternoon. We’ve got folks from Minnesota, California, and Alabama. Did I miss anybody? Florida? Yeah, Jim right here is from Florida. Okay, for those of you out in television, in case you’re a new listener, we’re an informal Bible study. We try not to get preachy. I don’t want to get theological, per se, but we just want to teach the Book verse by verse, line upon line, and precept upon precept. And we have been blessed! My, we are getting so many people that are seeing things they have never seen before! My goodness, you know, I see things that I never, never heard 30-40 years ago. That’s the whole idea. So, those of you joining us we again thank you for your prayers. That’s most of all. We thank you for your kind letters, and then we thank you for your financial help. After all these things do have to be paid for, and you’ve been picking up the bill every month. We thank you from the depths of our heart. Okay, we’re going to continue on with the redemption of the planet from the last taping. Now, we talked about the redemption that God promised back in Genesis chapter 3 when Adam and Eve were first out of the Garden. Then we spoke of some other times of redemption, like Israel coming out of Egypt. That was an act of redemption. Then we looked at the work of the cross, how that in itself is the work of redemption for the whole human race. And it can be appropriated only by faith. Now we have to make that clear, because I had the question come in again the other day. Since God performed the work of the cross, which was sufficient for every human being, does that mean that sooner or later everybody’s going to get to Heaven? Don’t you ever think it! It is only those who appropriate this finished work by faith. I’m always giving the illustration that Congress can appropriate billions and billions of dollars for a particular purpose. We’ll say for highways. But the states have to make application. They have to appropriate that which Congress has set aside. Otherwise, it just stays there. Well, now that’s the work of salvation. God has finished it. It’s satisfactory for every human being that’s on the planet to personally appropriate it – by faith. That’s what we keep emphasizing. If I’ve got time this afternoon, I’m hoping to get into one of my favorite Gospel passages – I Corinthians 15:1-4. I just can’t imagine why it’s not used more often, but it isn’t. But we’re going to if I have time. So anyway, then we looked at redemption, I think as Paul perceived it in Galatians when he said, “He came to redeem them who were under the Law.” Now, we’re looking at the redemption of the planet. We’re going to have to go to the Book of Ruth after a bit, because when we come down to the redemption of the planet, we have to understand that when Adam fell and he lost that dominion…now, I guess we’d better look at that. I know I’ve got everybody in Revelation 5, don’t I? Well, let’s go back to chapter 1 of Genesis. Keep your hand in Revelation. I’ll be right back. I remember years ago when we were still in the original studio and a gentleman and his wife, who have now moved to Phoenix. They aren’t on the program any more, but Monty and Helen always used to sit on the front row. And I would do just like I did today – okay, I’m going to be starting out in such and such chapter and such and such a verse, and Monty would look up and say, “You want to bet on it?” But, that’s the way I teach. I can’t help it. Okay, back to Genesis chapter 1 when God is now making the promises to Adam in chapter 1 verse 28. Genesis 1:28a “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (or fill it up), and subdue it: (Now, look at the next statement. This is to Adam.) and have dominion over…” The Garden of Eden? Is that what your Bible says? No! That’s what everybody’s idea is, that the only place that Adam had any authority was in the Garden. No! He had the whole planet. That was his dominion. Genesis 1:28b “…and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Was all that in Eden? Well, of course not! So, what does that tell you? Adam’s dominion was the whole planet. It was all his to have control of, under God of course. All right, but when Adam sinned, when he disobeyed God by the simple act of eating of the tree, what happened to that dominion? He lost it! Who picked it up? Satan! Never forget that. Adam dropped the ball, and just that quick Satan picked it up. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
