Focus on the Family: a true focus
|
Part 4
|
|
Mat15:26.. But He answered and said, "It is not
good to take the children's bread and throw to
the little dogs."

|
GOD's command for fidelity, was obeyed by Joseph, fidelity to Him first, then both parents
raised a family Gen1:28, ever mindful of His law, that they retain His blessing into eternity.
GOD the Christ clearly states His spiritual family must do GOD's will; those outside are
called dogs and are not worthy of His spiritual food, which is reserved for His true sheep.
GOD the Son died (Jn3:16) to reconcile all to Himself Col1:20, a legal act, but we now must
be individually reconciled thru obedient faith in His blood 1Jn1:7 Rom3:25 Col2:11-14.
GOD clearly states sinners are His enemies, tho reconciled legally, are yet to experience
personal reconciliation, or a personal salvation, or a personal redemption, all thru faith.
so
GOD declares anyone remaining a sinner is permanently outside Ps1:5 1Pet4:17,18
Heb7:26 Rom8:6a,7,8,13a Rev22:15, His enemies, dogs, or sons of disobedience + wrath.

Mat1..24 Then Joseph, being aroused
from sleep, did as the angel
of the LORD commanded him and
took to him his wife,
25 And did not know her till
she had brought forth her
firstborn Son. And he called
His name Jesus.
Mk6..3 Is this not the carpenter,
the Son of Mary, and brother
of James, Joses, Judas, and
Simon? And are not His
sisters here with us? So
they were offended at Him.
Mk3..21 But when His own people
heard, they went out to lay
hold of Him, for they
said, "He is out of His mind."
31 Then His brothers and His
mother came, and standing
outside they sent to Him,
calling Him.
32 And a multitude was
sitting around Him; and they
said to Him, "Look, Your
mother and Your brothers are
outside seeking You."
33 But He answered them,
saying, "Who is My mother, or
My brothers?"
34 And He looked around in a
circle at those who sat about
Him, and said, "Here are My
mother and My brothers!"

35 "For whoever does the will
of GOD is My brother and My
sister and mother."
Mk7..26 The woman was a Greek, a
Syro-Phoenician by birth, and
she kept asking Him to cast
the demon out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said to
her, "Let the children be
filled first, for it is not
good to take the children's
bread and throw to the little
dogs."
28 And she answered and said
to Him, "Yes, LORD, yet even
the little dogs under the
table eat from the children's
crumbs."
29 Then He said to her, "For
this saying go your way; the
demon has gone out of your
daughter."
Rom5..8 But GOD demonstrates His
own love toward us, in that
while we were still
sinners, Christ died
for us.
10 For if when we were
enemies we were
reconciled to GOD.
Rev22..14 Blessed, those who do His
commandments, that they may
have the right to the tree of
life, and may enter through
the gates into the city.
15 But outside, dogs.

Eph2..dead in trespasses and sins,
2 In which you once walked
according to the course of
this world, according to the
prince of the power of the
air, the spirit who now works
in the sons of disobedience,
3 Among whom also we all once
conducted ourselves in the
lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the
flesh and of the mind, and
were by nature children of
wrath, just as the others.
Eph5..6 Let no one deceive you with
empty words, for because of
these things the wrath of GOD
comes upon the sons of
disobedience.
Col3..5 Therefore put to death your
members which are on the
earth: fornication,
uncleanness, passion, evil
desire, and covetousness,
which is idolatry.
6 Because of these things the
wrath of GOD is coming upon
the sons of disobedience.
