Bible Study – CHRIST in You, The Hope of Glory - July 19, 2026

 

There are human forces coupled with evil ideologies at work in America and the world today. Those forces are attempting to push America to adopt a socialistic or communistic way of life.

Many people think they will get things for free. I say open your eyes, ears, and mind because you will see they are leading you into slavery to evil ideology and bondage.

Those who think Socialism or Communism is the answer, I ask you to look carefully at other countries who have embraced socialism or communism.

Just look around at the countries that have adopted the socialist/communist governments.

Life in Cuba is falling apart. Life in Russia, South Korea, China are without freedom.

The elites in these countries, in general, do okay but the common person is relegated to a bare existence.

Socialism is attempting to take over and unless those who value freedom take a stand against this movement, it will.

Fortunately, we have the right to vote. All US Citizens must use this right and vote for those who uphold freedom.

We have the right to pray and attend the church of our choice.

Communism is a Godless society. The communist government is the god of those countries.

I encourage all who know JESUS as their Savior to pray, support their church, study GOD’S Word, THE HOLY BIBLE, and support our religious leaders, Christian churches, and missionaries.

Socialism is empty. The elites survive in luxury, but the common person gets the leftovers, if there are any.

Folks the bottom line, DO NOT FALL FOR THE SOCLIALISTS’ LIE – Socialism Does Not Work – DO NOT FALL FOR FREE THIS, THAT OR THE OTHER------ Socialism is but a small step to Communism.

I used the frog in the water story in a previous lesson.

Place a frog in hot water and it will jump out of the container but place a frog in cool water on top of a stove and gradually turn up the heat on the pot of water and the frog adjusts to the increase in temperature until it becomes too late for it to jump out and it cooks to death.

What can you and I do? Pray for national and local leaders who support freedom, Vote, and support those who represent and work for freedom.

Why is this even raising its head in our nation? There is a thirst for power and control at any cost.

Guess who is behind such a movement?

If you said or guessed Satan/the Devil, you got it.

So, what does the Christian community do?

We pray and work to elect and support those who maintain our freedom.

We have seen some of those who have been endorsed to represent certain states that do not represent American or Christian values.

We are seeing one political party embracing the radical left of Socialism just to get elected. Some people will fare well in a socialism environment, but others will be miserable but will have no option except comply.

Fight and VOTE TO KEEP YOUR FREEDOM!!!!

John 8:36 - Christian Standard Bible

³⁶ So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.

JESUS has set those who place their trust in HIM free from the consequence of sin, which is eternal death in Hell.

JESUS did not set people free from them to be enslaved by Socialism or Communism!!!

JESUS did not set us free to be enslaved by government.

Consider the number of lives that have been given to achieve our freedom in America and for the people of other countries to keep their freedom.

LET FREEDOM RING FROM YOUR HEART AND STAND FIRM WITH JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR.

JESUS has already defeated Satan by giving HIS sinless life on the cross by the shedding of HIS sinless blood to conquer death, which is the result of sin.

JESUS died physically but the Good News is that GOD, HIS FATHER, raised HIM from the physically dead to eternal life on the third day.

This was to let the world know that JESUS, born human, yet GOD, was GOD’S only begotten SON and JESUS conquered eternal death.

JESUS had to have lived a perfect sinless life to be the perfect acceptable sacrifice to GOD and atone for all sin. JESUS fulfilled GOD’S requirement to defeat the consequence of eternal death because GOD raised JESUS from physical death to eternal life.

1.    1 Corinthians 15:20 - Christ’s Resurrection Guarantees Ours

But as it is, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

2.    Hebrews 6:17

Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath,

Hebrews 7:22-28:

²² Because of this oath, Jesus has also become the guarantee of a better covenant.

²³ Now many have become Levitical priests since they are prevented by death from remaining in office. ²⁴ But because he (JESUS) remains forever, he holds his priesthood permanently. ²⁵ Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them.

²⁶ For this is the kind of high priest we need: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. ²⁷ He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do—first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all time when he offered himself. ²⁸ For the law appoints as high priest’s men who are weak, but the promise of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son, who has been perfected forever.

JESUS ascended into Heaven after HE was resurrected to take HIS seat at the right hand of GOD, HIS FATHER, to intercede for all seek to be “Born Again” and “Born Again” Christians. Why? Satan is the accuser of all people and most especially those who are “born again” Christians when they sin. JESUS intercedes for all “born again”/ “Spirit born” believers. Why?

Even though, those who have been “born again” are secure in their faith in JESUS, Satan is their accuser. “Look at what he or she did!!!”

Satan’s desire is to defeat all “born again” Christians but once born into GOD’S eternal family, you are always GOD’S Son or Daughter.

Yes, all “born again” Christians stray and need to confess his or sins. In doing so, reveals to GOD that you are not trying to hide what we know is sin. We are not to hide our sins but confess it or them and seek GOD’S help and strength to not repeat it or them.

Do you recall the study on the prodigal son? Most of us get into the weeds of the world at one time or another and we need to be rescued.

GOD seeks to save those who are lost and those who have gone astray. GOD always seeks the lost person or those who have gone astray.

As Holy Spirit Born believers, we will not reach perfection until we get to Heaven and JESUS welcomes us to our eternal home. Welcome home my SON or DAUGHTER. JESUS waits for us as we long to be eternally with JESUS and our FATHER, GOD!!!

All people must accept and acknowledge what JESUS did to satisfy GOD’S requirement to remediate the consequence of sin, which is eternal death.

JESUS paid, in full, the price for sin for all who place their faith in HIM. This opened the pathway to GOD and eternal life for all people who place their faith in JESUS.

How do you place your faith in JESUS?

Ask JESUS to forgive you for all of your sins and for HIM to come into your heart. In doing so, The Holy Spirit unites with your human spirit, and Spiritual conception takes place quicker than the twinkle of your eye. You are eternally born again Spiritually into GOD’S eternal family, never to be unborn Spiritually.

THE HOLY SPIRIT unites with your human spirit, and Spiritual conception takes place quicker than the twinkle in the eye. That person is “Born again” Spiritually, never to be unborn Spiritually.

Plus, as recorded in Philippians 3:20

Our citizenship transfers from earth to Heaven, and we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ to return to earth or join HIM in Heaven.

When our journey upon earth is complete; the eternal destiny for all who are “born again” is eternity in Heaven.

What awaits those who enter Heaven?

The Apostle Paul expressed it best in 1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written, What no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived— God has prepared these things for those who love him.

The resurrection of JESUS is GOD’S proof to all people, who place their faith in JESUS of being “born again” in his or her spirit of eternal life, which is confirmed by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

JESUS is the first fruit from death to confirm that HE paid the price for sin, in full, to reveal to all that HE conquered both sin and eternal death. How do we know that?

GOD raised JESUS from the dead on the third day to eternal life. JESUS conquered death so that all who place their faith in HIM have eternal life through the miracle of being “born again” Spiritually.

Colossians 1:27

God wanted to make known among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

All Born Again Christians must keep their focus upon the finished eternal work of JESUS and HIS gift to all who place their faith in HIM.

Prayer and Bible study helps Christians to keep and maintain their focus. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!

Blessings!!!
