English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Sermon: “ For Now I Know ” — God’s Response To Faith With Works Text: Genesis 22:12 God’s Words Are For Us, Not For Him Brethren, when we read, “for now I know that thou fearest God,” we must remember that God did not write the Scriptures for Himself—He wrote them for us (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Lord has always been all-knowing (Psalm 139:1–4; Isaiah 46:10). He knew Abraham’s heart before Abraham even moved.

Jesus said, “Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). Paul affirmed, “The things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord” (1 Cor. 14:37). To obey is to honor Christ...

This fortress of reason is unbreakable: ·      Apostolic ordinance (v.2). ·      Headship order (v.3). ·      Dishonor in worship (vv.4–6). ·      Creation foundation (vv.7–9). ·      Angelic witness (v.10). ·      Mutual dependence with distinction (vv.11–12). ·      Nature’s testimony (vv.13–15). ·      Universal church practice (v.16).
