God's Word is Either a Comfort or a Curse // Isaiah 25 // Pastor JJ Lain

GOD’S WORD IS EITHER A COMFORT OR A CURSE. WAS GOD’S WORD A COMFORT OR CURSE TO ISRAEL? Deuteronomy 11:26-28 “Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.” WAS GOD’S WORD A COMFORT OR CURSE TO SOLOMON? 1 Kings 11:9-13 “The Lord was very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. He had warned Solomon specifically about worshiping other gods, but Solomon did not listen to the Lord’s command. So now the Lord said to him, “Since you have not kept my covenant and have disobeyed my decrees, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your servants. But for the sake of your father, David, I will not do this while you are still alive. I will take the kingdom away from your son. And even so, I will not take away the entire kingdom; I will let him be king of one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, my chosen city.” WAS GOD’S WORD A COMFORT OR A CURSE FOR THE FUTURE? Read Isaiah 25 “God in His Word has told us what’s going to happen, before it happens, so when it begins to happen, non-believers will believe and believers will look up knowing our redemption draws near!” — JD Farag GOD’S WORD DOES NOT NEED TO BE A CURSE FOR YOU Galatians 3:13 “But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 1 John 5:11-12 “And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.”
