āAnd we, too, being called by his will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that FAITH through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.ā 1 Clemet 32:4
Happy Lordās Day friends and, boy, have I got some EXCITING news to share with you today about a new series Iāve launched this week on the EARLY CHURCH ā¦ oh, and trust me, this one is FIRE š„š„š„
Now donāt PANIC š ā¦ Iāve included links to ALL THREE NEW VIDEOS below!
In that light, you may be surprised with my opening verse today, since, itās NOT Scripture, š± but a quote ABOUT Scripture from a well-known disciple of the Apostle Paul ā Clement ā¦. And YES, that is very possibly the same āClementā Paul mentions in Philippians 4:3!
Friends, this NEW SERIES is the culmination of a YEAR-LONG personal study of the earliest Christian writings outside of the New Testament. Now you may ask, āWhat exactly was your conclusion Pastor AJ??ā ā¦ and Iām glad you said something because my conclusion is that these men were PROTESTANT š±
You heard me right.
Just look at our opening quote.
Honestly, it sounds more like something a modern American preacher would say than a pious Christian from ancient times. If youāre not familiar with some of these issues (like justification by faith ALONE), just watch my new videos and I PROMISE Iāll bring you up to speed, but regardless JUST CLICK š and may God RICHLY bless you friends!
Application:
What is your knowledge of the earliest Christians and how could we benefit from their testimonies?
