Attitudes Of Heart That God Expects / Christ’s Dual Lordship / Assimilate What He Is, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 19, 1961. Hidden Treasure.
Attitudes Of Heart That God Expects
The Lord wants us to have certain attitudes towards each other and towards Him. We must have an attitude of carefulness so that we do not stumble our brother; of faithfulness so that we rebuke him when he sins; and of forgiveness, which is the key to the New Testament church. Towards the Lord, we must have an attitude of faith, submissive dedication, and thanksgiving, so that God’s blessings are not shut off from us.
Christ’s Dual Lordship
There are two areas of the Lordship of Christ: His Lordship over everything in heaven and earth; and His specific Lordship over His Body, the Church. As the Body of Christ deepens her submission to Christ as Lord, then there will be greater manifestations of His headship over all kingdoms, principalities, and powers.
Assimilate What He Is
We must come to the Communion table with the realization that we can appropriate and assimilate the life of Christ–His nature, His attributes, and His wisdom–as we voluntarily surrender our life to Him.
