Isaiah 41: Israel Is Assured of God’s Help, and the Futility of Idols

​

Good morning, welcome to our Sunday morning Bible Study. This morning, we continue our study of Isaiah 41 (verses 8-14). In this chapter, through Isaiah, God is encouraging His people to be silent and put their faith and trust in Him rather than in idols. Even in these times we are in, God has delivered the same message to us all; and all those who know and believe in the God we serve, know from where our help and strength comes from (Psalm 121:1-8). The topics we will be reading and discussing in this study include:

 

• God’s assurance of help to Israel, and

• The futility of idol gods.

 

No matter what is happening around us, the Lord has instructed us to be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:1-11).  The sovereignty, strength, power and majesty of the Lord our God  is seen each and every day, and we are not afraid because we know that our God, is God; we trust in Him, we love and adore Him; and we should glorify His Holy name.

​

God’s Chosen People Are Not Forgotten

• Deuteronomy 7:6-11 (The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself)

• Psalm 31:19-21 (Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You)

• 1 Peter 2:4-10 (The chosen stone and His chosen people)

• Matthew 22:1-14 (Many are called, but few are chosen)

• John 15:15-16 (You did not choose Me, but I chose you)

• Matthew 11:25-27 (No one knows the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him)

• Romans 10:8-13 (There is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him)

• Galatians 3:26-29 (For we are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus)

• Ephesians 1:3-14 (Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ)

• Hebrews 3:1-15 (We partakers of the heavenly calling)

• Romans 10:14-21 (How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!)

• Isaiah 10:20-23 (A remnant of them will return)

What Must I Do to Be Saved?

​

1. Recognize, and admit, that you are a sinner; we are all sinners (Romans 3:23).

2. Repent of your sin (Matthew 4:16-17; Acts 3:19-21); turn away from sin, and turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

3. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is:

​

• The only begotten Son of God; who died on the cross to pay for our sins (John 3:16-17).

• God raised Him from the dead on the third day after his death (1 Corinthians 15:4; Matthew 28:1-10).

• God ascended Jesus Christ into heaven, where he is now seated at the right hand of God as High Priest and Ruler over His people (John 3:13; Matthew 26:64; Mark 16:19; Luke 22:69; Hebrews 8:1-2; Acts 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:18-21).

• Pray a prayer of Salvation (confess with your mouth and believe in your heart – Romans 10:8-10):

 

Lord, I recognize and admit that I am a sinner. I confess with my mouth, and I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, and by his blood I have been redeemed. I believe that by the blood of Jesus Christ, I am healed, sealed, and delivered into Your hands God.

 

Lord, I believe that on the third day, You raised Jesus from the dead, that he ascended into heaven, that all power and authority is given to him in the earth, beneath the earth, and in heaven. Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is seated at Your right hand, and that he reigns and rules as Lord, King, and High Priest over Your people. I desire to be a child of the Most-High God, to be adopted into Your family. Heavenly Father, I am choosing in this day to repent of my sins, and return to You. I receive Your free gift of Salvation, I receive Jesus Christ in my heart as Lord, King, and Saviour over my life. Jesus, you are the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings.

 

I ask that you come into my heart now, save me, change me in my heart and in my mind; transform me Lord, take hold of all that I am; so that I may become one with you and one with the Lord our God. Father, I thank You for saving me, I thank you for your Son Jesus, I thank you for inclining Your ear to hear my prayer. These things I pray, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. Amen.

​

Now That I've Accepted Jesus Christ, What's Next?

​

Be baptized for the remission of sin, receive the Holy Spirit of God, and forsake not the assembling of yourselves; begin to connect with other born-again believers (Hebrews 10:24-25; Proverbs 27:17; Acts 2:40-47). We are the children of the Most-High God (Romans 8:14-17); we are forever sealed, and we are set aside for God’s own purpose (1 Peter 2:9; Deuteronomy 14:2; Psalm 4:3; 1 John 4:4-6). We know it is Jesus Christ who set us free, and it is by his blood that God sealed His last covenant with His people (Hebrews 8:6-13; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).  As God’s messengers of hope in the earth, we are commissioned to deliver the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are lost.

 

We are to show people that the Light of Glory still shines in the earth, even in this day.  Where there is light, there is a straight path that leads to that light (John 14:6; John 1:1-5); it is a path wherein darkness will never ever prevail, and where darkness can never hide (Matthew 4:16; John 8:12).  Now that you have accepted Jesus Christ in your heart, as Lord and Saviour, your next step is discipleship.

 

We invite you to join us in this journey to Christ; come, learn, and grow with us. Learn more about Jesus Christ, and grow in the grace of our God. Get to know truth of God’s word, God’s true purpose in your life, and His intent for those who belong to Him (Jeremiah 29:11-13; Romans 8:28). As you begin to grow in the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of our Lord; you’ll begin to know and realize how you fit into the glorious plan of our Father, as one of His chosen (Ephesians 1:3-14).  

 

Jesus commissioned us to continue the work he started back then with the original twelve (Matthew 10:1-4).  The work Jesus started back then continues forth, even today; through those who have been chosen of God through Christ our Lord. As born-again believers, our purpose in Christ is simple: bring souls to Christ through the teaching, preaching, and ministering of God’s Holy Word; and through the spreading of the good news of the gospel of Christ.

 

In our studies of the scriptures, we find that Jesus Christ demonstrates to us how to win souls to him; he also teaches us about the Kingdom of Heaven, about the ways of His Father, who is also our Father (our God), and about the Holy Spirit of God who lives within all those who have been born again in Christ.  Soul winning is the very heartbeat of our God. In this journey to Christ, you will learn about all of these things and more.

 

The invitation is extended to you personally, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Will you come?
