Title: Enemies of the Cross of Christ


1
Enemies of theCross of Christ
  • Philippians
  • 318-19

2
Philippians 318-19
  • For many walk, of whom I have told you often,
    and now tell you even weeping, that they are the
    enemies of the cross of Christ 19 whose end is
    destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose
    glory is in their shame who set their mind on
    earthly things.

3
Matthew 543-44
  • You have heard that it was said, You shall love
    your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I say
    to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse
    you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for
    those who spitefully use you and persecute you.

Enemies of Christs disciples had cursed, hated
and abused them.

Matthew 1325, 28, 39
  • (23), But while men slept, his enemy came and
    sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
  • (28), He said to them, An enemy has done this.
    The servants said to him, Do you want us then to
    go and gather them up?
  • (39), The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the
    harvest is the end of the
    age, and the reapers are the angels.

5
Luke 1927
  • But bring here those enemies of mine, who did
    not want me to reign over them, and slay them
    before me.

Parable Those who were unwilling to submit to
the rule of the noblemen. The rebellious are
unwilling to submit to the rule of Christ.
6
Acts 138-10
  • But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is
    translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the
    proconsul away from the faith. 9 Then Saul, who
    also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,
    looked intently at him 10 and said, "O full of
    all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil,
    you enemy of all righteousness, will you not
    cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

Sought to prohibit Sergius Paulus at Paphos from
hearing the gospel.
7
Romans 1128
  • Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your
    sake, but concerning the election they are
    beloved for the sake of the fathers.
  • These enemies (rebellious of Israel) were
  • Blinded (vs. 7)
  • Fallen (vs. 11)
  • Prideful unbelievers (vs. 20)

8
Galatians 416
  • Have I therefore become your enemy because I
    tell you the truth?

If they were resentful of Paul because of his
telling them the truth, it is because they are
unwilling to stand for the truth.
9
Colossians 121-22
  • And you, who once were alienated and enemies in
    your mind by wicked works, yet now He has
    reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through
    death, to present you holy, and blameless, and
    above reproach in His sight.

They had been enemies because of wicked works.
10
2 Thessalonians 315
  • And if anyone does not obey our word in this
    epistle, note that person and do not keep company
    with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet do not
    count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a
    brother.

What would cause any to even consider a brother
in Christ as an enemy? Disobedience!
11
James 44
  • Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know
    that friendship with the world is enmity with
    God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of
    the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Anyone who is a friend of the world is an enemy
to God.
12
Conclusion
  • It may be easier to to identify the enemies of
    the cross of Christ than we think
  • It may be easier to to be an enemy of the cross
    of Christ than we think!
  • The end of the enemies of the Cross of Christ 1
    Corinthians 1525-26

13
1 Corinthians 1525-26
  • For He must reign till He has put all enemies
    under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be
    destroyed is death.

Any enemy of the cross of Christ will be defeated.
