Presentation transcript:

Relationship with God: through the Son’s revelation The Father’s absolute holiness [integrity] is the unchangeable standard for the whole relationship (the point-of-contact with God) Divine grace-given provisions for us to receive and enjoy eternal life are located only in the Son—not in us, in nature, other religious teachers, or saints The Son is in absentia so invisible like the Father; therefore his teachings through the apostles is our point of contact When we: (1) sense the holy integrity of the Father through the witness of our conscience, and; (2) submit to the teachings of Jesus as those of the Father, then  the Father AND the Son respond by deepening their relationship with us

Classical dispensational view: CHURCH AGE Israel (Law)Tribulation & Millennium “the darkness is passing and the true light now shines....you have overcome the Evil One...the world is passing away”...You are worthy to...open the seals...for you have redeemed us....” Final, worldwide decision: “what is your response to Jesus Christ?”

Conclusions: Fellowship with the Triune God involves a logical sequence of contact points Contact with the Father’s unalterable integrity is primary Contact with the Son in absensia is treating his teaching as direct from the Father Contact with the Holy Spirit is respecting his work in believers today
