1 Th Way of God Ths studis ar dsignd for blivrs in Jsus Christ only. If you hav xrcisd faith in Christ, thn you ar in th right plac. If you hav not, thn you nd to hd th words of our Lord, Who said, For God so lovd th world that H gav His only-bgottn [or, uniquly-born] Son, so that vry [on] bliving [or, trusting] in Him shall not prish, but shall b hav trnal lif! For God did not snd His Son into th world so that H should judg th world, but so that th world shall b savd through Him. Th on bliving [or, trusting] in Him is not judgd, but th on not bliving has alrady bn judgd, bcaus h has not blivd in th Nam of th only-bgottn [or, uniquly-born] Son of God. (John 3:16 18). I am th Way and th Truth and th Lif! No on coms to th Fathr xcpt through [or, by mans of] M! (John 14:6). Evry study of th Word of God ought to b prcdd by a naming of your sins to God. This rstors you to fllowship with God (1John 1:8 10). If w acknowldg our sins, H is faithful and just to forgiv us our sins and to clans us from all unrightousnss (1John 1:9). If thr ar popl around, you would nam ths sins silntly. If thr is no on around, thn it dos not mattr if you nam thm silntly or whthr you spak aloud. Prfac: Th phrass th way of God, His way, th way, th path of God, ar found primarily in th Old Tstamnt and in th gospls (as Jsus taught what was in th Old Tstamnt). Ths ar vry common phrass lik th phras in Christ which ar rarly givn a full thological xplanation. Sinc God th Holy Spirit blivd this to b a maningful phras, w ought to study what it actually mans.

Strong's #1870 BDB #202. W find this word usd ovr 700 tims in th Old Tstamnt.

2 Pag -2- From Psalm 51:13 B 2. Thr is a similar word, but not usd narly as oftn: nâthîyb (ðèúäéá) [pronouncd naw-thee V], which mans, path, pathway, footpath, a troddn down path. Strong s #5410 BDB # This word is usd most oftn to rfr to an ancint road or path upon which popl, animals and carts movd. Gn. 16:7 24:62 35:19 4. This phrasology was rarly usd in th Nw Tstamnt pistls. Ptr will us this trminology mor than anyon ls will. Rom. 3:12, 17 (ths ar quots from th Old Tstamnt) 2Ptr 2:2, 15, 21 and Jud 11 (whr th phras th way of Cain is usd). This vocabulary is also found in th book of Acts, which is usually a rfrnc to salvation. Th Way of God Can Rfr to Salvation 1. Whn it coms to th way of Y howah, thr is th way of salvation, whrin w bliv in Jsus Christ; and thn thr is th lif of th blivr, whr h grows in grac and knowldg of Jsus Christ. You will not both aspcts in th doctrin blow. And Jsus said to him, Go, your faith has hald you. And instantly h saw again, and h followd Jsus in th way (Mark 10:52). 2. Thr is th way of th rightous and th way of th sinnrs. Psalm 1: Thr is no dath in th pathway of rightousnss. Prov. 12:28 4. Th unblivr dos not know th way of pac so that thr is no justic in his own path. Isa. 59:8 5. Th ky is our rlationship to th Son of God; th ky is faith in th Son of God. Kiss th Son, so that H is not angry, and you prish from th way, whn His wrath is kindld in but a littl tim. Blssd ar all who put thir trust in Him (Psalm 2:12). 6. This phras th way is found usd for th way of salvation or th way to pac with God through rdmption in th book of Acts. Th ida is, most Jws and som gntils had som sort of undrstanding of this phras. Acts 16:17 18:25, 28 19:19, 23 24:14, Somtims w find th phras th way of pac. This gnrally rfrs to pac btwn man and God, which is first salvation and thn a good tmporal walk with Him.

God s plan for man is calld th ancint paths and th good way; and along this way, on finds rst for on s soul. Jr. 6:16 2. His way or th way ar phrass which dscrib th plan of God.

God is prfct, and yt H tachs sinnrs in His way: Good and upright is Jhovah; thrfor H will tach sinnrs in th way. Th mk H will guid in judgmnt; and th mk H will tach His way (Psalm 25:8 10). 3.

And many popl shall go and say, Com, and lt us go to th mountain of Jhovah, to th hous of th God of Jacob. And H will tach us of His ways, and w will walk in His paths. (Isa. 2:3a).

5 Th Doctrin of th Way of God Pag Th wickd man hardns his thinking against God s way, but th upright man (th man who is savd and a growing blivr) stablishs God s way. Prov. 21: Th blivr who forsaks th way of rightousnss and cannot b rprovd can fac th sin unto dath. Prov. 15: Similarly, th blivr who dos not forsak his way can di th sin unto dath, but still b ultimatly prsrvd. Ezk. 33:9 16. Th way of rightousnss is simply and asir road than th way of th lazy. Th way of th lazy on is lik a hdg of thorns, but th way of th rightous is mad plain (Prov. 15:19). S also Prov. 22:5 17. Th foolish man prvrts God s way. Prov. 19:3 Isral and th Way of God 1. Isral s tim in th land was rlatd to thir walking in th way of th Lord. By way of application to today (sinc w ar not in th Ag of Isral), this would b long lif and grat trnal rwards. Prov. 2: ) Lt m go off on a tangnt hr: in th Old Tstamnt, thr wr particular popl who had a particular function in th plan of God. Ths mn wr givn th Holy Spirit in ordr to accomplish spcifically what God had for thm. 2) Howvr, most popl did not hav this, so, aftr salvation, thy wr to liv by th laws of divin stablishmnt, which providd thm th gratst amount of happinss and prsrvd thir nation. 3) God viws man individually and in groups. God, for instanc, lookd at Isral as a whol, and dalt with Isral as a corporat body. Thir adhrnc to th laws of divin stablishmnt was ky to thir prsrvation. 4) Howvr, Isral also had a particular plac in th plan of God as thos who prsrvd and dissminatd His Word. Thrfor, this was also takn into account in God daling with thm. 5) Although God dals with man today in corporat ntitis (marriag, family, local churchs, schools, c o r p o r a t i o n s, b u s i n s ss, nighborhoods, citis, nations), vry blivr (and, potntially, ach prson) has a plac in th plan of God. Thrfor, vry blivr has God th Holy Spirit in ordr to function within th plan of God. 2. Isral was commandd to rmmbr how God ld thm along th way in th dsrt. Dut. 8:2 3. Moss warnd th popl that thy would turn asid from th way which h had commandd thm. Dut. 31:19 4. This was fulfilld many tims.

Somtims God contrastd His way with th way of som dgnrat king, lik Jroboam. 1Kings 15:34 16:2, It was th propht who would guid th popl in th way of Jhovah. A fals propht was such an affront

6 Pag -6- From Psalm 51:13 that God said for him to b xcutd. And that propht or that dramr of drams shall b put to dath, bcaus h has spokn to turn you away from Jhovah your God, who brought you out of th land of Egypt and rdmd you out of th hous of slavs, to thrust you out of th way in which Jhovah your God commandd you to walk. So you shall put th vil away from th midst of you (Dut. 13:5). 8. Lading Isral along th way of th xodus mtaphorically spaks of God lading Isral to Him. Jr. 2: Th Jws will com to a point in thir history whr thy do not know th way of th Lord; to whr thy do not vn know that God is punishing thm. Jr. 5: Th way of th gntils is in contrast to th way of God. Jr. 10:2 11. God st bfor Isral th way of lif and th way of dath. This was actual, as rlatd to th Chaldans; and mtaphorical. Rsponding to th way of lif was listning to Jhovah Elohim. Jr. 21: Whn th popl promis that thy want to know th way in which thy should walk, God will giv thm spcific instructions through Jrmiah. Jr. 42: Som of th popl dclard th way of th Lord to b unfair. Ezk. 18: Judah would b judgd for walking in th way of Isral. Th ida is, whn Judah bgan to walk in th way of hr sistr, God would dal with Judah as H dalt with Isral. Walking along th sam way would lad to th sam fat. Ezk. 23: Isral complaind that th way of th Lord was not fair. Ezk. 33: God would disciplin th trib of Lvi for turning out of th way. Mal. 2:8 9 Lif Aftr Salvation: Etrnal Rwards 1.

Just as God is prfct, so is His way. Psalm 18:30 3. David s dsir was to tach sinnrs, lik himslf, th way of God. In fact, this bcam vn mor important to David aftr having falln into this grat sin. Psalm 25:8 32:8 51:13 4. It is th rsponsibility of th parnts to Train up a child in th way h should go; and whn h is old, h will not dpart from it (Prov. 22:6). 5. God is truth and rquirs no instruction in th way. Isa. 40: God s plan includs storms and th wathr. Nahum 1:3 7. W can crtainly contrast man s way with God s plan. Lt th wickd forsak his way, and th unrightous man his thoughts; and lt him rturn to Jhovah, and H will hav mrcy on him; and to our God, for H will abundantly pardon (Isa. 55:7). Th Way of God and th Lord Jsus Christ 1. God th Son maks th plan of God succd. Isa. 48:15 2. John th Baptizr prpard th way of th Lord as His hrald.

7 Th Doctrin of th Way of God Pag Jsus Himslf is th way of salvation. I am th Way, th Truth and th Lif; no on coms to th Fathr but through M. (John 14:6). Jsus illustrats this in svral ways: 1) Bcaus narrow is th gat and constrictd is th way which lads to lif, and thr ar fw who find it. (Matt. 7:14). Compar to Prov. 8:20 Matt. 7:13, 15 2) Thn Jsus said to thm again, Point of doctrin: I say to you, I am th door of th shp. (John 10:7). 3) I am th door. If anyon ntrs in by M, h shall b savd and shall go in and out and find pastur (John 10:9). 5. Th way of salvation, of cours, is by faith in Jsus Christ: Thrfor, brothrs, having boldnss to ntr into th Holy of Holis by th blood of Jsus, by a nw and living way which H has conscratd for us through th vil, that is to say, His flsh; and having a High Prist ovr th hous of God, lt us draw nar with a tru hart in full assuranc of faith, having our harts sprinkld from an vil conscinc and our bodis having bn washd with pur watr (Hb. 10:19 22). 6. Evn thos who wr trying to trip Jsus up, usd th phras th way, without fully comprhnding that Jsus Himslf is th way. Matt. 22: It is th Lord Jsus Christ Who tachs us th way. Com nar to M, har this; I hav not spokn in scrt from th bginning. From its bing, I was thr; and now th Lord Jhovah, and His Spirit, has snt M. So says Jhovah, your Rdmr, th Holy On of Isral, I am Jhovah your God who tachs you to profit, who lads you by th way that you should go. (Isa. 48:16 17) 8.

And that propht or that dramr of drams shall b put to dath, bcaus h has spokn to turn you away from Jhovah your God, who brought you out of th land of Egypt and rdmd you out of th hous of slavs, to thrust you out of th way in which Jhovah your God commandd you to walk. So you shall put th vil away from th midst of you (Dut. 13:5). 6. Th Jws will com to a point in thir history whr thy do not know th way of th Lord; to whr thy do not vn know that God is punishing thm. Jr. 5: God st bfor Isral th way of lif and th way of dath. This was actual, as rlatd to th Chaldans; and mtaphorical. Rsponding to th way of lif was listning to Jhovah Elohim. Jr. 21:8 10 Th Way of God and th Lord Jsus Christ 1.

Compar to Prov. 8:20 Matt. 7:13, 15 2) Thn Jsus said to thm again, Point of doctrin: I say to you, I am th door of th shp. (John 10:7). 3) I am th door. If anyon ntrs in by M, h shall b savd and shall go in and out and find pastur (John 10:9). 3. Th way of salvation, of cours, is by faith in Jsus Christ: Thrfor, brothrs, having boldnss to ntr into th Holy of Holis by th blood of Jsus, by a nw and living way which H has conscratd for us through th vil, that is to say, His flsh; and having a High Prist ovr th hous of God, lt us draw nar with a tru hart in full assuranc of faith, having our harts sprinkld from an vil conscinc and our bodis having bn washd with pur watr (Hb. 10:19 22). 4. It is th Lord Jsus Christ Who tachs us th way. Com nar to M, har this; I hav not spokn in scrt from th bginning. From its bing, I was thr; and now th Lord Jhovah, and His Spirit, has snt M. So says Jhovah, your Rdmr, th Holy On of Isral, I am Jhovah your God who tachs you to profit, who lads you by th way that you should go.
