1 Timothy 1:17
Pastor Rick Jackson
I. TRUST THE INVISIBLE KING RATHER THAN A VISIBLE KING
[Heb. 11:27]
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the
king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Moses did. Aaron did. Daniel did. David did. Solomon did.
Paul did.
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal,
invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1. Paul knew the Invisible King would win the Duration
contest.
2. Paul knew the Invisible King would win the Divine
contest.
3. Paul knew the Invisible King would win the Dignity
contest.
II. TRUST THE INVISIBLE CREATOR RATHER THAN THE VISIBLE
CREATION [Heb. 11:3]
1. Paul knew God Created by His Word [Heb. 11:3]
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by
the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do
appear.
2. Paul knew God Created by His Power [Romans 1:20]
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
3. Paul knew God Created by His Son [Colossians 1:12-16]
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be
partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from
the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him
were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:
III. TRUST THE ETERNAL RATHER THAN THE TEMPORAL [2 Cor.
4-5]
1. Paul knew Glory outlasts Affliction [4:13-18]
2. Paul knew the Heavenly Body outlasts the Earthly Body
[5:1-8]
3. Paul knew that Heavenly Treasure outlasts Earthly
Treasure [5:9-12]
