Listen "Psalm 49"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to episode 196 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Psalms, covering chapter 49, a Psalm of Wisdom. Today, we will cover:- The wisdom shared in this psalm is universal, proverbial, and problematic.- The wisdom shared demonstrates that humanity has a problem, they have been ransomed by God for a price they can’t pay.- The wisdom shared shows the negative, meaning it is folly to be confident in mans ability to save themselves.- True wisdom is faithful confidence in the Lord, who paid our ransom.Key takeaways:· The Main Point of this Psalm is to show “The Fatal Folly of Foolish Confidence.”· Christ followers can walk in the “Firm Foundation of Faithful Confidence.”Quotable:· “Why would the psalmist phrase it as ransom if no one can pay it?”· “The only one holding us ransom can also pay our ransom”· “The only one who can pay an eternal punishment is the one who is eternal.”· “The only one who can make us right is the one who is right.”Application:· You can only walk in Faithful confidence if you have faithful confidence.· Because of Christ:o We can now be confident in our righteousness.o We can now confidently enter Holy places.· Now we can walk in “Blessed Assurance.”Connect with us:Web site: https://springbaptist.orgFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)Need us to pray for you?
