This free audio sermon on Mathematical Equations and the Bible is drawn from the sermon outline listed below. I suspect it was an old chart or bed sheet lesson. It was a new idea for me till last Sunday.
Here are a few spiritual truths that can be expressed to us from God’s Word in the form of mathematical equations:
Addition:
Bible + Man’s Doctrine = Condemnation (Mark 7:7-9; Revelation 22:18)
Belief + Baptism = Salvation. (Mark 16:16)
Repentance + Baptism = Salvation. (Acts 2:38)
Law + Transgression = Sin (1 John 3:4)
Faith + Virtue + Knowledge + Self-Control + Perseverance + Godliness + Brotherly Kindness + Love = Fruitfulness. (2 Peter 1:5-9)
Subtraction:
Bible — Part = Condemnation. (Revelation 22:19)
Body — Part That Causes You To Sin = No Offense. (Matthew 18:8-9)
Church — Disorderly Brethren = Purity. (2 Thessalonians 3:6)
Angry with brother — Cause = Danger of hell fire (Matthew 5:22)
Prayer — Ceasing = Diligence in prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Love — Dissimulation (hypocrisy) = Genuine love, agape
Body — Spirit = Dead Body; Faith — Works (of God) = Dead Faith (James 2:26)
Multiplication:
Disciples x Disciples = Growth. (Acts 6:1, 7; 5:31; 12:24)
7 0 x 7 = Figurative number describing forgiveness of our brethren . (Matthew 18:21-22)
Division:
Bible ÷ By Study = Proper Understanding. (2 Timothy 2:15)
House ÷ Against Self = Collapse. (Matthew 12:25)
Religious World ÷ By Men = Strife + Confusion. (1 Corinthians 1:10-13)
The following are from James 1:14-15 and describe the process of Temptation, Sin and Spiritual Death…
Desire (“own lust”) + Opportunity (“Enticed”) = Temptation (James 1:14
Temptation (“lust”) + Action (“conceived”)= Sin (James 1:15a)
Sin — Repentance (“when it is finished”) = Spiritual Death (James 1:15b)
Existence of God Supported by Mathematical Equation: 0 + 0 = 0
Atheists claim that before the “Big Bang” there was nothing; that, literally, the universe created itself from nothing. Yet, something is here (the universe) and since something cannot come form nothing, we must conclude that something or someone has always existed. That Someone is the Eternal God — Jehovah, the Self-existent One! The ultimate Number ONE!
