Spiritual Gifts Part 341:

The enduring solution to idolatry

The Doctrine of Spiritual Gifts

Point 4.
Developing the capacity you need to function effectively in your spiritual gift.

Idolatry is man’s placing a visible object of worship before his eyes to protect him from God, thus silencing his conscience that he may indulge his lusts. [William Newell ]

As soon as you move away from God, the kingdom of darkness will supply an idol for you; 2Ti 3:3-4.

The Bible uses the analogy of spiritual fornication or adultery to represent idolatry; Hos 4:12.

Idolatry is expressly forbidden by the word of God, in the strongest possible terms, and with total clarity; Exo 20:1-6.

God “gives up” idolaters to their idols; Psa 135:18.

You become like what you worship!

As you continue to worship the one true living God, you become more and more like Christ in His humanity; 2Co 3:18.

God will eventually destroy all idols.

The first thing you need to do is to FLEE! 1Co 10:14

The enduring solution to idolatry is humility, repentance, and renewal; 1Pe 5:6-11, Gal 5:16.

Idolatry is a deed of the flesh, and the solution to being trapped in fleshly deeds is to walk by means of the Spirit, Gal 5:16!

The enduring solution to idolatry is humility, repentance, and renewal; Col 3:1-11.
