IV. TEXT:

Luke 16:15 (Amplified Bible)

But He said to them, You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted and highly thought of among men is detestable and abhorrent (an abomination) in the sight of God.

V. THESIS:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for Your sake I let myself suffer wrong, be deprived of what is my due here on earth, cheated, defrauded and robbed and insignificant here on earth for I know I am highly esteemed in Your sight as the apple of Your eye. Always make my heart broken and contrite and thoroughly penitent before GOD because GOD will not despise me.

1 Corinthians 6:7 (Amplified Bible)

Why, the very fact of your having lawsuits with one another at all is a defect (a defeat, an evidence of positive moral loss for you). Why not rather let yourselves suffer wrong and be deprived of what is your due? Why not rather be cheated (defrauded and robbed)?

Proverbs 7:2 (Amplified Bible)

Keep my commandments and live, and keep my law and teaching as the apple (the pupil) of your eye.

Psalms 51:17 (Amplified Bible)

My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.

Matthew 5:3 (Amplified Bible)

Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

VI. TITLE:

VII. EXPLICATION:

A. Author: Dr. Luke, The Beloved Physician (close friend and traveling companion of Paul)

B. Audience: Theophilus (Greek means friend of GOD, a Christian)

C. Purpose: To give a connected and orderly narrative of the life of CHRIST as seen by eyewitnesses

VIII. MAIN BODY:

Luke 16:15 (Amplified Bible)

But He said to them, You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted and highly thought of among men is detestable and abhorrent (an abomination) in the sight of God.

Luke 16:15 (King James Version)

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

A. Hypocrites declare themselves just and upright before men but GOD knows their hearts.

"But He said to them, You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright before men, but God knows your hearts."

Jeremiah 17:10 (Amplified Bible)

I the Lord search the mind, I try the heart, even to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Psalms 7:9 (Amplified Bible)

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the [uncompromisingly] righteous [those upright and in harmony with You]; for You, Who try the hearts and emotions and thinking powers, are a righteous God.

Acts 15:8 (Amplified Bible)

And God, Who is acquainted with and understands the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit as He also did to us;

1 Corinthians 4:5 (Amplified Bible)

So do not make any hasty or premature judgments before the time when the Lord comes [again], for He will both bring to light the secret things that are [now hidden] in darkness and disclose and expose the [secret] aims (motives and purposes) of hearts. Then every man will receive his [due] commendation from God.

B. What is exalted among men is abomination before GOD

"For what is exalted and highly thought of among men is detestable and abhorrent (an abomination) in the sight of God."

Psalms 49:18 (Amplified Bible)

Though while he lives he counts himself happy and prosperous, and though a man gets praise when he does well [for himself],

Psalms 10:3 (Amplified Bible)

For the wicked man boasts (sings the praises) of his own heart’s desire, and the one greedy for gain curses and spurns, yes, renounces and despises the Lord.

Psalms 49:13 (Amplified Bible)

This is the fate of those who are foolishly confident, yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

1 Peter 3:4 (Amplified Bible)

But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God.

1 Peter 5:5 (Amplified Bible)

Likewise, you who are younger and of lesser rank, be subject to the elders (the ministers and spiritual guides of the church)—[giving them due respect and yielding to their counsel]. Clothe (apron) yourselves, all of you, with humility [as the garb of a servant, so that its covering cannot possibly be stripped from you, with freedom from pride and arrogance] toward one another. For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful)—[and He opposes, frustrates, and defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble.

ILLUSTRATION: I got one teammate and bless his heart because he always brags about what he does, that he's the best there is, he's always in the limelight, he's always first, he's always the life of the party, but I played gospel songs on my computer and he heard it and uttered a curse or trash talked with his mouth.

Same here, people say things that will make them look good but their hearts are full of rebellion before GOD. Might as well say you're a sinner but by only by GOD's Grace and Mercy we are saved.

1 Corinthians 6:7 (Amplified Bible)

Why, the very fact of your having lawsuits with one another at all is a defect (a defeat, an evidence of positive moral loss for you). Why not rather let yourselves suffer wrong and be deprived of what is your due? Why not rather be cheated (defrauded and robbed)?

The same questions I asked nowadays, like Apostle have asked the Corinthian church two thousand years before.

WHY NOT RATHER LET YOURSELVES SUFFER WRONG AND BE DEPRIVED OF WHAT IS YOUR DUE? WHY NOT RATHER BE CHEATED (DEFRAUDED AND ROBBED)?

I always side with the weak, with the blamed and those with fault, I'm the worst sinner of them all but GOD changed and saved me because of His Great Love and Grace for me for the sake of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for Your sake I let myself suffer wrong, be deprived of what is my due here on earth, cheated, defrauded and robbed and insignificant here on earth for I know I am highly esteemed in Your sight as the apple of Your eye. Always make my heart broken and contrite and thoroughly penitent before GOD because GOD will not despise me.
