INTRODUCTION: Read 2 Thessalonians 3:6<\/p>\n
1. This passage deals with a specific problem in the Thessalonian church.<\/p>\n
2. There were brethren who refused to work for their own living, 2 Thessalonians 3:11<\/p>\n
3. These were called “disorderly.” They were without discipline.<\/p>\n
4. These did not walk after the tradition received from the apostles. Therefore, they were in sin.<\/p>\n
5. We have, in this apostolic injunction, a principle that must be learned by the people of God in every generation. If it is not learned the church withers.<\/p>\n
6. WE MUST WITHDRAW OURSELVES FROM THE DISORDERLY.<\/p>\n
7. Withdraw means to keep away, stand aloof (Gingrich, Shorter Lexicon).<\/p>\n
8. This is not something to be taken lightly but with fear and trembling.<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION:<\/p>\n
I. WE MUST WITHDRAW FROM THE DISORDERLY<\/p>\n
1. From those causing divisions, Romans 16:17.<\/p>\n
2. From the factious or heretical, Tit. 3:10<\/p>\n
1) hAIRETIKOS, factious, causing divisions (Gingrich, Shorter Lexicon).<\/p>\n
3. Those who have thrust the faith from them, 1 Tim. 1:19-20<\/p>\n
4. From the fornicator, the covetous, 1 Corinthians 5:1-13<\/p>\n
II. WE SHALL NOT WITHDRAW WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE<\/p>\n
1. We must attempt to restore the erring, Gal. 6:1.<\/p>\n
2. James 5:19.<\/p>\n
3. We must attempt to restore the one who sins against us personally, Matthew 18:15-17<\/p>\n
4. Jesus’ basic reason for coming to earth was to seek and save the lost, Luke 19:10.<\/p>\n
5. We are to give a first and second admonition (to instruct, warn). Tit. 3:10; Matthew 18:15-17.<\/p>\n
III. WE SHALL NOT WITHDRAW WITHOUT CONSIDERING OURSELVES<\/p>\n
1. Gal. 6:1<\/p>\n
2. Considering ourselves means:<\/p>\n
1) to learn from the mistakes of others. Let it be a warning to us. Luke 17:32<\/p>\n
2) to realize that it could have been us. 1 Corinthians 10:12<\/p>\n
a. We are not to think that we are so spiritual that we are immune. Gal. 2:11; 2 Samuel 12<\/p>\n
b. We are not to have a haughty attitude. Luke 15:11-32<\/p>\n
3) to examine ourselves to make sure we are not in sin. Matthew 7:3-5.<\/p>\n
IV. WE SHALL REALIZE WHAT OUR FAILURE TO TAKE ACTION MEANS<\/p>\n
1. No love for the sinner.<\/p>\n
1) We have it within our power to save a soul from death. James 5:19-20; 2 Kings 7:3-9.<\/p>\n
2) The love of Christ constrains us. 2 Corinthians 5:10-14; Acts 18:5.<\/p>\n
2. No love for the church.<\/p>\n
1) 1 Corinthians 5:6<\/p>\n
2) Ephesians 5:25-27<\/p>\n
3. No love for Christ.<\/p>\n
1) If ye love me keep my commandments. John 14:15.<\/p>\n
2) John 15:14<\/p>\n
3) We sin when we do not discipline. We must repent and confess it to God.<\/p>\n
4. No love for God. 1 John 5:3.<\/p>\n
CONCLUSION:<\/p>\n
1. We see a brother in sin.<\/p>\n
2. Out of love for the brother, the church, and the Lord we go to him to warn and instruct him.<\/p>\n
3. We do this in an attitude of humility, considering ourselves.<\/p>\n
4. If the brother repents and confesses to God and the church a soul is saved and we have gained our brother.<\/p>\n
5. If he does not repent after the first and second admonition we must withdraw ourselves.<\/p>\n
6. We do this out of love for the brother, that he might repent.<\/p>\n
7. We do it out of love for the church, that it might be kept pure.<\/p>\n
8. We do it out of love for the Lord, for to love Him is to keep His commandments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
