BINDING AND LOOSING

• BINDING AND LOOSING
• The Keys of the Kingdom
• Matt 1618-19
• "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon
  this rock I will build My church and the gates
  of Hades will not overpower it. "I will give you
  the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatever
  you bind on earth shall have been bound in
  heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall
  have been loosed in heaven."

• Matt 1818-20
• "Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth
  shall have been bound in heaven and whatever you
  loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.
  
• "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on
  earth about anything that they may ask, it shall
  be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.
  "For where two or three have gathered together in
  My name, I am there in their midst."

• 2 Cor 517-62
• Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
  creature the old things passed away behold, new
  things have come. Now all these things are from
  God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ
  and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,
  namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the
  world to Himself, not counting their trespasses
  against them, and He has committed to us the word
  of reconciliation.
• Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as
  though God were making an appeal through us we
  beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to
  God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on
  our behalf, so that we might become the
  righteousness of God in Him.
• And working together with Him, we also urge you
  not to receive the grace of God in vain-- for He
  says,
• "AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU,
• AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU."
• Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now
  is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"--

• Phil 314-21
• I press on toward the goal for the prize of the
  upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let us
  therefore, as many as are perfect, have this
  attitude and if in anything you have a different
  attitude, God will reveal that also to you
  however, let us keep living by that same
  standard to which we have attained.
• Brethren, join in following my example, and
  observe those who walk according to the pattern
  you have in us. For many walk, of whom I often
  told you, and now tell you even weeping, that
  they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose
  end is destruction, whose god is their appetite,
  and whose glory is in their shame, who set their
  minds on earthly things. For our citizenship is
  in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a
  Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ who will
  transform the body of our humble state into
  conformity with the body of His glory, by the
  exertion of the power that He has even to subject
  all things to Himself.
