======================================================================== YIELD TO HIS GLORIOUS WILL by Clement of Rome ======================================================================== Summary: The sermon encourages listeners to yield obedience to God's excellent and glorious will, and to seek His compassions by forsaking fruitless labors and strife. Topics: "Gods Will", "Obedience" Scripture References: 1 Peter 1:22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clement of Rome emphasizes the importance of yielding obedience to God's will, seeking His mercy and loving-kindness, and turning away from fruitless labors, strife, and envy that lead to death. He encourages believers to focus on those who have faithfully served God, like Enoch who was translated without experiencing death due to his righteousness, and Noah who preached regeneration and saved animals through his obedience to God. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So let us yield obedience to His excellent and glorious will; and imploring His mercy and loving-kindness, while we forsake all fruitless labours, and strife, and envy, which leads to death, let us turn and have recourse to His compassions. Let us steadfastly contemplate those who have perfectly ministered to His excellent glory. Let us take (for instance) Enoch, who, being found righteous in obedience, was translated, and death was never known to happen to him? Noah, being found faithful, preached regeneration to the world through his ministry; and the Lord saved by him the animals which, with one accord, entered into the ark. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/clement-of-rome/yield-to-his-glorious-will/ ========================================================================
