Welcome to episode 196 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Psalms, covering chapter 49, a Psalm of Wisdom. Today, we will cover:
- The wisdom shared in this psalm is universal, proverbial, and problematic.
- The wisdom shared demonstrates that humanity has a problem, they have been ransomed by God for a price they can’t pay.
- The wisdom shared shows the negative, meaning it is folly to be confident in mans ability to save themselves.
- True wisdom is faithful confidence in the Lord, who paid our ransom.
Key takeaways:
· The Main Point of this Psalm is to show “The Fatal Folly of Foolish Confidence.”
· Christ followers can walk in the “Firm Foundation of Faithful Confidence.”
Quotable:
· “Why would the psalmist phrase it as ransom if no one can pay it?”
· “The only one holding us ransom can also pay our ransom”
· “The only one who can pay an eternal punishment is the one who is eternal.”
· “The only one who can make us right is the one who is right.”
Application:
· You can only walk in Faithful confidence if you have faithful confidence.
· Because of Christ:
o We can now be confident in our righteousness.
o We can now confidently enter Holy places.
· Now we can walk in “Blessed Assurance.”
