“Grace Greater Than All Our Sin”
1 Samuel 2:27-36
1. Eli and His Sons
They had sinned greatly against the Lord.
They were breaking the covenant and failed to carry out their responsibilities as priests.
2. His Sin – The prophet and his message
1 Samuel 2:27-28
Exodus 7:1-2 They were priests descendants of Aaron.
Exodus 28:1 Moses set them apart and anointed them.
Exodus 30:30 They served Yahweh as priests.
3. The Priest’s Portion
Exodus 40:14-15 They were appointed to serve as Priests from generation to generation.
Numbers 18:8-24 They were given the tithes, offerings, and first fruits as their portion and inheritance.
4. ELI’s sin and failure to repent
1 Samuel 2:29
Why then do you scorn my sacrifices and my offerings that I commanded, and honor your sons above me?
5. The Promise
The Prophet’s message: Thus says the Lord,
Therefore the LORD the God of Israel declares: ‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’
From Exodus 40:15
6. The Judgment
1 Samuel 2:30-34
But now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared.
Hophni and Phinehas, shall die on the same day.
7. A Difficult Translation Problem
KJV says, “And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation in all the wealth which God shall give Israel:”
NIV: says, “you will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel,”
NASB says, “You will see the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good that I do for Israel;”
ESV: in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel,
8. Grace For the Future
1 Samuel 2:35-36
And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever.
9. THE BIG QUESTION
Does God’s dealing with us who have come to faith in Jesus differ from the Old Testament?
There are also many similarities and differences:
Both Old Testament and New Testament believers need to respond in faith to the Word of God.
God still disciplines those he loves and receives as his people.
We both serve the same God.
Exodus 34:6-9
The answer is yes!! We are under a different covenant.
There is a Major Difference
We are under the covenant of grace.
Romans 3:21-26 We are justified by faith
Romans 4:7-8 Our sins have been forgiven
Romans 5:1-2 We have peace with God through Jesus
Romans 8:1 There is no condemnation
We are spared from the wrath of God.
But we cannot go on living as we once did when we did not know Jesus.
Galatians 6:7-9
Romans 6:1-4
Romans 6:12-14
Hebrews 13:13-15
We all have received grace upon grace
John 1:16-17 And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
