Sermon Daniel’s Purpose
Daniel 1:8
I. His Position
In the court of Babylon
A Captive
Away from Home
II. His Purpose
He as true to a godly education. No student could have stood this test had he not be thoroughly well taught
He was true to conscience
He was true to the word of God
He was true to his brethren
Had he failed doubtless they would of been
E. He was true to His God
III.His Peril
He does not speak of it as disobedience to God - Though he felt it to be that
Nor does he speak of it as disobedience to parents - It was that
But as defiling himself - every wrong thought, feeling, word, deed defiles one’s self
IV His Piety
It was old fashioned - based on the Word of God - nourished by prayer
It was real - come what may - he would not sin
It was fruitful - who can measure the influence of that one life
V. His Promotion - By the Grace of God he rose
From slavery to liberty
From obscurity to highest fame
