What are the essential components of the gospel? 1. The character of God. The Bible describes God as holy (Ps. 99:3, 5, 9; Rev. 4:8), righteous (Ps. 11:7), just (2 Thess. 1:6), and perfect (Matt. 5:48). He hates sin and has nothing to do with it. In fact, He pours out His justified wrath on sin (Rom. 1:18; Eph. 5:6). 2. The character and nature of man. At the same time, the Bible describes man as having a sinful nature (Ps. 51:5), hopelessly separated from God. We are unable to please God in and of ourselves (Rom. 8:8). We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). We cannot save ourselves, and we deserve the wrath of God (Rom. 2:5). 3. God’s love for man. Yet despite our sinful ways, God has shown His great love for us (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8). In His mercy, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us. On the cross Christ paid the full penalty for our sins and became the object of God’s wrath (2 Cor. 5:21). 4. Man’s response to God. If we confess and turn away from our sins and believe in Jesus Christ and the work He did for us on the cross, we can be saved (Mark 1:15; Rom. 10:9). If we possess faith to trust in God and the love He showed us through Jesus Christ, we are genuine Christians. We are justified – we receive forgiveness of our sins and are credited with Christ’s righteousness, Jesus’ life of perfect obedience (Rom. 3:24-27). In short, God restores our relationship with Him and adopts us into His family because of His grace and not because of anything we do (Gal. 2:16; Titus 3:5).

Sermon Seeds D19, 7/24/00

 

 

************************************************************************************

2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1

THAT’S GREAT!

 

GREAT CHALLENGE – Vs. 14a

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:

 

Great Considerations Vss. 14b-16a

… for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?

 

GREAT COMFORT – Vss. 16b-18

… for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

 

GREAT CLEANSING – 7:1

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

 

************************************************************************************

1 John 2:28-3:1

JESUS IS COMING!

 

As Christians we know that Jesus is coming soon. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Titus 2:13, Revelation 22:20. Because Jesus is coming soon Christians are to be:

 

STANDING IN CONFIDENCE - Vss. 28-29

When Jesus comes there will be a judgment for the Christian. This will not determine our place of eternal rest (That was decided when we trusted Christ as Savior. John 3:36), but it will determine our rewards. 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:11-15, 4:5

As Christians, if we expect to stand before Him in confidence and not be ashamed at the Judgment Seat we must abide in Him now! Vs. 28, John 15:1-7

Because we know that Jesus is righteous, we are to practice righteousness now. Vs. 29

 

SEEING HIS LOVE - Vs. 1

God has shown tremendous love towards us by declaring us to be His children. John 1:12-13

The world does not understand us because it has rejected Christ.

 

SHARING HIS RESURRECTION - Vs. 2

We are now God's children.

Because of this we will share in the resurrection of Christ.

We shall be like Him!

 

SHOWING OUR APPRECIATION - Vs. 3

Because we have this "blessed hope" of seeing Jesus as He is and being like Him, we are to purify our lives and strive to live like Jesus.
