WALKING IN GRACE: A BRAND NEW YOU!
Review from last week
Humanism is the worst heresy in the present
day church.
To show grace is to extend favor or kindness to one
who doesn’t deserve it, who can never earn it and who
can never repay it.
There is nothing you can do to make God
love you less and nothing you can do to
make God love you more.
“Without faith it is impossible to please
God.”
Is your walk of discipleship made up of you trying to do things for Christ?
or in allowing Christ to do things IN and THROUGH you?
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has
come!
To be in Jesus is not only an outward
profession, but also an inward change of heart and indwelling of His
Holy Spirit.
"Depart from me, I do not know you, you
workers of iniquity."
Do you feel that God accepts you as you
are?
In our society we have been programmed to believe that identity is
INSEPARABLE from behavior.
But God determines identity by BIRTH.
You now have a spirit that is alive.
“For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own
poets have said, ‘For we are also His
offspring.’” (Acts 17:28)
Old things are passed away
Regenerating grace creates a new
creation.
new life
new senses
new affections
new appetites
new ideas
new opinions
new pleasures
new desires
Not improved but brand new
Not a new version of older model but a brand new model
Not turning over a new leaf but starting
a brand new life
