7.7 Don’t Waste His Work on the Cross!
Feelings Follow Thinking
Where is your thinking causing you pain or trouble?
Where are you lying to yourself?
What is the truth?
What words do you associate with GRACE?
What words do you associate with CONFESSION?
What feeling to these concepts?
Where did these come from?
ARE THEY RELIABLE SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE?
Epistemology…WTF?
A Theology of Grace?
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
He is the great high priest / vicar.
He is the second Adam.
He died on the cross AS us.
Can God reject Himself?
Gal 3 (J.Y. m0d3rn1s3d 2012)You fools. Who has conned you lot? You have been told a million times that Jesus died for you sins! Tell me this, did you receive his Spirit by getting it all right, OR by believing what you were told? Why so stupid? Starting so well in His forgiveness but now pretending you have to earn acceptance by being perfect. You noobs!
Don’t Waste His Work on the Field!
Hebrews 12:19“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by
the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain that is this body. And since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw
near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed
with pure water.”
Romans 2:21 – Righteous through faith alone.“But now a righteousness from God apart from law, has been made know to which
the Law and the Prophets testify,. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Chris Jesus.”
Romans 8:00 – No condemnation – free from law of sin and death.“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because
through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.”.
GRACE
So what? I get to go to heaven…?
• What would it be like to run a race you have already won?
• What would it be like to hang out with somebody that you knew unconditionally accepted you?
• What would it be like to accept yourself in the same way that God does?
• Would it be easier to accept others if you had this for yourself?
What about consequences?
Avoid them!
Seek Wisdom
Love Truth (Both with yourself
and others.)
