Salvation

 SALVATION
TEXT: ROMANS 10:9-10, 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21
INTRODUCTION:
Jesus Christ and his sacrificial death on the cross, is the central and most important fundamental basic tenent of the Christian faith. Romans 1:16-18, John 3:36, Acts 16:30-31,Acts: 4:12
Who we are without Christ
Dead- Ephesians 2:1-3, Romans 6:23, John 6: 53, Eph 5:4
Condemned- Rom 8:1-2, John 3:18, Mark16:16
Slave to sin- John 8:34, Rom 6:2-14, Rom 6:20, Gal 5:1,
Slave to Satan- 2Timothy 2:26, 2Peter2:19, Acts 8:23, Rom 7:24, Heb 2:14,
Hopeless end- Psalm37:38, Isaiah1:28, Isaiah13:9, 2Peter 3:7.
Salvation in Christ Jesus- Rom 5:8, Acts 4:12, Titus 2:11.
Saved by Grace- Salvation is God’s free gift to man, we did not earn it but by Grace- Rom 9:14-16, Eph1:7, 1Tim 1:15-17, Rom 6:14,
Not of works- Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5-7, Rom 4:1-5,
No amount of human goodness is as good as God. God is perfect righteousness Hab1:13.
Salvation is the deliverance from sin, the consequences of sin and the judgment of sin through Jesus Christ, thereby giving us the new life of Christ and in Christ.
Eternal life- 1John5:11-12, John3:16, John17:3
Eternal life is not about living forever because no one ceases to exist when they die. Everyone lives forever either in heaven or hell. To understand this, read John 17:3. Eternal life is the life of Jesus Christ. It begins with “knowing” Him-intimate relationship that produces.
God’s plan for man with eternal life is eternal but we have choice to stop it or allow it. Eternal life on its own lives on. But we should also know that there is eternal death.
It is all about love- 2cor 5:14; john3:16
Salvation came by love, and should be kept in love- john 14:15-23
Work out your salvation-Phil 2:12
We are not to produce or work out another salvation but it means to value it, cherish it and watch it – you must love your salvation. Adam and Eve didn’t love theirs to value it, they chose otherwise.
Justification By Faith- Rom 5:1-2, ROM 1:17, ROM 4:5, GAL 2:16
Justification is the legal standing that results from the process of being justified. To say that one is justified from sin is not a claim that he is innocent of the crime; rather that the offender has been exempted from the penalty he justly deserves- Rom 5:12, Rom 6:23

Assurance of your salvation- Rom 8:32, John 3:36, Acts10:43.
Assurance is the confidence realization of our security in Christ. It is the realization of what we have in Christ such as eternal life, forgiveness of sin and being the object of God’s personal care as his children- 1John5:11-13, Col2:13, John5:24,Rom8:1; 5:1.

Summary – it is the will of God that all should be saved and none should perish. Return and reconcile to Jesus Christ today.

Abundance inspite of austerity

TOPIC- ABUNDANCE INSPITE OF AUSTERITY LESSON 2- PRINCIPLES OF ABUNDANCE 2 TEXT- 2 COR 9:10, 2 SAM 24:23-24, GEN 26 The blessings of God will cover our lives when we sow throughout all areas of our lives. If we sow in the church, home, work, with friends and strangers we will reap in all those areas. Wherever the waters of God are flowing fro us, we should sow. If we spend our days giving, we will spend our days reaping. A ) THE SEED SOWN MULTIPLIES – LUKE 6:38, JOHN 6:9-14 There is a common saying “a bird at hand is worth two in the bush”, but in spiritual law, a seed released is worth hundreds yet to be received. The power in your seed to multiply is activated by its release. Your seed is what you sow, your faith is why it multiplies. Our seed multiplies at varying levels, but the lowest level the Word promises is thirty fold – Matthew 13:8. What conditions can affect the level of multiplication of our seed? I) Attitude – 2 Cor 9:7, Acts 5:1-10 II) Obedience to God’s word – Is...

Destiny Fulfilment

THEME: DESTINY FULFILMENT LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TEXT: ISAIAH 60:11 Our success in life is tied to the fulfilment of our divine destiny. Destiny could mean the things that will happen in the future or the force that controls what happens in the future and is outside human control. We should view destiny as something that is discoverable and not decisive. God decides our destiny and we discover it. Proverb 16:9, Proverb 20:24. This year God has assured us of destiny fulfilment. 1) Every man has a destiny: Exodus 2:1-10, Exodus 3:9-12 There is a divine purpose behind every divine destiny. Nobody is in the world as a mistake - we are divinely sent, placed and equipped- Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 37:23. One of the major role of God in a man's life is to ordain his destiny in him and guide him to accomplish it. 2) Man's Role in destiny fulfilment: Genesis 1:27-31, Genesis 3:14-18 Remember that God made man to be a co-creator. To the Christian man, he is the visible and tangible ...

The relevance of the Christian Youth

THE RELEVANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN YOUTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY TEXT- 1 TIMOTHY 4:12-13 “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine”. These were the words of Apostle Paul to timothy; the great apostle used this to warn every youth that no man is lawfully permitted to useless their lives or to take undue advantage of their living. Youths should know their God and serve the one true God in their youthful age. Every Christian youth must rise and shine because the earth has been given to God‘s people to bring down the Kingdom of God to this world and for the propagation of the gospel to places where Jesus Christ is not yet glorified. God has bestowed a lot abilities and privileges to the youths; the youths are much closer to development and the trend of things in the society so this gives them an edge in knowing the things...
