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.

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...

Introduction to Divine purpose

THEME: UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIVINE LIFE PURPOSE LESSON ONE: INTRODUCTION MAIN TEXT – PROVERBS 16:1-11 1) DEFINITION Well, there are multiple interpretations of what life purpose is. It may be called a spiritual calling and it can also be seen it as a higher instruction from God. Beyond religious connotations, a life purpose is simply your life’s message. It is the message you wish to drive in the world during your existence on Earth. Having a life purpose applies to all of us, whether we are religious, non-religious, or atheistic. This means that we are made by God to accomplish his desire in our living, so all must come to Him for directions.- Jeremiah 1:4-12. Well, a life purpose is the first step toward living a truly conscious life of your creation. While you can be busy with a million goals and tasks every day, when you don’t have a clear purpose (one that you believe in with your heart), you may well be barking up the wrong tree. That’s because your goals and tasks may well h...

Follow-up

THEME- POPULATING GOD’S KINGDOM TOPIC- FOLLOW UP TEXT- ACTS 15:36-41 INTRODUCTION The term follow up is scriptural and it is very important if we need a healthy, mature and established church. Follow up is likened to the mother-child relationship. A mother that gives birth to a child should stay close to the child and nuture him. Although we have follow-up department in the church, the work to follow up new believers is for every Christian. QUALITIES OF A GOOD FOLLOW UP CHRISTIAN WORKER POSSESS THE RIGHT PASSION- ACTS 15:36, ROM 15:24, PHIL 1:3-8, 1 THESS 3:5-10. Paul had a great concern for the welfare of the converts of their missionary journey. A soul winner needs to give more priority and attention to follow up converts until the babes in Christ are built up to be disciples. POSSESS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND APPROACH- 2 PETER 1:5-7, MATTHEW 5:14-16 The follow up worker must be natural and friendly. He must be very courteous. Keep to appointments. The follow up workers m...
