Remember: Whose You Are!

SLIDE:  REMEMBER:  God’s LOVE for YOU in JESUS!

Point!  Rebecca sings:  I am A CHILD of GOD!

SLIDE:  Romans 5:8  But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

He loved me “Until” … (Music Stand)

2 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years, 2 decades

Me = Selfishness and Sin, Darkness, Selfishness, chaos, dysfunction

Christ =  Sacrificial – Love  dying of the Cross, Displaying love, healing and wholeness

Seriousness of my sin!

While I was doing x sin Jesus did WHAT?

Heart pains…  Surgery!

All “pretty”

All Bow-Tied  best behavior

God’s love to me =  what saves me!

A GIFT!

Can’t work for it…  How would I know when it is enough?

I would get proud and full of myself.

SLIDE:  Ephesians 2:8-9 

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.    Pg. 947

Grace  = unmerited favor.

HIS LOVE SAVED you!   At your WORST!

SLIDE:  Galatians 3 

 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?   Pg. 944

Have you forgotten?  =  Remember!

When I “do stuff that is bad”  =  God loves me less!

When I  “do stuff that is good”  =  God loves me more!

Gotta do Good Stuff for God to love me!

EITHER – OR!

:2 Receive it (Grace)   OR   work for it!

:3 You started… finish another way?

Remember! 

SLIDE:  Romans 8:38-39 

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.    Pg. 916

SLIDE:  REMEMBER:  God’s LOVE for YOU in JESUS!

When you KNOW your loved!

Especially the LOVE OF GOD in Christ.

I can do ALL things through Christ you strengthens me!
