TOPIC: GODS LOVE

John 3:16 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. I. The Holy Scriptures tells us that God loves us, but what do we really knows about Gods love? So as to be able to say whether or not we are truly experiencing it in our daily life? II. What kind of love does God have for us? HUMAN LOVE- Reciprocal, conditional, temporaryI love you if GODS LOVE- unconditional, eternal, everlasting AGAPE AGAPE ONE WAY Giving without receiving - CONSTANT- Does not change - EVERLASTING- No ends

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT GOD LOVES US?

IT IS BY HIS PLAN IN GENESIS- Genesis1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that move on the ground. Genesis 1:29 Then God said, I give you every seedbearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. Genesis 1:30 and to all the beast of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground everything that has the breath of life in it- I give every green plant for food. And it was so. Genesis 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morningthe sixth day.

GOD IS A PERFECT BEING

HE HAS EVERYTHING AND DOES NOT NEED ANYTHING. WHY? He is perfect, infinite, Alpha and Omega- the beginning and the end MAN created by God in his own image- perfect being- with intellect (to know)- free will (to decide)

GIVE ILLUSTRATION: THE PERFECTION OF MAN that God created, the part of the body is perfect in creation. WHY WE ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THIS KIND OF LIFE TODAY? The Bible says in John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. GOD- GAVE CONDITION TO MAN- Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat of it you will surely die.

THE FALL OF MAN

Man disobeyed the conditions of God and the result are: self-centeredness selfishness, pride, carnal

RESULTED OF: Spiritual death, physical death, sickness, problems DUE TO MANS AUTHORITY SURRENDERED TO SATAN,AND GODS PLAN DISRUPTED. BUT GOD DID NOT STOP BECAUSE HE LOVED US SO MUCH: John 3:16 He gave the fruit of his love he is JESUS CHRIST

THE FRUIT OF HIS LOVE JOHN 3:16

FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD- Gods love is wide enough to embrace all person1TIMOTHY 2:4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of truth. HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON- His Son as an offering for our sin on the cross, this is the atonement proceeds from the loving heart of God.- ROMANS 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM1)A sure Conviction that JESUS CHRIST is Gods Son and the only Savior of humanity, 2) Self Surrendering fellowship with obedience to CHRIST, 3) Trust in CHRIST that is both able and willing to bring you to final salvation.

. SHALL NOT PERISH- Points not to physical death but to dreadful reality of eternal punishment MATTHEW 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the ONE who can destroy both soul and body in hell. . BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE- the gift that God bestow on us when we received JESUS CHRIST. . CONCLUSION- HOW GOD LOVED US PERSONAL SHARING

TOPIC II SALVATION

COLOSSIANS 1:13-14 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. In John 3:16.. Said those who believes will not perish, but have Eternal life= it means to save us in the punishment and to receive eternal life. SALVATION = Not only means going to heaven, but it is a whole new way of life on earth as well as enable man to participate in Gods plan, and to have personal relationship with God and to live a full and happy life. IN WHAT OUR GOD WANT US TO SAVE? 1. IN THE POWER OF SIN- ROMANS 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. 2. IN THE PRESENCE OR BONDAGE OF SIN- John 8:34-35 Jesus replied, I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 3. IN THE PENALTY OF SIN- ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

THE FALL OF MAN & THE REBELLION AGAINST GOD

It was the reason why the great plan of God for mankind disrupted, and brought about: 1. sickness & diseases 2. physical & spiritual death 3. famine & hunger 4. war & sufferings IT WAS SATAN PLAN- JOHN 10:10.. To steal, kill & destroy

BUT GODS PLAN- IS LIFE & HAVE IT TO THE FULL.

MANS ANSWER: Education, Science, technology, politics, militarization, different forms of religion develop by men

BUT NONE OF THESE MAN MADE PLANS CAN SAVE US. 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.
THATS WHY GOD SAID IN ZECHARIAH 4:6..NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER , BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD ALMIGHTY.

GODS ANSWER COLOSSIANS 1:13-14

HE RESCUED US- means delivered us from dominion of darknessthe power of Satan BROUGHT US- into the kingdom of the Son he loves-JESUS CHRIST ROMANS 5:18-19 Consequently, just us the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

. ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST- OUR SALVATION LUKE 1:69 He has raised up horn of salvation for us in the house of David LUKE 2:30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, ACTS 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

CONDITIONS OF SALVATION

ROMANS 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ROMANS 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. REMEMBER THAT JESUS CHRIST OFFERED HIS LIFE ON THE CROSS. 1 PETER 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. ISAIAH 53: 4-9 PLEASE READ ILLUSTRATION- MOTHER & SON IN CHURCH PERSONAL SHARING- HOW GOD SAVE MY LIFE

TOPIC: NEW LIFE

John 10:10= The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. I. What does new life means?= Because God loves us, He does not only want us to know Him, but want us to have an intimate personal relationship with him. New Life= is the fundamental teaching in our Christian life. It means New Birth or Regeneration- John 3:3 ..I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. Why? Because life is Spirit- it means to change our inner heart, or Spiritual Re-birth. Ezekiel 11:19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 11:20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 11:21 But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols, I will bring down on their own heads what they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.

!!. HOW THIS NEW LIFE POSSIBLE IN OUR LIVES TODAY?

2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! V-18 All this is from God, Anyone is In Christ Not Out Christ he is a new creation. III. GODS PROMISED? He is a new creation- means to have a new life or new spirit Matthew 9:16-17 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. V-17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved. This is through the creative command of God. 2 Cor.4:6 For God, Who said Let light shine out of darkness, made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. Those who accept Jesus Christ by faith are made new creation that belongs to God which the Spirit rules." Romans 8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Ephesians 2:10 For we are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, Which God prepared in advance for us to do.

1V. BY ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST IN FAITH AND BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT PERSONS BECOMES:
1. New creation or new person- Galatians 6:15neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation. Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 2. Renewed after Gods Image- 2Cor.4:16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 1Cor. 15:49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. Ephesians 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its works. New life- Love- Interest- Future, Enjoyment 3. New understanding not conforming to the world- !John 2:15-17 4. Living a Life of Holiness- Ephesians 4: 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 5. New Destiny Heaven- Philippians 3:19-20Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. From Satan- to God Jesus Power of Satan to Power of God From Evil spirit to Holy Spirit Thats why the Bible said in 2Cor.5:17 PERSONAL SHARING
