Advent Love

ONE THING: God sent Jesus to save, not condemn you or the world. John 3:16-19 CONTEXT: Jesus is real, He is alive and you have already responded to this truth. Why God gave His Son = love and eternal life, Emmanuel God with us. It is important as a Christian to remember we are loved by God and He set us free. SALVATION: Believe in Jesus and not perish and have eternal life. Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, 1 Cor.15:3-4 What does God want us to do with the free gift of salvation Jesus makes possible? It’s so simple, receive the gift, open the gift, enjoy the gift of saved by grace through faith. What is actually the condemner of our life right now? Sin of not believing in Jesus, only son of God. So how do we move from someone who loves darkness to someone who loves light? Have faith and deeds that are good. That bring God praise and credit and draw people closer to God. Worship: A Living Sacrifice Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Community: We must take every opportunity to help people move closer to becoming a Christian. Because they choose to not believe in Jesus they stand condemned. Be as Christlike as possible in word, thought and deed. Service: The way you sacrificially and generously love others helps their soul, which has become accustomed to the darkness, adjust to the light of Jesus' love and salvation. Multiplication: Shoulder tap others to join you in becoming more like Jesus. Invite them to your home, coffee, your home church, Bible Discussion group, for a walk or just hangout. Weave in the God's love through Jesus as you journey together.
