Send us Fan Mail When we trust Christ, the moment Christ comes to live inside of us, we are new and improved. We're really new and improved because Christ has come to live inside of us, right? So we've already talked about that in 2 Corinthians 5, 17, that we're a what? A new creation. Galatians 6.15 says for Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails anything but a new creation. Ezekiel 36 talks about a new heart. Ezekiel 18 talks about a new spirit. Psalm 40 says he's put a new song in our mouth. Revelation 2.17 says I will give him a white stone and on that stone a new name which no one knows except him who receives it. In Ephesians 4.24 it says that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness. So basically we've got a new heart. We're a new creation. We have a new song. We've got a new name. And we're a new man. We're a new person. So that is what God has done for us.

Send us Fan Mail The whole section from verse 1-14 tells us everything He does is to the praise of His glory. We see in this section today how to be saved. You hear, you trust in the Gospel and having believed you are sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day He comes back to get us. There are 5 great things that come with being Sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The sealing work of the Spirit is mentioned 2 other places in the Scripture, 2Corinthians 1:22 and Ephesians 4:30 1. A seal on a legal document means it is a finished contract or transaction You know what the seal means? We are not in the process of getting saved. When you put your faith in Jesus Christ God gave you the Holy Spirit and said - That is a finished transaction. 2. It means security and protection.. We are secure in Christ - Hebrews 6:19 3. Authenticity… It’ real, we are a genuine child of God - Ro 8:9 When God gives us His Holy Spirit He is saying this is an authentic child of the King. The only authentic Christian is the one who possesses the Holy Spirit, who’s sealed with a mark of authenticity. 4. Ownership…He owns us - 1Co 6:19-20 5. Authority and power - Read the the eighth chapter of Esther. Esther wanted the king to settle a certain issue. So she said, Okay, you make the edict, king, and you sign it with your seal and we'll carry it out. And so they're walking around with this letter from the king. And it's a sign of authority. Esther 3:8-15, We have His authority and power in our lives over sin, suffering, and temptation. The Authority to preach the Gospel and go in His name since He has sent us Mt. 28:20 In essence, the “deposit” of the Holy Spirit is a little bit of heaven in believers’ lives with a guarantee of much more yet to come. Who is The guarantee of our inheritance – The Holy Spirit – This means He will never leave us or forsake us Hebrews 13:5 Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

Send us Fan Mail Eph 1:8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, God has made his forgiveness abound to us because of His wisdom & foresight. He gives us knowledge of His mysteries, the things which were hidden in the Old Testament, such as in this case the Jew & Gentile becoming one in the church. He did this so he could reconcile everything back to himself as it was in the beginning of time. The Bible is the story of man being created, falling & God working throughout time to restore us to Him in the end. This does not suggest that everyone will be saved; instead, sin’s disorder will be removed & universal peace will be established (Isa. 2:2–4; 11:1–10). We also see that everything that God has will ultimately belong to us too because we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

Send us Fan Mail Think about Lazarus. Lazarus was dead. Jesus basically propels him out of the grave because I think he was wrapped like a mummy, you know, like they wrapped him. So he couldn't have really, he'd have been doing like this trying to get out of the grave, right? Trying to hop to get out of the grave. He couldn't have done that, but God propels him out of the grave. And when he comes out, what did he say? Loose him and let him go. Now think about Lazarus. He's been in the grave four days. You can imagine the heat out here today. It's going to be out there today. It's even hotter, I think, in Israel. Alright, four days worth of being in a grave. No embalming, no anything. I mean, you ride by a little old squirrel or a raccoon or something on the side of the road and you got your windows open or your vents open and it about knocks you down. You can imagine four days of a person. He says, take these old dirty, stinky grave clothes off of him. And he says, loose him and let him go. And when he says loose him and let him go, it's a picture of us being a slave to sin. We're dead. And when Jesus propels us out of the grave and we trust him, all of a sudden he lets us loose and we take off all those dirty, stinky sins that are a stench in the nostrils of a holy God. is what it's a picture of. That's what that's a picture of. Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

Send us Fan Mail Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace The first great act of redemption in the Old Testament is the exodus, the deliverance of the nation Israel from her bondage in Egypt. Redemption is an act of God by which He Himself pays as a ransom the price for sin which has outraged His holiness. It means to pay a price to free somebody from bondage. Every person in the world is a slave in their sinful state. No man is free. And to whom are they slaves? Who is the captor? John 8:34 says, "Men are slaves to sin." Romans 6:17 says, "Men are servants to sin." Romans 7:14; "Sold under sin." Romans 8:21; "In bondage to corruption." What is the captor of men? Sin. Sin demands a price to be paid to release its victim. The price or the wage of sin is death. So in order to purchase sinners from the grasp of sin there must be death. Hebrews 9:22 The soul that sinneth, the Old Testament says, it shall die. All right, the wages or the price of sin is death. Jesus paid the price to set us free. We have been set free from the law - Galatians chapter 5:1 Set free from slavery to sin Rom 6:6 Set free from the power of Satan and the world Gal 1:4 Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

Send us Fan Mail And you know what we do so many times? We live in between them. You remember what the Israelites did when they left Egypt? They wanted to go back to Egypt instead of going to the promised land. Because the promised land, remember, it's work to trust Christ. It's hard to trust Him every day to put the sin away and live for God in a sense. But you know what? It's easier to do that because God gives you the power if you would trust in Him. than it is to go back and live in Egypt and live the old way.

In this section we see that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. What are these blessings? The first 3 chapters describe all of them. We will talk about three of those blessings today. First we have been chosen by God so that He could make us holy and without blame, next we have been adopted as sons and have become part of the family of God, and lastly we have been accepted in Jesus Christ the Beloved because of what He did on the cross. To be accepted means we now are approved of by God. Before we were sinners not able to come into His presence and now we can because we are now saints in the eyes of God because Jesus blood shed on the cross took away all of our sins.

Send a text George Sweeting wrote, It is a fearful thing that people can be consumed by their own lust. Only God's grace keeps us from the wolf's fate. Only God's grace keeps us from doing to ourselves what that wolf does to himself. I think about the sharks, you know, they go crazy when they get in the water, right? And they attack them. Anybody like to watch Shark Week? I always like to watch that. But those sharks, man, when they smell that blood, they attack anything. And they literally roll their eyelids back and they're blind because they can't see. And they just attack anything and everything around them. Sometimes they hurt themselves or they destroy, they bite other animals or whatever's in their way. Bust up cages or get stuck in cages or who knows what they do. They're so big and powerful they're hard to be hurt. But they bite each other and attack anything that gets in their way. And that's what happens to people when they don't know Christ. When they live for themselves, they attack anything and everything around them.

All things through Christ who strengthens me. 2 Corinthians 12, he said when I am weak, I am strong, right? Because why? Christ's power dwells in me. There's so many other places. Philippians 2.12, he talks about that. I was just trying to remember that verse this morning because my pastor quoted it yesterday, but he said, he talks about, you know, that it is work out your own salvation with fear and trembling because it is God who wills to do of his good pleasure, right? And over and over and over again, Ephesians 3.20 says that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think according to His power that works in us. We've got Holy Spirit power. We've got God's power living inside of us.

Send a text I remember the story, what was it, about one of the future queen of England or something? They never did tell her that she was going to be the Queen of England because they were worried if they told her who she was that she would begin acting up and acting out because of who she was. And the one person decided to tell her who she was and she says, now that I know who I am, now I will live that out. And that's the Christian life. That's what we're supposed to do once we know who we are. The Bible says that we're called what? Christians if we know Christ. That means little Christ. It means we live like Christ, right? And so for a person to say they know Christ and to live like the devil, that gives God a bad reputation.

Send a text Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. So the old man, the old person was crucified. The way it really talks about here, he says the old man was crucified that the body of sin might be done away with. And in verse 6 it really says the old self was crucified so that we might not be controlled by sin. And this word crucified or died is the word that doesn't mean annihilated. It just means it's rendered inactive. It's made of no effect. In other words, we don't have to obey it.
