Living The Christian Life – Difficult, No, Impossible
If you have been a Christian for very long, you have likely discovered that trying to live the Christian life is not easy. It seems there is always one more thing you should be doing or something you must stop doing.
Completely Forgiven Once and For All – Part 2
“Do you know how hard it is to remember every sin you commit? I’ll tell you. It’s impossible!”
Completely Forgiven Once and For All – Part 1
“Your sins are NOT forgiven by your good behavior, asking for forgiveness, or confessing your sin.”
6 – Righteousness in Christ
“Because Christians have their sin debt paid for by the blood/death of Jesus, they are declared not guilty (justified) and are therefore, made righteous. Our righteousness and justification are not based on anything we do. They are a gift from God.”
5 – Inheritance in Christ
“We will be in the presence of Almighty God forever. We will be united with Jesus forever.”
4 – Reconciliation
Did you know that you were born with an enemy? The Bible tells us that we were all enemies with God. And furthermore, we were hostile toward him, and alienated from him because of our sin.
3 – Redemption
“We know that sin and death entered the world through Adam and spread to all mankind, thus, all were made sinners. As a result, we are all born in bondage to sin!”
2 – Forgiveness
“I was taught for much of my Christian life that in order to stay right with God, I must ask God to forgive me each time I sinned. And so I tried to keep a mental list of all my sins so I could ask God to forgive me for each one. Do you know how hard it is to remember every sin you commit?”
1 – Eternal Life
“When a person receives Christ by faith, they are immediately baptized into Christ’s death, burial and resurrection (a spiritual baptism). The bible refers to those folks as being “in Christ”, i.e., in union with Christ. This is a permanent union in which Christ’s spirit is joined with our human spirit and Christ becomes our new life.”
