Service 4

ill make this quick:

service 4 - 3 things about Jesus

-col 3:3
-Jesus is not just your savior, friend and Lord, He is your LIFE! -> without Him u are nothing, but with Him you can do ALL things and are totally DEPENDENT on Him.
-We may be called children of God but we are definitely NOT CHILDISH, we grow and mature as a believer.

1) Jesus' death is our SALVATION

-we are not cursed, but BLESSED. -> we dont have to worry if ppl curse us, bcos every curse flies past us who are blessed by God Himself. Who can curse what God has blessed?
-Humility is all about coming to the Lord

-We can never fix our own mess, or fix a mess ourselves...RUN TO HIM! Hes not just a comforter, one who encourages, but Hes our Savior, one who SAVES! Hes our redeemer, one who REDEEMS.
-Heb 4:16
-We can all FREELY RECEIVE from God and come BOLDLY before God.
-Therefore Heaven is NOT closed above you!

2) Jesus' life is our EXAMPLE

-1 pet 2:21, mt 11:28-30
-The cross is BOTH redemption as well as an EXAMPLE.
-Learn to LEARN from Jesus. Before you do anything, THINK! If God were in your position what would He do?
-Jesus was flexible.
-If you rely on yourself or try to fix things yourself, ull find it very hard. because in everything that we do, glory belongs to God. and that glory was MEANT for God to carry, not you.

<3) His glory is my LIFE

-2 cor 3:18, 11:2
-Be heavenly and Kingdom minded!
-His glory is His personality, and as we accept Him into our hearts, our personality should be that of Jesus, or at least, more and more like Him each day.
-As we decrease, He increase
-Be stewards. Dont love God's blessings, miracles, etc. MORE than God! Just like a child receive a present frm his daddy, if the child pays all e attention on e gift and not e father, the father would be upset
