Well today's message is all about who you say
I am. Today's main scripture is Galatians 2 verse
20. It says The life I now live in the flesh,
I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me
and gave himself for me. Christ is love. He died
for us so that we can live in faith knowing that...
we have Christ. And we also have to remember
John 3 verse 16, for God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son, for whoever believes
in him shall not perish but have everlasting
life. Our second scripture is 2 Corinthians 5
verse 21. God made him who had no sin to be sin
for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness
of God. So God wanted to restore mankind to himself
so that we can come before him without any barriers,
without a prophet, without a priest, without
going to the altar and sacrificing dogs. And
how did he do that? He sent Jesus to atone for
our sins and also to free us from the bondage
of sin. What God did was that he sent Jesus on
earth so that he could pay for our sins, the
penalty, that we may find life in Jesus and have
the Holy Spirit within us to dwell among us and
anchor us in this Christian walk so that we can
live righteously and we can come before God without
any barriers or any obstacles. Our third scripture
is John 14 verse six. It says, Jesus told him,
I am the way, the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me. We also
have to understand no one can come to God except
through Jesus Christ. So he is, Jesus is the
only way to God and to get to heaven and he is
the life because he alone makes us a new creation.
So that is why Jesus is the only source. He is
that bridge. So our points today are one, loving
God. God loved us so much to die for us. And
in Christ, we can come before God without any
sin or blemishes in our hearts. Number two, a
willing God. God was so willing to restore mankind
to himself to give up himself, his only son to
die in our place. Number three, the source. Jesus
is the only way the factual truth and the everlasting
life and that is the gospel truth my friend There
is only one way to God and that is through Jesus
Christ So when someone asks you who is Christ
we can say he is the great I am Who was willing
to lay down his life for us? So now we can come
before God pure and clean in his sight so If
you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,
then this message will help you. But if you don't
have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,
then I invite you to give your heart to the Lord
today. To receive him into your heart, go to
Romans 10, nine through 10. It says that if you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe
in your heart that God has raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one
believes unto righteousness and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. If you said
this prayer with sincerity, you are saved and
now have eternal life with Jesus. You are saved
from all your sins. past, present, and future
sins you may commit. This truth is not a free
pass to sin anytime. Instead, Jesus gives you
power over all wrong choices and empowers you
to spread the gospel to others. You are saved
forever and your name is written in the book
of life!
