Sermon text: John 10:10.
Sermon Topic: How Can We Save People?
* We often hear ambulances or fire trucks sound emergency alerts,
You will see them running to save people with the Jang.
* However, in some cases, people hate people in the emergency room at the right time to live, and the fire is put on at the right time.
Turn it off and save people. However, in some cases, you arrive at the emergency room too late, or
Sometimes fire trucks arrive at the scene of a fire too late, resulting in the loss of precious lives.
* So, saving people is more important than anything else, and it has to be done in a hurry.
Even though you know that, isn't saving people neglected?
1. First, we need to bring people back to life from spiritually dead.
1. People are spiritually dead.
1) Because of their trespasses and sins, people have turned away from the life of God and are dead without the life of God.
All. “You who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1), “He who does not have the Son of God has no life.
D" (1 John 5:12),
2) "Have departed from the life of God" (Ephesians 4:18),
3) "He who loves pleasure is alive, but he is dead" (1 Timothy 5:6)
4) "You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead" (Revelation 3:1)
2. How can we raise a spiritually dead person?
1) Since the cause of death is sin, the problem of sin must be resolved.
2) As the solution, God gave His only sinless Son, Jesus, to bear our transgressions and sins in our place.
He was nailed to death. (John 1:29)
3) Next, the solution is to raise Jesus from the dead to raise dead sinners.
He has risen. (Romans 6:5)
4) Now I am a sinner because Jesus Christ died for me on the cross.
Realizing that he was resurrected from the dead on the third day, he turned away from his sins, repented, and
You must believe in Jesus Christ. In this way, the soul of the woman who was dead because of sin comes to life.
(Acts 3:19) (Acts 16:31) (Romans 1:16).
5) Evangelism is to tell people who do not know this fact.
Sharing this fact is called missionary work. Evangelism to save dead souls
We must be diligent and actively involved.
6) In (Numbers chapter 21), the Israelites were bitten by a lizard and died while testing God.
At this time, God had Moses make a bronze snake and put it on a pole
Those who look at the bronze serpent will live. But believing the word and looking at the bronze serpent
People came to life, but all those who disbelieved the word and did not look at it died.
* Here the brass serpent on a pole represents Jesus Christ, who was crucified to save us
symbolize. Even now, those who look to Jesus Christ with faith are spiritually dead.
comes alive.
2. In life, there is not only eternal life, which is the life of God, but also the life of the body.
1. However, not only eternal life but also physical life is given by God.
1) “God formed man out of dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.
D" (Genesis 2:7)
2) So, “Our years are seventy, and if we are strong, we are eighty” (Psalm 90:10) The life of the flesh is also God.
It is what you give to us and we live.
3) Although the life of the body is short, it is very precious because it is a one-time life that is not given again.
will be It is a life that should never be wasted in vain.
4) So the hymn writer wrote this. "I saved you when you passed by a fast, never-going sound
Dedicate your time and let it be the sunlight Help me, Lord, as the years pass without wasting the sun when the dark world passes
Let it shine"
2. And because our body is a temple where Hananimi dwells, it must be managed well and presented to the Lord.
do. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
1) It is the body that God paid for and purchased. Because in the beginning God created us
We are God's, and we were sold to sin and Satan by paying our only begotten Son Jesus.
It was bought again by me.
2) God made his dwelling place in us whom he bought with a price and came to dwell in us. therefore u
Lee is the temple where God dwells. Now our bodies are not mine, but God's.
3) A body to be used for God's will and purpose, not a body that we can use as we please
is.
3. Therefore, by being pessimistic about the life of our bodies or even committing suicide, we
It's even worse if you take your own life.
1) Due to rapid changes in the social environment and a feeling of loss that does not reach the level
Others are trying to commit suicide (ie, end their own life).
2) According to a 2007 monthly ministry and theology survey, the suicide rate has risen sharply since 2001.
In 2003, it ranked 4th among OECD countries and continued to commit suicide after 2004.
It is the reality of our society that we are ranked No.
3) Among them, the suicide rate in their 30s and 50s accounts for 50% of the total.
4) When looking at the causes of suicide in men and women, men often committed suicide by impulse, and women with depression
It was often due to
4. How can these suicides and suicide attempts be prevented?
1) First, you need to have loving support and interest in people who have such a possibility.
2) That loving approach should be gentle and warm. At the same time, to demands contrary to truth and hope
must be able to hold his position firmly with the determination to not be submissive.
3) If possible, invite such a person to a small group (small group) to create a sense of connection and belonging.
You have to let them discover their value.
4) And we need to remind people how precious the meaning of human life is.
(Ecclesiastes 9:4) "There is hope for those who participate among the living, for a living dog is better than a dead lion."
5) And let us see ourselves from God's point of view so that we can have spiritual recovery and positive thinking
You should do it. When God sees us, He gave us His only begotten Son and made us a living being.
You value it. Pastor Robert Schuller in his book "Nothing is Impossible"
I encourage you to live a positive life. (Philippians 4:13)
can do"
6) And have confidence and experience in God's saving grace, love, care, and provision.
You have to lock it.
* Among Christians, there are many testimonies of those who went to the brink of suicide and then recovered.
3. Jesus came that you might have life and have it more abundantly
(John 10:10)
1. The Christian life should be abundant.
1) Like “a tree planted by streams of water” in Psalm 1, its leaf does not wither and grows
There must be an abundance of thread-bearing.
2) By seeking first his kingdom and his righteousness, there must be an abundance to which all these are added.
c (Matthew 6:33).
3) As Psalm 92:12-14 says, “It will multiply like a palm tree, grow like a cedar, grow old,
It should be fruitful, rich in sap, and lush in light.
4) (Gen 49:22) As the saying goes, “Joseph is a lush branch, a lush branch by a spring, whose branches are fences.
It must be like "I have crossed over".
2. How is such an abundant life possible?
1) First, you must become a tree that you spiritually plant by the stream.
2) The Lord is our fountain of water of life. And the Word of God is rich in revitalizing the soul.
It is water of grace. The riches of a Christian are either apart from Christ or the word of life.
Without it, you can never expect fruit and abundance.
3) Passive means not to stand on the path of sinners. It is not being arrogant.
But actively longing for the Word and meditating on it day and night.
4) And only the righteous live by faith.
Accepting without heart, righteousness: complete faith is completely relying on what you know and accept.

5) Look at Caleb. He was forty years old when he spyed out by faith in the land of Canaan from Kadesh-Barnea.
Later, he entered the land of Canaan with Joshua, and even though he was 85 years old,
At this time, his splendor was like a young man, and he asked me to give him the hill country of Hebron.
In the end, the land was acquired as an inheritance. It was the result of believing and trusting the word of God.
is.
* For ourselves and for others, we must always save people and live an abundant life.
