Title: Instant death
Contents
1. If you have true faith in God, live your life according to it. : Do you believe in God? Yes! Fruit.
“My brethren, what profit is it if a man says he has faith and has no works? can faith save him?” (James 2:14).
“He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly made perfect in him, that we are in him. know that” (1 John 2:4-5)
1) Do not separate faith and life. : Think about yourself.
The separation of belief and life is because belief is formalized.
* The worst thing for believers is the continuity of faith and life.
* Many believers try to distinguish between the inside and outside of the church.
* The saints limit God's realm and limit God's activities.
* Just as we are angry when we do not acknowledge ourselves, so does God.
* David's righteousness was an acknowledgment of God in all areas of his life.
“O LORD, you have searched and knew me; You know when I sit and when I rise; You know my thoughts from afar; You see my way and my lying down; You are familiar with all my actions. You put your hands around me and laid your hands on me. This knowledge is too marvelous for me; it is too high for me to reach. Where shall I go from Your Spirit, and where shall I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; I make my place in Hades Yet you are there” (Psalm 139:1-8).
- God's wrath and judgment against Israel is because they imprisoned God in the temple.
* God had no choice but to destroy the temple where they kept Him. : prove yourself
* Neither should we confine God to a specific time and place.
* As a way of life “This is a safe place that God does not know.” Don't do it.
2) God is our source, foundation, and foundation of life. : Everything is given.
- In God is our life (given), the way (suggested), and the truth (all principles).
* Believing in God the Creator is in itself an acknowledgment of all of this.
* God created us and we live in His will to deal with the world.
* To leave it is to lose the meaning of life and lose its value.
(Ecclesiastes 1:2-4) “Vanity and vanity, vanity and vanity, all things are in vain, and what profit is a man to all his toil under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth endures forever.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2-4)
* A person who obeyed God realized that it was futile to live apart from God at one time.
(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Now that you have heard of the end of things, fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's duty, and God will judge every deed and every secret thing, whether good or evil.
2. We conclude the sermon title on the premise that we believe all these things.
1) What is personality? : It is a classy quality (good or low level) that a person has
- It is the character of a special creature given by God. : personal existence
* All creation has value according to the character God has bestowed upon each of them.
* Except for the given dignity, everyone becomes the same without any difference.
* A person's personality is a more special endowment.
* Being endowed with a part of God's character (essence) to become a human character.
* Man was a holy being as a person in the image of God.
- Man loses such holiness and becomes corrupt by rebelling against God
(Jeremiah 17:9) “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.”
(Matthew 15:11) “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth defiles a person.”
- God is pleased to restore what has been lost and achieve His holy character. : true life
* For that reason, He sent Jesus Christ to make the believers a holy people. : Identity
(1 Corinthians 6:11) “There were such among you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”
* We are those who have given up on our old self because we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and receive (receive) into us.
(Galatians 2:20) “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh is faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. to live in.”
* Life entered into the dead and became the living.
* The value of our life is only in Jesus Christ.
* Abandoning myself (all my desires, values outside the Lord) and filling it with God's.
* In other words, when you deny yourself and acknowledge the Lord, and live your life in it, you have the value of life.
* I die, but Christ lives in me.
(1 Corinthians 15:31) “By the boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, brethren, I affirm that I die daily.”
? What if you believe and follow the Lord?
* Let us all fulfill our duty as believers by filling us with the person (teaching) of Christ.
* Don't separate faith and life, and let's build a character like Jesus Christ. This is faith.
