Title: New Life / Ezekiel 37:11-14
Contents
The last days of the month are Holy Week and Easter Sunday.
Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave on the third day, because we died in our sins and had no hope.
This is so that you may become a person of eternal life who lives with hope.
This grace of suffering and resurrection is given to us by the Holy Spirit so that we can live a new life.
is to give
Everything in this world does not give us hope, only despairs, and only makes us die.
1. A life without hope.
Verse 11 "And he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the house of Israel; they say, Our
The bones have dried up, and our hope is gone."
1) Man has lost hope because of sin.
Ephesians 2:1 "He made you, who were dead in your trespasses and sins,"
Sin, in turning away from God and making him an enemy, has taken away hope from man.
2) Because people die, they are hopeless.
The penalty for sin is death, which kills people of any age, so they do not have hope.
3) A person is a hopeless being whose food, drink, and possessions only cause suffering.
Since sin entered the world, all things are cursed, and everything that exists in the world, tangible and intangible, is human.
Even if it seems to benefit them for a while, it causes pain and drives them to the corpse.
2. The life given by the Word. Verses 12 and 13.
1) As recorded in Genesis 1, He was created just as He said.
John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
and he was with God in the beginning, and through him all things were made
Nothing was made without him.”
We are people who were born into this world as predestined in the Word. But while living under sin
was a child of wrath and one who was under the power of death.
2) As in Ezekiel 37:4-11, when the word of God comes, the dry bones come to life and the breath enters.
They survived and became the great army of the Lord.
Beings without hope gained life through the word and became the army of Jehovah, the saints who received new life.
to be.
3) As in verses 12 and 13 of the text, God brought the Israelites out of the tomb called Babylon.
He said, “You will know that I am the Lord,” because he will lead them to the land of Israel to live.
God is the Word of God to come out of a world without hope and live toward a country with hope.
made him human
The story of a 'longevity' who died after believing in Jesus through the website of Gangnam Church
- He got to know Jesus through the church website for a while and passed the entrance exam and died shortly thereafter.
“I am so happy right now. It seems that I have just found the true meaning of life.
I am very grateful to Jesus for being there.” He wrote in his diary. He found and found true hope.
Therefore, he went to the One who gave thanks and gave hope.
3. The life of the Holy Spirit.
Verse 14, “And I will put my Spirit within you, that you may live, and I will make you dwell in your own land.
and you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken and accomplished these things, saith the Lord.”
1) God gives the Holy Spirit to those who are dead in sin so that they become alive.
Romans 8:11 "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, you
Your mortal body will also be saved through his Spirit who dwells in you by him who raised him from the dead.
will save you."
In this way, we became people of resurrection with the life of resurrection.
2) God makes those who live by the Holy Spirit live in the land God has given them.
A person of resurrection lives a life that God protects and protects, and a new life of hope
will buy
3) Therefore, those who live by the Holy Spirit will know and serve God and live.
Those who are resurrected, who are alive by the Holy Spirit, know, love, and serve God because the Holy Spirit reigns in them.

[Conclusion] We are hopeless beings. In other words, he was dead.
But, having been saved through Jesus Christ, you are now living by the Holy Spirit, a person of new life.
It was.
Therefore, the hopeless became hopeful, and the dying became the living.
God saved us, who were like dry bones, so that we can live with hope.
That is why we must know, love, serve, and obey God rightly.
The man of sin dies and becomes alive through the Holy Spirit, and the man of new life lives according to the commands of the Holy Spirit.
let's be
Believing and thankful that you have become those who live the new life that the Holy Spirit insists on, and you are in Jesus Christ.
May you become a person of resurrection full of joy and happiness running toward hope in the name of the Lord.
Congratulations.
