    The Gospel 10: Die in Christ to Experience Resurrection

    Living Hope,Community Church,Sunday service,Bible,Yahewh,God,Jesus,scripture,Gospel,resurrection,made new,Romans Christian believers share in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, which sets them free from the power of sin. But following Jesus requires giving up our old, selfish ways, much like a seed that must die to grow and produce fruit. Because sin is no longer our master, we can now live a brand-new life dedicated to God and have the hope of resurrection life in the age to come. Romans 6:1–4 Through our union with Christ, we share in his death. But we also share in his resurrection from the dead, so that we can walk in a completely new way of life. John 12:24–25 Jesus compares the life of being his disciple to a seed that must fall into the ground and die before it can grow and produce fruit. Romans 6:5–7 The promise we have is that since we have been united with Christ in his death, we will also share in his resurrected life. Our old self was crucified with him on the cross so that sin would no longer rule over us. Matthew 16:24–25 Following Jesus requires self-denial, taking up our cross, and surrendering our right to live our own way and for ourselves. Romans 6:8–11 Because Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again, we will one day also live with him. Galatians 2:20 The Christian life is not centered on the old self; our new life is to be lived by trusting in the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. Romans 6:12–14 Because sin is no longer our master, we should not allow it to rule our bodies or direct our choices. Instead, we are to offer ourselves to God as people who have been brought from death to life—free from the tyranny and dominion of sin.

    The Gospel 9: Follow Christ and Experience Transformation

    Jesus’s teachings are not merely suggestions for success, but the very words of God that will enable you to live a better life. Learning Jesus’s teachings and imitating his example will transform your life. Deuteronomy 18:18 Moses prophesied that God would raise up another prophet like him. John 1:19-21; 6:14; 7:37-38, 40  John the Baptist denied that he was “the prophet.” People wondered if Jesus was the prophet. Over time, some came to believe that he was. John 8:25-29; 12:44-50 Jesus claimed to speak as the Father instructed him and do what was pleasing to him. Thus, Jesus not only claimed to be “the prophet” in word, but also in deed. In fact, Jesus never sinned (2 Cor 5:21; Heb 4:15; 1 Pet 2:22; 1 John 3:5). Some Teachings of Jesus Matthew 6:12-15; 18:21-35 Forgive those who have harmed you Matthew 5:23-24, 43-48 Love your enemies; reconcile with those who are angry at you Acts 20:35 It is more blessed to give than to receive Matthew 15:36; 26:27; John 6:23; 11:41 Practice gratitude Mark 12:31; John 13:34-35 Love one another as Jesus loved the disciples Matthew 6:10-24; Luke 6:15-21 Don’t live for your possessions Matthew 23:12 Humble yourself; don’t exalt yourself John 4:34; 6:38; Matthew 6:33; 7:21 Your purpose is to do God’s will Following Christ will produce transformation in your life, leading to human flourishing.

    The Gospel 8: Surrender to Christ to Experience New Birth

    Believing “in” Jesus not “about” him is required to be born again. We must surrender to his lordship in our lives to enter the Kingdom of God. John 2:23-25 The intention of miracles was to point people to Jesus, not just to merely impress them. John 3:1-10 Nicodemus was a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews, perhaps Sanhedrin. He was interested and seemingly humble. John 3:3 Being impressed with Jesus’ actions is not enough to enter the kingdom. Verse 5 – “born of water” can be understood two ways that are both accurate – 1) water refers to amniotic fluid with physical birth and 2) water that cleanses. Ezekiel 36:25-27 …cleanse from all your filthiness. Based on context from vs 4 and 10, could be both. Titus 3:5 John 3:8 “wind” comes from the Greek pneuma, also translated spirit and breath. All three cannot be seen, but the effects can be felt and seen. 2 Corinthians 5:17 We are new creations since we have been born again. Ezekiel 37:1-14 Numbers 21:6-9 John 3:15-18 “believes in Him” is not the same as believing about him. Nicodemus’ progression of faith (John 3): unsure who Jesus was – John 7: defends Jesus and John 19:39: buries Jesus, thereby identifying with Jesus in public. 1 Peter 1:3-19, 22-25 If you want to experience the new birth, you must have faith in him. Romans 10:9-10 The post The Gospel 8: Surrender to Christ to Experience New Birth first appeared on Living Hope.

    The Gospel 7: Jesus is Coming Again

    Luke 19:11-15 Before answering why Jesus is coming back, we can first ask why he left in the first place. As it turns out, Jesus told a parable about this. He explained that he had to go away to receive royal power and then return to rule the world. Reasons Jesus Is Coming Back Matthew 25:31-34                      Judge the nations 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8               Judge the antichrist Matthew 16:27                           Repay each person for what they’ve done Acts 3:19-21                              Bring universal restoration 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18           Resurrect the dead in Christ Matthew 24:27-31                     Gather the saints together 1 Peter 5:4; 2 Tim 4:6-8            Give the saints crowns 1 Peter 4:13                              Bring joy when his glory is revealed Revelation 2:25-28                   Give the saints authority to rule Daniel 2:31-40, 44 Nebuchadnezzar’s dream reveals God’s plan to replace the kingdom of this world with his own global kingdom. Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14, 17-18, 27 Daniel’s dream shows how God will give this authority to the Son of Man to rule over the nations of the world forever. The people of the holy ones of the Most High will receive this eternal kingdom. The post The Gospel 7: Jesus is Coming Again first appeared on Living Hope.

    The Gospel 6: Jesus, Resurrected Messiah

    The Old Testament set clear expectations for what the Messiah would do. Although Jesus did not fulfil many of these expectations, we have good reason to believe he will when he returns because of his resurrection from the dead. The messianic prophecies of the Old Testament set our expectations for what the Messiah will do. 1.      He will righteously rule over the kingdom of Judah forever from Zion (1 Chron 17:12, 14; Jer 23:5; Dan 7:14; Mic 5:2; Zech 9:9; Ps 2:6; 110:2). 2.      He will descend from Israel, Judah, Jesse, David, and Bethlehem (Num 24:17; Gen 49:10; Isa 11:1; 1 Chron 17:11; Jer 23:5; Mic 5:2). 3.      He will bring lasting peace, safety, and care for the people (Jer 23:6; Mic 5:4-5; Zech 9:10; Ps 72:7). 4.      He will judge the people fairly and execute justice, especially for the needy (Isa 11:4-5; Jer 23:5; Ps 72:2, 4, 12-14). 5.      He will have dominion to the ends of the earth, even over the nations (Dan 7:14; Zech 9:10; Ps 2:8-9; Ps 72:8-11). 6.      He will bring abundance of grain and fruit and prosperity for the people (Ps 72:3, 6, 15-16). 7.      He will be famous and renowned to the ends of the earth (Isa 11:10; Mic 5:4; Ps 72:17). 8.      He will be a son to God and God will be a father to him (1 Chron 17:13; Ps 2:7). Jesus’s ministry was full of messianic activity, including preaching about the kingdom of God, teaching people how to live in the kingdom, healing the sick, raising the dead, and restoring outcasts back to God. However, his most direct messianic claim occurred when he rode a donkey into Jerusalem at his triumphal entry. Although his crucifixion publicly undermined his messianic claim, his resurrection was how God vindicated him as the true Messiah. Thus, we look for his return to fulfill what remains of his messianic destiny.

    The Gospel 5: Jesus Died for Your Sins

    “Atonement” is defined as “reparation for an offense” and it repairs a broken relationship between two parties by offering a payment to make right that which is wrong. In the Old Testament, God’s people offered sacrifices to God through the rituals of Passover, the sin offering, and the Day of Atonement. These observances were prophetic, pointing towards Jesus Christ who offered his life as the ultimate atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). 1 John 2:2 – “Atonement” is defined as “reparation for an offense or injury.” Atonement repairs a broken relationship between two parties by offering a payment to make right that which is wrong. Exodus 12:3-13 – The blood of the Passover lamb saved God’s people from death. Leviticus 4:27-31 – Requiring sacrifice helped deter people from sinning. When a person did sin, God graciously accepted a “sin offering” so the sinner would not die. Leviticus 16:1-10 – Only the High Priest could enter the Most Holy Place where God’s presence dwelled, and only on the Day of Atonement. He would confess the sins of the people and cast a goat out into the wilderness. This “scapegoat” symbolically carried away the sins of the people. Isaiah 52:13-53:10 – The prophets foretold of a Messiah who would offer his life as an atoning sacrifice for sin. Like the Passover lamb (v. 7) he would save God’s people from death. Like the scapegoat, he would “carry” our sins in his body (v. 4). Like the sin offering (v. 10), he would be “pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities” (v. 5). Matthew 27:11-26, 39-44 – Barabbas (“son of the Father”) deserved to die but Jesus died in his place. Jesus died to bring sinners into a right relationship with God. The veil in the temple tearing symbolizes that, through Christ, we can enter God’s presence. Hebrews 9:24-28 – Old Testament sacrifices had to be offered over and over again. Christ offered himself as a better sacrifice – one sacrifice for all the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). Matthew uses the Bible version REV The post The Gospel 5: Jesus Died for Your Sins first appeared on Living Hope.

    The Gospel 4: Jesus, the Perfect Man

    Although it’s common today to think of Jesus as God, he’s the human mediator between God and mankind (1 Tim 2:5). God never feels the pull of sin. Like eating liver and onions, sin holds no temptation for God (Jam 1:13). Jesus, however, faced temptations to sin throughout his life, but he overcame each one (Heb 4:15). Scripture reveals that although Jesus had a miraculous conception (Luke 1:35), he was genuine human being. He was born in the usual manner (Luke 2:7), grew up and became strong (Luke 2:40), and increased in wisdom over time (Luke 2:52). Peter recognized that Jesus was a man attested by God (Acts 2:22-23). Paul saw him as the man who righted Adam’s wrongs (Rom 5:12-21). Even when Jesus returns as judge, he will still be a man appointed by God (Acts 17:31). To be human is to be in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27) and to have dominion over creation (Psalm 8:3-8). Jesus, though initially lower than the angels, has received glory and honor as the ultimate man who served God faithfully (Heb 2:5-18). The secret to Jesus’s success of living righteously was his dependence on the Father (John 4:34; 5:19, 30; 7:16, 28; 8:26, 28-29; 10:25, 37; 12:49-50; 14:10, 24, 31; 15:10, 15; 17:4, 7-8). The greatest demonstration of his humble obedience was when he faced Satan’s temptations in the wilderness (Mat 4:1-11). Jesus is the perfect man, our ultimate example in whose steps we can follow (1 Pet 2:18-25). The post The Gospel 4: Jesus, the Perfect Man first appeared on Living Hope.

    The Gospel 3: God Promises to Heal Our World

    Our hope should be the anchor of our soul as we navigate the struggles of life. Scripture gives us abundant and vivid information about the coming Kingdom, providing a clear picture of the future we can confidently anticipate, rather than relying on vague or speculative ideas about heaven. Romans 8:18 The more we know about glory, the better. Romans 20 – Futility means emptiness, frustration, inability to achieve the purpose for which something was created. Genesis 1:28-31 Isaiah 45:18 God’s original plan Genesis 3:17-19 the earth radically changed Genesis 7:11 Man’s sin caused a catastrophic alteration of both the heavens and the earth. It is not how God originally created it. Romans 8:18-21 2 Peter 3:1ff Isaiah 11:6–9 animals peacefully co-exist Isaiah 35:1–2 the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus Isaiah 40:4; Luke 3:4-5 valleys lifted up, and mountains and hills made low Isaiah 41:18–19 wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water Ezekiel 47:1-12 water from the temple Isaiah 65:17–25; Revelation 21:1-4 new heavens and a new earth Revelation 21:23-25 no need for sun and moon Revelation 22:1–6 Hallelujah! 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 do not lose heart The post The Gospel 3: God Promises to Heal Our World first appeared on Living Hope.
