Forgiveness

Is your life worth His sacrifice?

Christ died for each of us.  
Do we understand the depth of His love, for each of us, that He died in our place?  That He took our punishment, so we can live?

This is a call to all Christians.   We need to stop being a 'Sunday morning Christian'; and start being a '24/7 Christian'.

1. Have we changed our way....Of thinking?  

     "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.  Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.  Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."

Philippians 4:8

Of talking?  
     "Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behaviour."

2 Timothy 2:16

Of acting? 
     "But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice."

Luke 11:28

Of your responses to others? 
     "So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other.   Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.  Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples."

John 13:34 & 35

Of working?
     "Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people" 

Colossians 3:23

     "For we are each responsible for our own conduct"

Galatians 6:5

.......to reflect Christ.


2. What have you done, to show His sacrifice was worth it?

"Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God..."

Luke 3:8

"Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning. 

For to your shame I say that some of you don't know God at all."

1 Corinthians 15:34

Because if we love Him, and want to show that our life was worth His sacrifice, we need to obey his commands.

     "If you love me, obey my commands."

John 14:15
