FOUR THINGS GOD WANTS Us TO KNOW
1. Our Need As God Sees It
Rom 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God..." Rom 3:10-11 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God." Jer 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Isa 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags..." John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said '...Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'"
2. Our Own Helplessness
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Gal 2:16 "...for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."James 2:10 "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." Prov 14:12 "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
3. God's Provision Our Need
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."Isa 53:6 "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all." 2 Cor 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 1 Pet 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit..."
4. God's Promise to Meet Our Need
John 10:28 "And I (Jesus) give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Phil 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ..." Heb 7:25 "Wherefore he (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." Jude 1:24 "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy..."
Acts 3:19 "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord..."http://www.passionofthecross.info/pages/teachings.html#Four things God wants you to know
