God Loves All People: Those who sin and those who think they don't.
1 Peter 3 :18 "For Christ also has suffered for the sins of the just and the unjust that he might bring us to GOD."
Romans 5:8 "But GOD commendeth his love toward us. In that , while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
John 3:16 "For GOD so loved the world that he gave us his only son..."
Stop focusing on all your concerns and focus on GOD.
- When Lazurus was dead this did not stop Jesus from going to see about him. We need to put our focus on the one who brings life not the things that take away life.
What does it mean to be born again - It's when a person receives new life through Jesus Christ, a spiritual rebirth through our faith in Him.
In John 3:1 Nicodemus recognized the power of GOD that is upon Jesus. Nicodemus asked: "how can a man be born after the birth through his mother?" Jesus explained that this is a spiritual rebirth. This means a change.
People love when you sin because it makes them feel justified in theirs. We should always compare our lives to the life of Jesus Christ.
We should restore and love one anaother and not tear eachother down by bringing up their sins.
Jesus paid the price for us to be born again!
1. When you are born again, You have a new heart. This mean that your nature has changed
Acts 9:1-9 Saul was killing anyone who called themselves a Christian, but Jesus confronted them on the road and He changed Saul's heart.
2. When you are born again, You have a new vision.
2 Corinthians 4:6
Are you still blinded by sin?
3. A new mission/purpose
It is our job to help those who need Christ. This is our mission
Acts 9:20
