“Post-Christian Age”

Why Would We Need A “New Gospel?” Man still needs the Savior – Matthew 1:21; Acts 5:31 Man still needs forgiveness – Hebrews 8:8-13 Man still needs the Mediator – 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:15

The Church is No Less Needed Today Than Before Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Just As Much Need For The Gospel Today! Romans 1:16 – It is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek 1 Corinthians 1:18 – The message of the cross is to us who are being saved the power of God

Change or Substitution is Forbidden To add to or take away has serious consequences – Revelation 22:18,19; Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32; Proverbs 30:6 To replace with another gospel results in the curse of God- Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Corinthians 11:4,13

“Come As You Are”

“Come As You Are” Reflects age of Selfishness: “Do not expect me to change!” Luke 9:23 “deny himself.. follow Me” Philippians 3:7-9 “I count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” Age of Convenience has reached ultimate extreme- Acts 24:25

Full “Come As You Are” Philosophy Now Seen “Come without belief, repentance, confession & baptism” – John 8:24; Acts 17:30,31; Romans 10:9,10; Acts 2:38 “Come as you are with homosexual practices” – 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Full “Come As You Are” Philosophy Now Seen “Come with foul language” – Ephesians 4:29; Colossians 3:8 “Come with addictions” – 1 Corinthians 6:12 “Come with your own beliefs” – 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

Full “Come As You Are” Philosophy Now Seen “Come with adulterous marriages” – Matthew 19:9 “Come with ill-gotten gains” – Luke 19:8; Exodus 22:1 “Come with your own gods” – Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 4:24

“Come As You Are?” Repentance necessitates we “bear fruits worthy of repentance.” Matthew 3:7,8 Must be humbly willing to submit OUR will to HIS will- Luke 22:42 2 Corinthians 3:18 - image of the Lord Romans 8:29 - “image of His son”

Why Not Come to Him Now? No longer walking AS YOU WERE, but living a life of Righteousness before God! Been walking outside the way of Righteousness, Please Repent, Pray for Forgiveness & Begin Once Again living in the Image of the Son of God
