What Is Needed in 2007

We Need to Understand God’s Salvation

For many Christians, all they know of God’s Salvation, is that their sins are forgiven.

We Need to Understand God’s Salvation To be justified means not only that our sins are washed away, but also that we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ.

We Need to Understand God’s Salvation Justification means that we are cleansed and clothed.

We Need to Understand God’s Salvation When you teach that salvation is only having your sins are forgiven, it produces failure in the Christian.

We Need to Understand God’s Salvation There is more to God’s salvation than having your sins forgiven – much more!

We Need to Understand God’s Salvation The answer to the Christians struggles and fears is that salvation has a present tense!

We Need to Understand God’s Salvation Salvation is past tense of sins being dealt with and a future tense of a home in Heaven but – what we need most of all – a present tense in our daily lives.

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God There had been all the talking planning and preparation then right at the critical moment the turned back.

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God There are scores of Christians who limit God because of personal defeat in their lives.

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God We as Christians need to turn from our failure, and trust Christ for a present tense salvation.

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God Christians need to prove to the devil and themselves that “greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.”

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God We need to stop fighting the battle that has been lost and claim the victory that has already been one – His victory.

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God If Christians would commit every area of their lives then God can move in and live through us.

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God Christians need to live in the good of the present tense of salvation.

We Need to Stand In the Armor of God When victory has been proven in the Christian’s life, you can handle anything!

Conclusion In your life and my life, we must do two things We must recognize the utter worthlessness of our fallen human nature. Then we must turn from it to receive the fullness of the indwelling Christ – “all that He is for all that I need.”

Are We A Power-less Bow? The Israelites were just like a bow for shooting arrows, all the pieces were there but the whole thing was slack and was completely useless.

Are We A Power-less Bow? 1. A slack bow has no power. 2. A slack bow has no purpose. 3. A slack bow has no pleasure.

Are We A Power-less Bow? Many of us Christians are weak and useless in the hands of God.

Are We A Power-less Bow? The Israelites did not turn back because of lack of power, (God was on their side). It was just fear.

Are We A Power-less Bow? The greatest cause of the Christians failure is that we too are afraid.

Are We A Power-less Bow? Christian victory does not come from a high education or a special ability; it comes from an absolute faith in an all-powerful God.

Looking Into the Mirror The purpose of these lessons is to take heed to the warnings given by God.
