Review: Jesus’ Authority as the Son of God... As a teacher (Mark 1:21-22) Over sickness (Mark 2:1-12) Over nature (Mark 4:30-31) Over evil spirits (Mark 1:23-28) Over death (Mark 5:35-43) To forgive sins (Mark 2:1-12) Over people (including us) (Mark 1:16-20)

Review: Jesus’ Death The darkness (15:33) The cry (15:34-37) The curtain (15:38-39)

Review: Resurrection important for two main reasons It solves the problem of life after death It guarantees the day of judgment

Review: Two Questions Do you know for certain that if you died tonight you would go to heaven? Christians believe that you can know with certainty If you were to die tonight and God asked you, “Why should I let you into my heaven?”, what would you say? According to Christianity, there are two answers – a right answer and a wrong answer

Review: Two Answers If you were to die tonight and God asked you, “Why should I let you into my heaven?”, what would you say? Wrong Answer: What I have done (salvation by works) Right Answer: What Christ has done for me (salvation by grace) “Grace not Works”

Review: What is a Christian? Mark 1:14-15 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." A Christian is someone who belongs to the kingdom of God. To belong, two things are necessary: Repentance Belief

Review: Repentance Mark 8:34-38 I put Jesus first… Before my will Before my ambition Before my popularity Before anything and everything

Review: Promises made to a Christian Holy Spirit (Mark 1:8) Forgiveness of Sins (Mark 2:10) Eternal Life (Mark 10:28-31) Also, repayment 100 times in this present life

What makes a Christian? (Mark 1:14-15) Repentance Belief (or Faith)

Faith is… Mark 5:21-24,35-43 Taking Jesus at his word Facts <= Faith <= Feelings

Faith is… Taking Jesus at His Word (Mark 5:21-24,35-43) Reaching out to Jesus (Mark 5:25-34) It is not the quantity of faith It is the direction of faith Faith is to be open and public

Faith is… Taking Jesus at His Word (Mark 5:21-24,35-43) Reaching out to Jesus (Mark 5:25-34) Having child-like faith (Mark 10:13-16) We are to receive Jesus Christ like a child Not in a childish way, but like a child trusting his parents This is a personal decision John 5:24 – the present and the future
