Living Deeply in Christ

“Loving Obedience”

Living Deeply in Christ 1 John 2:1-2 (Msg) I write this, dear children, to guide you out of sin. But if anyone does sin, we have a Priest-Friend in the presence of the Father: Jesus Christ, righteous Jesus. When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good—not only ours, but the whole world’s.

Living Deeply in Christ THE MOTIVATION FOR LOVING OBEDIENCE

Living Deeply in Christ Romans 3:24-28 (Msg) God Has Set Things Right - Out of sheer generosity God put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. 25–26 God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear. God decided on this course of action in full view of the public—to set the world in the clear with himself through the sacrifice of Jesus, finally taking care of the sins he had so patiently endured.

Living Deeply in Christ This is not only clear, but it’s now—this is current history! God sets things right. He also makes it possible for us to live in his rightness. 27–28 So where does that leave our proud Jewish insider claims and counterclaims? Canceled? Yes, canceled. What we’ve learned is this: God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does. We’ve finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.

Living Deeply in Christ

1 John 2:3-7 (Msg) Here’s how we can be sure that we know God in the right way: Keep his commandments. 4–6 If someone claims, “I know him well!” but doesn’t keep his commandments, he’s obviously a liar. His life doesn’t match his words. But the one who keeps God’s word is the person in whom we see God’s mature love. This is the only way to be sure we’re in God.

Living Deeply in Christ Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived. 7 My dear friends, I’m not writing anything new here. This is the oldest commandment in the book, and you’ve known it from day one. It’s always been implicit in the Message you’ve heard.

Living Deeply in Christ THE EVIDENCES OF LOVING OBEDIENCE… KEEPING GOD’S WORD… Truth to live by – What God says – do! THIS RESULTS IN A MATURING LOVE V6… YOU WILL LIVE LIKE HIM V6… Truth - The only way to be a model Christian, is to copy the perfect Pattern

Living Deeply in Christ 1 John 2:8-11 On the other hand, perhaps it is new, freshly minted as it is in both Christ and you—the darkness on its way out and the True Light already blazing! 9–11 Anyone who claims to live in God’s light and hates a brother or sister is still in the dark. It’s the person who loves brother and sister who dwells in God’s light and doesn’t block the light from others. But whoever hates is still in the dark, stumbles around in the dark, doesn’t know which end is up, blinded by the darkness.

Living Deeply in Christ THE FREEDOM OF LOVING OBEDIENCE LIGHT AND DARK CANNOT CO-EXIST V8 THE ATTRACTION OF LIGHT V9 Truth – Without the light of Christ, we would still be in the dark! THE FREEDOM TO LOVE ALL PEOPLE V10… Truth - The more law I obey the greater freedom I enjoy…

Living Deeply in Christ 1 John 2:12-14 (Msg) 12–13 I remind you, my dear children: Your sins are forgiven in Jesus’ name. You veterans were in on the ground floor, and know the One who started all this; you newcomers have won a big victory over the Evil One. 13–14 And a second reminder, dear children: You know the Father from personal experience. You veterans know the One who started it all; and you newcomers— such vitality and strength! God’s word is so steady in you. Your fellowship with God enables you to gain a victory over the Evil One.

Living Deeply in Christ 2 CLOSING REMINDERS… V12,13 – SINS FORGIVEN AND THEREFORE YOU ARE RELEASED FROM THE GRIP OF SATAN V13,14 – WITH GOD’S WORD CENTRAL TO YOUR CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE, YOUR FELLOWSHIP WILL BE SO SWEET AND FREE THAT GOD WILL EMPOWER YOU TO ENTER INTO HIS COMPLETE VICTORY OVER THE EVIL ONE
