Christianity 101 LIVING IN PEACE

From Foreigners to Friends Foreigners ̴ Gentiles had no hope of a Messiah, or a Savior ̴ God promised to bless the Jews (Genesis 17:7-9) ̴ They weren’t meant to keep God to themselves.

From Foreigners to Friends Friends ̴ God sent Christ to bring a new promise This was always God’s plan (Jeremiah 31:31-34) ̴ Now anyone can draw near to God and know that he is their Messiah.

One Humanity Peace is Equality ̴ The Children of Israel failed their mission ̴ they became prideful and kept the message for themselves. This is no different than what God asks of you and I! ̴ Christ came to end the separation. He created an equality of all (Galatians 3:26- 28)

One Humanity Peace is Access ̴ The Best peace that Christ provided was the peace between us and God we have the ability to stand before God forgiven and righteous. (Romans 5:1-2)

One Family The Family of God ̴ It’s LIFE CHANGING! ̴ you are being trained to be a dwelling of God. You become like God as you grow It’s as if there’s a family resemblance ̴ You’re now a member of a household. Christ is your heavenly father

One Family Living in Peace ̴ It can be overwhelming to realize that the Spirit of God dwells inside of you. And THAT you are slowly being changed to become more like Christ. ̴ Remember, change is a process. Don’t be discouraged if things don’t change all at once.
