Six Thoughts to Motivate and Inspire Christians
Presentation transcript:

 Has God been generous to you?  I have been given every blessing.  Why have you been blessed?  Because I am in Christ.  How does God see you?  I am blameless in His sight.  Have you been brought into His family?  I am His very special chosen child.

 Are you a slave to sin?  No! I am redeemed.  How did God take away the penalty?  It was paid fully by Jesus.  Have you been completely forgiven?  God forgives totally. There is no guilt left for me.  How far does God’s grace reach?  Further than the East from the West, further than heaven to hell. It is endless.

Ephesians 1:9-10, Psalm 73

 We’re trying to see things from God’s perspective. He doesn’t hold men’s sins against them.  Grace breeds grace, not sin.  Grace is lavish, it bridges the biggest gap and pays the biggest debt.

 Psalm 73 – Asaph sees the world and he almost slipped. Injustice is everywhere.  Without grace this world, and our lives, makes no sense and holds no hope.  We need to see the whole plan. God was delighted to share it with us. (1 Corinthians 2: 6-10)

 The end is unity under Christ. That is and always has been God’s perspective.  There are things we haven’t submitted to Christ or have reclaimed from Him.  There’s no mediocrity in total submission to Christ.  There is no room for fear in the plan.
