GOOD NEWS OF A TRANSFORMING LOVE

15. “…and serves as the power source for all of our spiritual lives.”
Authentic Christian Spirituality is not so much about ‘living the Christian life’ as it is about ‘dying to yourself’ so that the One who lives inside you can live it through you and transform you into His image.

16. Practical Outworkings of Seeing the Gospel for All That It Is :
1. It can make you RIGHT with God.
2. There is POWER available to us to live
the Christian life.
3. There is TRUTH about who we are
in Christ.
4. There is HOPE for redemption in any
situation.

18. the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

19. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
1 Corinthians 11:23-29 ESV
