WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
Scripture: ACTS 16:22-28, ACTS 16:30-34, EPHESIANS 2:4-5, GALATIANS 2:20, I PETER 1:18-19, PHILIPPIANS 2:3-7
"WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?"
YOU DISCOVER YOU CAN'T FIX YOUR CAR YOURSELF. YOU TAKE IT TO A
MECHANIC. AFTER THEY'VE LOOKED AT YOUR CAR AND TOLD YOU WHAT'S
WRONG, THE BOTTOM LINE IS WHAT IT WILL COST SO IT WILL RUN
AGAIN?
WHATEVER IS BROKE IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT WILL IT COST OR TAKE TO GET
IT FIXED? THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE, THE HEART OF THE MATTER.
IF A THING IS BROKEN BADLY, WE CONSIDER DISPOSING OF IT AND
GETTING ANOTHER TO TAKE IT'S PLACE. FINALLY A MECHANIC MIGHT
SAY, THIS WRECK IS NOT WORTH FIXING. MR. GOODWRENCH SAYS IT'S
GOOD FOR NOTHING. GET ANOTHER CAR.
PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKE CARS. IF A CHILD IS BROKEN BADLY, YOU WANT
THE CHILD TO BE SAVED, AT ANY COST!
A SIGN OF A SOCIETY THAT IS FALLING APART IS WHEN PEOPLE ARE
LOOKED UPON AS DISPOSABLE, REPLACEABLE. PEOPLE BECOME
THROW-AWAYS.
GOD SAYS YOU ARE NOT DISPOSABLE, BUT REDEEMABLE!
THE MESSAGE OF THE SCRIPTURE IS THAT YOU MATTER TO GOD!
GOD IS INTERESTED IN FIXING YOU PERMANENTLY!
HE IS INTERESTED IN SAVING YOU FROM THE SLAVE MARKET OF SIN!
HE DESIRES TO LAVISH HIS GRACE ON YOU BY FORGIVING YOU AND
MAKING YOU INTO A SERVANT.
WE ARE ALL BEYOND "FIXING OURSELVES" AND MUST BE RE-CREATED IN
CHRIST JESUS INTO A PERSON WHO GLADLY "GIVES HIMSELF!"
GOD CREATED US TO GLORIFY HIM BY BEING HIS SERVANTS. THAT WILL
GIVE YOU UNLIMITED JOY. EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE CHEAP WORSHIP OF
SELF WHEN MEANS EMPTINESS AND ULTIMATELY DESPAIR!
SIN IS MAKING YOURSELF THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
EVERYTHING IS SUPPOSED TO REVOLVE AROUND YOU. ...
