Forgiven? - The Hidden Dangers of A "Moral" Lifestyle (16 of 68)
Series: 30 A.D. The Jesus Story
Dr. Larry Osborne
Luke 7:36-50
INVITED - BUT NOT WELCOMED
Luke 7:36-50
TWO RADICALLY DIFFERENT WAYS TO APPROACH JESUS (AND GOD)
Luke 7:36-50
1. PHARISEES: Proud and curious - Does he meet my standards?
2. SINNERS: Humble and grateful - Do I meet his standards?
THE TRUTH ABOUT FORGIVENESS
1. SOME OF US DON'T KNOW WHAT WE NEED
- Sin (even a little) produces death and separation from God
Genesis 3:1-24 and Romans 5:12/ James 2:10
- We can never balance it out or pay it off with good deeds
Isaiah 64:6/ Romans 3:9-12 and 20/ Galatians 5:4/ Matthew 5:20-48/ Hebrews 10:11
- The only path to forgiveness is the path to the cross
Galatians 2:21/ John 14:6/ Romans 3:20-26/ Romans 10:1-3 and 1 Corinthians 10:20
- If we don't want forgiveness - we won't get forgiveness
Luke 18:9-14
2. SOME OF US DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE
- Our greatest problem is our sin problem -
not our finances, health, or happiness
Luke 10:20/ 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 and 11:23-28/ Hebrews 11:32-40
- Those who understand their forgiveness are far more . . .
Luke 7:41-43/ John 14:15/ Colossians 3:13 and Matthew 18:21-35
Thankful
Obedient
Forgiving
TAKING IT HOME
1. Are there any past hurts or injustices that continue to be a challenge for you to extend forgiveness to someone? If so, how could the sermon or homework help you deal with that situation?
2. Take a moment to write (or say) a brief prayer of thanks to God for his forgiveness and what it cost him to provide it.
