Sermon scriptures
Isaiah 53:10
10
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou
shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall
prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Revelation 4:11
11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast
created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
A position of a
believer is established by three things:
1.
Who is a believer in Christ/who are you in Christ?
2.
What a believer has in Christ/what you have in
Christ?
3.
What a believer can do in Christ/what you can
do in Christ?
Part 2. What a believer has in Christ/what you have in Christ
A. Believer in Christ has something in Christ.
a). Redemption/Forgiveness of Sins.
We
have redemption through His blood.
Ephesians 1:7-8
7
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in
all wisdom and prudence;
Colossians 1:13
13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son:
1 John 2:1-2
My
little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man
sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he
is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins
of the whole world.
Acts 13:38-39
38
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached
unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that believe are justified
from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
B. We have His blessings, righteousness, holiness and wisdom.
Righteousness
is God's divine nature.
Righteousness
is a gift from God.
1 Corinthians 1:29-30
29
That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ
Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
sanctification, and redemption:
Romans 5:16-17
16
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by
one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ.)
C.
We have
eternal life.
Christ
is our life.
1
John 5:7-13
7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in
earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is
the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on
the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made
him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life
is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son
of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on
the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and
that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Romans 8:1-2
There
is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
2 Timothy 1:9-10
9
Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began, 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of
our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel:
Conclusion
The
life we have today is the life of Christ.
Galatians 2:19
19
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
