The Army has an ad campaign that makes the statement, " BE ALL YOU CAN BE IN THE ARMY!" Does that hold true for the LORD'S army?????
Are Christians able to do the
works of Christ in our lives? Are we able to be what He wants us to be?
Can we live where He wants us to live? YES!!!! First we must learn on whom
to depend and let our trust fall to Him that can help us to be all we can
be.
I. The basis for our belief... - 7-12
A. I believe in God/Christ - 7-9II. The gift for our guidance - 13-211. Not just a GodB. I believe in the works of Christ! - 10-12
2. Not just in Jehovah1. That He was who he said
2. That He did what was right
A. The Spirit is for our support. - 14,16-18.III. The love of our Lord. - 21-1. He will not harm us!B. His Commandments bring control - 15, 21
2. He will comfort us in times of trials.1. He will help keep us out of trouble.
2. Our control will affect others around us.
A. The Master's love will manifest through works. - 211. We will keep His commandments if we have HimB. The dependence must be on the Deliverer. -
2. Others will see His commandments through us.1. Not on organizations, buildings, people, etc.
2. QUOTE JUDE 24:Now unto Him that is able to keep us from falling, and present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.
If we do not accept the works
of Christ, or, if we do not the works of Christ, nothing we do will amount
to anything in this life. We can devote our life to helping the poor, sick,
etc. It will not avail us at all. How can we look at the works of Christ
and refuse to accept them as the true Son of God?????
WILL YOU DO THE WORKS OF CHRIST?????
