Sermon Notes:
Salvation is not just a mental ascent. James 2:19 – Thou believest that there is one God;
thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Even the
demons believe in God.
2 Peter 1:3 – According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called
us to glory and virtue. Our faith couldn’t make anything happen, if God hadn’t
already don’t it. Man must accept the finished work of Christ.
Faith couldn’t make it happen unless Jesus already provided.
Whatever we’re waiting on, is already provided.
Ephesians 1:3 – Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Salvation
is a completed action.
2 Timothy 1:9 – Who hath saved us, and called us with an 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. Salvation is a state of being.
Ephesians 2:5 – Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved. Some have decided not to change.
There must be evidence. No one should have to ask if you are saved.
You should be so inebriated with the Holy Ghost that others
should feel it. John 8:31 – 32 – Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue
in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free. You can’t be a disciple
of God if you’re not continuing in the word. Unless you continue in the word,
you won’t know the truth and you won’t be focused.
1 John 2:24 – Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the
beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you,
ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. You can’t
know Jesus without knowing the word. John
5:24 – Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my
word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. You hear
it then you believe it. Saved people have resources. We have the victory.
1 John 2:3 – And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Keep his commandments. Keeping his commandments is evidence that we know
him.
Love not the world. You can’t mix the world and the word.
God hates sin, but loves everyone. Keep his commandments and
reject the world. Love each other, love other Christians, no matter their
denomination. There should be no separation.
1 John 3:10 – In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the
devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth
not his brother. If you don’t love your brother the love of the
father isn’t in you.
Is your lifestyle one that’s waiting for Jesus or are you
running Helter Skelter, everywhere?
Be careful what you watch and what you listen to. Your
eye-gate and ear-gate have great impact on your character. What are you listening
to? What are you watching?
Ephesians 1:3 – Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. We
were chosen in him before the foundation of the world. There was nothing you
could do besides accept what he’s already done.
Isaiah 26:3 – Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee. Discipline your mind to be on him.
Psalm 34: 9-10 - O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no
want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:
but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
