step-by-step
3 Fruits of Revival
#1.
Character Growth
When you have an encounter with Christ, when you fall in love with Jesus, you naturally want to become more like Him.
2 Corinthians 3.18
But what about the person that says, “God loves me just the way I am.
The Lord knows my heart.
I might be living in sin, I might be a terrible person, but God knows I love him.
Besides, don’t judge me!”
Does that work?
Is that biblical?
God does love you just the way you are, BUT He loves you TOO much to leave you there.
He wants you to be on a constant path of growth.
Have you become satisfied with where you are at spiritually?
Last time- How well do you know Jesus?
If you are abiding in the vine, you will bear fruit.
Notice what Jesus said:
John 15:
Luke says it this way:
#2.
Reformation & Good Works
Revival without reformation is emotionalism
Reformation without revival is dry legalism
Revival leads to reformation
The book Steps to Christ clarifies this relationship between love and works by saying that love should be the motive for all our good works.
Love for Christ should be the “spring of action”
When Christ dwells in the heart, the soul will be so filled with His love, with the joy of communion with Him, that it will cleave to Him; and in the contemplation of Him, self will be forgotten.
Love to Christ will be the spring of action.
Those who feel the constraining love of God, do not ask how little may be given to meet the requirements of God; they do not ask for the lowest standard, but aim at perfect conformity to the will of their Redeemer.
With earnest desire they yield all and manifest an interest proportionate to the value of the object which they seek.
A profession of Christ without this deep love is mere talk, dry formality, and heavy drudgery.
Steps to Christ, love to be the motive.
We have good works not so that we can be saved, but we have good works because we are saved, as a response of love to God for His goodness to us.
So we see that revival leads to good works.
Revival starts with a change of heart, but it leads to a change of action.
If the actions aren’t changing, the heart hasn’t really changed.
Revival also leads to evangelism.
#3.
Witnessing
What does it mean to be a “witness”
When we experience an encounter with the living Christ, we become witnesses.
Notice how the book of 1 John starts out:
Notice David’s experience:
no sooner does one come to C
And of course we can’t forget the woman at the well:
John 4:
The book Steps to Christ describes it this way:
No sooner does one come to Christ than there is born in his heart a desire to make known to others what a precious friend he has found in Jesus; the saving and sanctifying truth cannot be shut up in his heart.
If we are clothed with the righteousness of Christ and are filled with the joy of His indwelling Spirit, we shall not be able to hold our peace.
If we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good we shall have something to tell.
- “The gospel will be preached in all the world as a witness”
Does that work?
Is that biblical?
God does love you just the way you are, BUT He loves you TOO much to leave you there.
He wants you to be on a constant path of growth.
Have you become satisfied with where you are at spiritually?
Last time- How well do you know Jesus?
what it means to be a witness.
