Are you ready for eternal journey?
As our series: The Sum of all things: Jesus continues we will go into a few more sermons about the Gospel, the Growing and the Going.
So today it is a good old gospel message.
To those who are Christians, a reminder and and encouragement
To those who are not sure, a clear path to salvation and eternal life in Christ.
For there is no other way except through Jesus
If you died today, do you know for certain that you would be with God?
Scripture tells us we can know
If you died and you went to the gates of heaven as the world often says, and Jesus asks you “why should I let you in” what would your answer be?
I’m a good person
I go to church and tithe
I have good morals and I keep the 10 Commandments
I help others
Key there is “I” and I cannot get into heaven by my works, I can only get into heaven by His works.
I cannot earn my way, buy my way, talk my way into heaven.
Eternal life is a gift; not earned and not deserved, but freely given
So why is the gift so important?
We need to understand the gift, and our need for the gift.
We have a problem, God has the solution and offered the solution as His perfect and acceptable sacrifice
I. Need for gift of grace
The problem is sin, and the Bible teaches us that all have sinned and sin is a violation of God’s law
Sin is failing to do the right thing, when you know the right thing to do.
And all have sinned
So if we all fall short, what are the consequences of falling short?
Death
What kind of death you may ask, eternal death and separation from God
Eternal death, even if violated God’s law just a little
But there is hope, remember I told you God has a solution to our problem, our sin problem, and the solution is grace
II.
Gods Grace is the solution
In God’s mercy eternal life is offered
His mercy is made available by His sacrifice of His Son
God’s perfect sacrifice for our problem, for our sins
On the cross He paid the price, by His death our salvation, our eternal life was made possible.
This gift, this sacrifice is available to all, in fact that would be Gods will
Still not many receive this free gift
Because they fail to look for it, though it be made evident
Because they fail to obey the command to do the Father’s will
Or you may say Jesus saves, you may even do things in the name of Jesus, but the one who does the will of the Father will be saved.
1Jn2:17
Eternal life is in the will of the Father, so do the fathers will that you might receive the gift of grace.
III.
Receiving the Gift of Grace
First you have to hear the message that can bring faith
So faith is believing, believing in Jesus, the one that God the Father has sent
Faith is shown in works, works not producing faith but from faith, for faith without works is a dead faith
So if you have faith, how can you express your faith in Christ Jesus?
By repenting of your sins, in fact it is required, and required by Jesus.
So if those who do the will of God are those who can be saved, repentance is one of those things.
A change of mind, a change of direction and that leads to a change of destination and a change of heart.
2Cor7:11
Another thing that is the will of God and a work that is from faith is confessing your faith in Jesus
Confessing is knowing and acknowledging Jesus
When we do this, Jesus will confess us before the Father
Another work from faith is baptism that is the point of salvation, this is the place that God does His work in you, on you and then from there forward through you.
We receive Christ in baptism, there are some spiritual truths to know as we go
First, all spiritual blessings are found “in” Christ
Salvation is found “in” Christ
And there in no condemnation “in” Christ
and eternal life, which is what we started with today is in Christ
Believing in Jesus is good, but you need to get into Jesus for eternal life, another way to put it, is how do you put on Jesus?
In baptism
So you have heard people say that we are not saved by works and baptism is a work so that cant be the free gift of grace if we have to do it.
Remember that we are coming from faith so God can do the work and it is at baptism where God does it.Removes your sins and makes you new.
So let me expand just for a couple of minutes on baptism
It is immersion in water (for the believer)
to the one who knows he is a sinner and repents
It is the place where we are baptized into Jesus death
It is the place where we are buried into His death and raised into life
life with a purpose to walk in it, to walk by faith, to walk in obedience, to walk in the light
God’s work, by God’s hand that is in cooperation with our faith
Look at that baptism is a work, but not our work, it is God’s work (v.12)
Not by our righteousness, but by His mercy; we then have that, can know that we have that hope of eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Savior.
So from salvation, the point of salvation, from baptism we then walk in the newness of life and do as Jesus says.
From baptism we learn to follow Him and do His will and to keep His commands
and we can know what we have waiting for us
Though it may not be easy, though it could be costly to be a Christian at times at the end, He has that crown of life for us!
He has the heavenly home the Father prepared for us.
(Lead to invitation)
The way is the cross
The place is the church
The result is eternal life in Him in Heaven
If you have not responded to the gospel message yet, or maybe thought you did before and find you had not and need to now.
