Pastor Trevor's Notes from 04-30-06
Jesus Is Who God Says He Is
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level of a man who says he is a poached egg-or…the Devil…or… (Our) Lord and God.
1 John 5: 1-15
Main Idea: We can be assured of our salvation. Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God is born again. Jesus’ baptism and crucifixion and the testimony of the Spirit agree that eternal life is in Jesus.
We Prove Our Love with Obedient Faith (1-5)
The true Christian overcomes the world by his faith and demonstrates his salvation by obeying God’s commands-and they are not burdensome.
Deeper Discovery: Faith (4)
In a birth:
i. Conception takes place (5)
ii. Continuation is involved (6)
iii. Character is produced
iv. Completion transpires
v. Commencement occurs
vi. Certainty is expected
Jesus Give Us Eternal Life (6-12)
Jesus’ baptism, his crucifixion, and the Holy Spirit-all three of these testify that Jesus is the Son of God. God’s testimony is greater than human testimony, so anyone who does not accept it makes God a liar. The testimony is this: eternal life is in Jesus.
Deeper Discovery: Blood (6)
Believers are Assured of Eternal Life (13-15)
You can be assured of eternal life, and with that assurance, have confidence with God in prayer.
Children of God Do Not Make a Lifestyle of Sin (16-21)
Pray for a brother who sins. No one who is born of God makes a lifestyle of sin. Jesus has come so that we may be saved by God, from God.
Birthmarks of a Believer
Commandment Test
Companion Test
Confidence Test
Principles:
God cares about our obedience.
Love is manifested by obedience.
Whoever has the love and Spirit of Jesus has eternal life.
We may be confident in God’s prayer.
Christians should look out for one another.
Applications:
Trust God and obey His commandments.
Rest in the assurance of eternal life that God gives you.
Pray in confidence that God hears you.
If you see a brother sin pray first for him/her.
