PART II


WE

NEEDSALVATION

FROM ETERNAL PUNISHMENT & MISERY OF PRESENT LIFE


MAN


PART-1 WHY SHOULD MAN BE SAVED?

MAN & SIN•JESUS CHRIST - BORN SINLESS & LIVED SINLESS (HEB 7:26). •EVERY ‘OTHER’ HUMAN BEING - DEAD IN OWN SIN (EPH 2:1-3). •ZOMBIES WITHOUT SPIRIT.

FOUR ACTS OF COMMISSION OR OMISSION - SIN:1. SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS 2. OBEYING SINFUL NATURE 3. OBEYING WORLD SYSTEM4. OBEYING SATAN


1. “SELF” - SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS

EVALUATION AS PER OWN CONSCIENCE = SERIOUS DANGER (PRO16:25).

GOOD PEOPLE DON’T GO TO HEAVEN –

ONLY PERFECT PEOPLE


1. “SELF” - SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS

•JER 17:9. “THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS AND BEYOND CURE. WHO CAN UNDERSTAND IT?”

•ISA 64:6- IN PRESENCE OF MOST HOLY GOD – “I AM UNCLEAN”


2. SIN – II CAUSE : LIFE REIGNED BY SINFUL NATURE

•SATURATED WITH A DESIRE TO COMMIT SIN - ROM 7:15-24

•SINFUL HUMAN NATURE - PSALM 51:5


3. SIN – III CAUSE : FOLLOWING SINFUL WORLD

DO NOT CONFORM TO THE WORLD. (MATT 4:17 & ROM 12:2)

RELATIVES, FRIENDS, ACQUAINTANCESGOVERNMENT RELIGIOUS DICTATS: (MATT 7:21-27 & MARK 7:1-13).


4. OBEYING AND LIVING UNTO DEVIL’S TEMPTATION.

No one is righteous (Rom 3:10).

CONSEQUENCES OF SINSBecame enemies of God (Col 1:21)Alienated (FAR REMOVED) from God.


4. OBEYING & LIVING UNDER DEVIL’S TEMPTATION.

CONSEQUENCES:DEVIL BLINDED THE SPIRITUAL EYES

(2 COR 4:4)


4. OBEYING & LIVING UNDER DEVIL’S TEMPTATION.

CONSEQUENCES:

MEANINGLESS LIFE IN BONDAGE (JN 8:44)


4. OBEYING AND LIVING UNDER DEVIL’S TEMPTATION.

CONSEQUENCES OF SINSCAPTIVES OBEY DEVIL AND FULFILL HIS EVIL WILL

(2 TIM 2:26). DEPRAVED MIND (ROM 1:28-32).


MAN’S CHOICE – SCHEMES – WISE IN HIS OWN EYES

•ROMANS 1:25: DECEIVED BY DEVIL, REJECTING GOD’S TRUTH,

•DEVISING THEIR OWN SCHEMES=JUDE 11: REJECTED “GOD’S WAY,” &

CHOSE “CAIN’S WAY” •BLOODLESS SACRIFICE.•“WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS” HEB 9:22. •MANMADE = ‘RELIGION’


“RELIGION” ?

•ACCEPTABLE WAY TO WORSHIP GOD. JN 4:23-24; HEB 12:28.•PHIL 4:9 - PRACTICAL DEVOTION. IT IS NOT :

•DEAD, •DRY, •FORMAL, •HUMAN RELIGION OF RITUALS, •OUTWARD FORM, •AND OUTWARD SHOW,

•BUT A DIVINE, LIVING, VITAL, DYNAMIC & LIBERATING RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD


FOR REDEMPTION / SALVATION

USELESS TO FOLLOW:

•A DEVOUT RELIGIOUS LIFE?

•A LIFE FULL OF GOOD DEEDS & VIRTUES?

WILL NOT GOD ACCEPT THEM? Isa 64:6 & Eph 2:8-9; Tit 3:5-7.


–WHO WILL DELIVER ME FROM THIS BODY OF DEATH? ROM 7:7-26

MY ENEMY WITHIN


MAN’S DESPERATE CRY FOR DELIVERANCE


PART III


God has not left Himself without testimony
