SATAN, SALVATION AND ME WHAT DO I NEED SAVING FROM?
SALVATION FROM ? WE REMEMBER OUR SALVATION WHEN WE TAKE COMMUNION WHAT DO WE THINK OF? JESUS DYING FOR OUR SINS JESUS OUR SIN BEARER FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS SIN IS OUR PROBLEM
THE BIGGER PICTURE ACTS 26:18 GOSPEL PROCLAMATION • TO OPEN THEIR EYES • TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT • FROM SATAN’S RIGHT TO RULE THEM • TO GOD AND HIS RIGHT TO RULE • THAT THEY MIGHT RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND A SHARE AMONG THOSE SET APART FOR CHRIST
THE BIGGER PICTURE COLOSSIANS 1:12-14 CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN DELIVERED OUT OF THE POWER OF THE DARKNESS [TO RULE THEIR LIVES] AND HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE BELOVED SON IN WHOM THEY HAVE REDEMPTION, THE FORGIVENESS OF THEIR SINS
TWO KINGDOMS • HTEOUSNES SATAN DARKNESS LIES/DECEIT DESTRUCTION SELF REBELLION DEATH CHRIST LIGHT TRUTH HARMONY GOD RIGHTEOUSNESS LIFE
SATAN’S WORLD 2 CORINTHIANS 4:4 THE GOD OF THIS AGE HAS BLINDED THE THINKING OF UNBELIEVERS SO THEY CANNOT SEE REALITY. THEIR WORLDVIEW IS THUS FALSE, DISTORTED, AN ILLUSION EPHESIANS 5:8 WE WERE DARKNESS UNREALITY WAS ALL WE KNEW
SATAN’S WORLD JOHN 8:41-44 WORLD OF • LIES, PRESENTED AS TRUTH • ILLUSION, SEEN AS REALITY • MURDER/DESTRUCTION, SEEN AS PROGRESS • FAMILY, HIS CHILDREN REFLECT HIS CHARACTER, SEEK TO REALISE HIS DESIRES
SATAN AND SIN 1 JOHN 3:4-11 HE HAS BEEN SINNING FROM THE BEGINNING ANYONE WHO COMMITS SIN IS OF THE DEVIL SO BEHIND ALL SIN IS SATAN HUMANS ACT OUT THE KINGDOM THEY BELONG TO
SATAN AND DECEPTION 2 CORINTHIANS 11:13-15 SATAN DISGUISES HIMSELF AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT AN ANGEL WOULD BE A MESSENGER OF TRUTH, OF COMFORT AND HOPE SATAN IS PASTORALLY CONCERNED FOR ME HE GETS ME TO FOCUS ON ME AND MY NEEDS
SATAN’S LIES HE LIES ABOUT • GOD - EMPHASISING ONE CHARACTERISTIC AND IGNORING OTHERS • THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE – RESULTED FROM EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSESS • HUMANS – WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO DO BAD THINGS • FUTURE – LIFE AFTER DEATH IS WONDERFUL
SALVATION – NOT JUST FROM OUR SINS WE NEED TO BE DELIVERED FROM SATAN’S KINGDOM INTO CHRIST’S WE NEED OUR EYES OPENNNED TO SEE THE TRUTH WE NEED TO BE DELIVERED FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT AND WE NEED OUR SINS REMOVED
OUR NEED WE NEED A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT • SO THAT WE MIGHT BECOME AVAILABLE TO GOD FOR HIS USE • THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CO-OPERATE WITH GOD • AND WORK WITH HIM TO ACHIEVE HIS PURPOSES
