THE REST OF THE GOSPEL

Jesus + nothing = the gospel Anything else isn't good news.

When Jesus said "It is Finished" He did NOT mean, I did my part, now you do yours!

What part of "It is Finished" don't you understand?

It is finished, you are complete in Him! Celebrate freedom!

You are righteous You are holy You are clean You are innocent You are like Jesus

His divine power has given us everything that pertains to life AND godliness. 2Peter 1:3

Grace is much more than unmerited favor.

Galatians 4 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.  2  The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.  3  So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.  4  But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a wom...

The Prodigal Son thought that the best he could do was be a servant and so did his elder brother. Unfortunately that is the target many Christians are aiming for. But it's unacceptable to the Father. (See Luke 15)

So if the Son sets you free from sin, then become a true son & be unquestionably free! John 8:36

Insights on how you can be a victim of Law and bonus material on how to discover a new Law of Life!

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.   I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’   “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast a...

It's the Law (not grace) that is a license to sin!

How to be wrong by being "right"

“But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!" Matthew 5:20

Have you repented of your righteousness???

When Jesus rose from the grave, your old nature didn't.

There's no such thing as an adult caterpillar. Only butterflies!

2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is  a new creation ; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." You can't be a worm & a butterfly at the same time!

GALATIANS 2  19For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. 20My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21I do not treat the grace of God as me...

He who knew no sin became sin on your behalf you you would become the righteousness of God in Christ.

You are HOLY because Jesus said so

Your new identity is RIGHTEOUSNESS. It's a sin to call yourself a sinner.

Jesus said, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

Happy Valentine's Day. You are loved!
