But what about when
You “Eat Out”?
Or when you bring food in…
From a “Carry Out”?
Is the food prepared…
Like it was, under the Romans
To their gods and deities…?
!!!!!!!!!!
The above is from
My previous message about:
“The Loveless Church”
Is this an issue?
Does it really matter?
Are these questions
We should even be
Considering today…?
They ARE…
If you are still operating
Under the LAW…
However, we have been
Saved by Grace through Faith…
And Grace is both a matter
Of the Heart as well as
To do with Love…
Salvation starts with JESUS…
I could say that it
Starts with Jesus…
Continues with Jesus and
Even ends with Jesus…
In fact, let me say it like this:
Salvation is ALL to do with JESUS
Now some might say…
That Salvation is about
NOT going to Hell…
And as true as that is…
Not only is that not
“The Good News”
It is NOT about JESUS…
Equally as well…
Some might say…
That they have GIVEN
Their lives to Jesus…
Making it ALL about them
(You might need to think
About that one for a while)
But it all starts with
A familiar, often mis-quoted
Verse of scripture…
“For God so LOVED the world
That He GAVE…”
(John 3:16)
God GAVE…
Because He LOVED…
US – the world!
What did He give…?
JESUS
And JESUS GAVE Himself
On a cross…
To Take away our sin
It was John the Baptist
Who talked about Jesus as
Being the Lamb of God who
Takes away the sin of
The world…
(John 1:29)
The question for us
Is will WE believe it?
And receive Him (JESUS)…
As our Saviour and as
Our Lord…?
We don’t GIVE anything
We simply believe
And receive…
Or, we doubt
And do without…
But WHEN we receive
We are receiving what JESUS
Has DONE by Grace
In and through
His LOVE…
For that is who He IS…
LOVE…
And we receive Him
Into our Heart…
Which He proceeds
To change…
From the inside out…
By His Love and His Grace
You see…
It is ALL…
About JESUS…
So when we are saved
And we love Jesus
And our heart is changed
And our first love is Jesus
And we are filled with Him…
Does it really matter…?
