Show Notes:

Why are we Christians?

Important topic to discuss due to false doctrine being SO prevalent - often times we get lost in religion and forget the true gospel

Prosperity gospel, health & wealth, works based salvation, being “good enough” to earn our salvation

What does it really mean to be a Christian?

Surrendering to God, recognizing our own filth / sin, and living by the spirit once we accept Jesus as our Lord & savior

The gospel is so beautiful because it does not discriminate based on class, race, gender, background, or status

Talk about our own testimonies & our walks with God - what was a turning point for us?

What does born again mean? Means “born from above” or “becoming children of God” *see John 3:3-5

From the fall of man, each human was born sinful & with a heart loving sin & evil

No animal sacrifice would ever be enough to atone for our sin

From crosswalk.com: “God created an atonement for Adam and Eve’s sin based on the shedding of blood of innocent animals. These innocent animals served as substitutes. A substitute paid a price by blood which is accepted by God to restore the broken relationship. That is what we see all throughout the Old Testament in the sacrificial system.” Animals were sacrificed in the Old Testament, and in Genesis 3, to ultimately point to the Lamb of God.

Jesus was sent to earth as the perfect sacrifice for our sin - FINALLY sufficient

His death on the cross is what we actually deserve - it is a free gift to us & nothing we can ever earn

We all fall short & cannot meet Gods criteria. Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

As sinners we are spiritually dead.

From this sacrifice, we can life FROM grace - which produces works & good fruit

Share this freedom with others & bring others to Christ

Our lives are not meant to be lived for ourselves

Ephesians 2: 8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

John 14:26

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

James 2:26

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

John 3:3-5 NLT “Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”“Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”

Ephesians 2:1 “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins…”

Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
