The Bible says that "without holiness, no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). We need a perfect righteousness in order to be acceptable to God. But we don’t have it. What we have is sin...which God both hates and rejects. God has what we need, but don’t deserve—righteousness. How then can we be made right with Him? The "Great Exchange!"
Scriptures:
Romans 5:12-21
Psalm 103:1-5
Matthew 5:17-20
One of the biggest complaints lodged at Christians today is that we pick and choose which of God's Laws we want to emphasize, and follow. Is the criticism valid? How do we rightly understand the Law of God, and live accordingly? Jesus gives us the answer, and it's not what we expect!
Scriptures:
Romans 7:7-25
Psalm 32:8-11
Matthew 5:21-22, 27-30, 38-44, 48
Jesus calls us to be salt and light; to preserve and add flavor, to lighten the darkness. How do we lay that over Paul’s admonishments to the Church at Corinth in what it means to follow a crucified Lord?
The world tells us that people who are productive, self-sufficient, powerful, have the best resume, and are liked by all are the "blessed ones." But in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12), Jesus turns this way of thinking on its head. The shocking reality is that God's favor and blessing comes to failures! Weakness is the way.
Scriptures:
1 Corinthians 2:1-12
Psalm 27:4-6, 8
Matthew 5:2-16
