Jesus is Life (John 10:6-14)
Gary McManus, 09/25/2016Part of the God's Word is Life series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Life through Jesus
The Apostle Paul speaks of us
(any believer) as being “in Christ.”
(Romans 6:23, Romans 8:1, 8:9,
Romans 12:5, 1 Corinthians 15:22)
We too have new eternal life if we
will have a relationship with our Lord Jesus.
This is what we read today in God’s word.
Is faith believing the UN-believable?
The Bible is believable.
The Bible is MORE historically reliable
than many books we simply ASSUME are true.
When we come to the Bible,
you hold a true account in your hands.
This true account is accountable.
What John wants for you: John 20:31.
Also John 6:63, John 10:28.
John received LIFE from Jesus and
John wants you and I to receive LIFE.
(John 5:21, John 6:27, John 6:33,
John 6:51, John 10:10)
However you interpret Jesus’ words,
it seems clear that Jesus wants us to have something:
life, FULL life.
Jesus is always talking about relationships.
(John 14:20, John 15:4-8)
Jesus explained that this born again life
is from the spiritual realm (John 3:16-17).
The heavenly Father desires for us to have
life and have it forever. The Lord has sent
Jesus so that we can have that life forever.
new life . . .and it is forever. . .
that is a promise. . .that is a guarantee. . .
If we receive Jesus.
Nabeel Qureshi, author of the book,
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, wants to focus
on his NEW life in Jesus Christ. . .
not “former Muslim” but “new creation”
(2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:22-24)
. . .”born again from above.” (John 3:3)
You and I are MORE than our past. . .
From CRU’s website (the organization with which our
missionary works). . .Melissa’s story. . .
Melissa has a new life from Jesus who promised.
(Philippians 3:13, Revelation 21:5) Amen
