Jesus Saves 2 (1 Peter 3:18-22)
Gary McManus, 03/17/2013Part of the DCC Basics series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Who are we at Daleville Christian?
--we worship the Lord God
--we celebrate communion
And we do those because of Jesus.
So we want to be clear about who Jesus is.
CHRIST suffered once for sins.
Christ (Greek) = Messiah (Hebrew)
Jesus is the Messiah, the promised one.
Jesus came here to bring YOU to God!
Because everything is in submission to Jesus The Christ, you and I can be brought to God forgiven and transoframtion can begin in our lives.
The first words out of Jesus' mouth
(Mark 1:15), "The Kingdom of God is near. Repent."
Jesus, the Messiah, has come bringing His Father's Kingdom which we shall inherit. We are being made fit for God's Kingdom. Jesus establishes God's Kingdom on earth. Jesus established God's Kingdom IN US! This is (in part) how Jesus saves us. This is how transformation happens. Let us hear from other people who declare that God's Kingdom has come into THEIR lives and they are changed.

God NEVER lost track of these people, but they lost track of Him. When they gave their lives to the Lord, the Lord, the Messiah's Kingdom work began in them. They are walking in the way of the King.
Those who are NOT turning to God in Christ, Jesus Christ, the King will NOT establish His Kingdom in their lives.
But Jesus saves! Amen.
