RECONCILING US WITH GOD – Romans 5:8,10

Jesus came to earth because we are valuable and precious to God.

In fact, we are the most expensive thing that God has ever paid for.

Jesus came to earth to:

a) Free us from slavery;
b) Reconcile us with God;
c) Provide for our needs;
d) Heal the sick;

Jesus came to redeem us from our sins by making peace between a holy God and a sinful man.

It is the blood of Jesus that redeems us from the power of sin!

Redemption only exists in Christ and it is through the blood of Jesus.

BRINGING ETERNAL LIFE

1 John 5:11-13

God created the world perfect, but when Adam and Eve sinned, they were separated from God and it was necessary for Jesus to come to earth to buy us back, take us out of this fallen world and bring us to where he is.

It is not up to God, it is up to each person to make that decision here on earth that will lead them either to heaven or hell

The conditions for receiving eternal life:

a) Being saved;
b) To endure to the end – Matthew 24:13
c) Renounce this world and life itself;
d) Love Jesus above everything – Matthew 10:37

Jesus came to earth to:

-bring eternal life;
-bring deliverance
-health, prosperity, etc;

SUPPLY OUR NEEDS 

Jesus wants to meet our needs in every area of our lives.

a) Jesus turned water into wine – John 2:1-10
b) Jesus paid the taxes – Matthew 17:24-27
c) General Naaman – 2 Kings 5

God provides for our needs, but in His own way and not any human way.

We need to be building on the rock:

-our marriage;
-our health
-our financial life
-household;
-business;

For Jesus to work a miracle and meet our needs, we need to do everything he says!
