Notes from today (3/5/2017):
Reasons for our faith:
God hasn't changed.
We are who we are.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
Humanity got first exposure to perfection -- human perfection (Jesus is 100% Human, 100% God) in Christ.
Jesus came to be our Sacrifice.
Problem of OT sacrifices -- constant blood shed for sin.
They were like paying interest on the principal that could never be touched with an animal sacrifice (or any sacrifice apart from Christ).
Romans 4:10.
He sacrificed His Son.
He paid the debt for us.
Jesus came as a mediator. Hebrews 4.
Jesus came to fulfill the Law.
He is the Bridge to God.
Psalm 19:7 -- The Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul
With maturity comes better eyesight (spiritual eyesight)
I've gotta go so the Helper can come (John 16).
Understand what a gift the Spirit is!
God says, "Come to Me now."
You can be free from sin.
It's not a one time event. It's a lifetime event.
