How should a Christian walk?

 

 

When we become Christians, we do not come into this new life full-grown. Many animals after their birth, in a few hours are up and going, moving about. Not so with the human family. The baby is nutured and loved, fully dependent on someone to take care of it. Such is true with the new babe in Christ. We must be nutured by God and those around us. If they are Christians, they can help us in our ignorance of this new life. Much is said in the Bible about us caring for our fellow Christian.

The Bible also teaches us to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. II Peter 3:18 If our lives are to be fruitful, we must cast ourselves wholly dependent upon God. Remember that we are God's creation. God is on the side of good health and His children prospering, see III John 1:2. However, sometimes things that belong to us are withheld because of our sin and disobedience. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. Jeremiah 5:25. Be assured if we walk with the Lord, in spirit and truth, we can rest assured. "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." I John 5 14,15.

  


    THE PLAN OF GOD


    TEXT: II Peter 3:9

    INTRODUCTION: God did not leave one stone unturned. He covered every phase of the human race. The Bible is man's guide book. God has done His part in the plan for man's redemption and has left that plan written in the Holy Bible. For those who want to go to heaven, we have the plan whereby we can get there. For those who reject God's plan of redemption, God has a plan for them also.

    THE PLAN OF GOD INCLUDES:

    1. SALVATION OF THE SINNER-- Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 10:13
      A. Salvation is fashioned for all -- Romans 10:13
      B. Salvation is free to all -- Isaiah 55:1-3
      C. Salvation is finished for all --John 19:30

       

    2. SECURITY OF THE SAINTS --John 5:24
      A. Believers are secure in Him
      B. Believers are sufficient in Him
      C. Believers are sheltered in Him

       

    3. SERVICE OF THE SOUL WINNER -- Acts 1:8
      A. We are to be watchers
      B. We are to be witnesses
      C. We are to be workers

       

    4. STEADFASTNESS OF THE SERVANT -- II Timothy 2:1-5
      A. We must be witnessing servants
      B. We must be working soldiers
      C. We must be willing to sacrifice

       

    5. SANCTIFICATION OF THE SONS -- Jude 1:1
      A. We are sanctified by Christ
      B. We are sanctified in Christ
      C. We are sanctified for Christ

      CONCLUSION: What a plan!
