The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
God leads us and helps us to himself Sunday July 16, 2017
Reading: Ezekiel 33:11.
1. Introduction
God is not interested in the death of the wicked. Why will ye die oh house of
Israel?
When our creator found out that Adam had failed he helped them verse 22. Man's
effort then was with leaves. God's method was with atoning blood.
2. Only God Saves
John 6:44 No man can be saved except God himself helps him.
Philippians 2:13 Ephesians 2:8
Our God Jehovah is the one helping us to come to him.
3. Gods Love
Firstly, God is not like a man who is just giving us Jesus for us to choose or
not choose, to go to heaven or hell, to do well or remain impoverished. Then he
can get over our failures that he gave us a choice. Even some parents do that.
God's love has entangled us. Thank you father! Romans 8:37. No! He leads us to
still waters
• If God left us to find out way could we find it? What way? Which direction?
That is why God is a living father he leads us in the way. Now God It is he who
knows what a man requires to be saved. No man knows. What we know is that God
desires Righteousness. Ephesians 2:8
• We also do not know what constitutes righteousness for God. (Many equate
goodness and Righteousness). Now Righteousness is his nature. The kind of person
he is. That a person is righteous has nothing to do with what he has or has not
done.
• Note that only righteous people are going to heaven so a man needs to be born
by God to acquire his nature: then he can think of heaven.
4. Our approach to God
Therefore to approach God with certification does not work. When you know that
certification does not work in the realm of the Spirit. There is no
certification that can function in heaven. If you cannot approach the throne
with any certification then how would one approach the Lord?
• Have Faith
Matthew 11:28. Hebrews 11:6. Just have to have faith in Jesus. Only faith
pleases God. Jesus responds only to faith. John 11:40. Not tests, evaluations
our suspicions. You abandon all you can do and let Jesus do what he will do.
John 5:40-42
5. Faith Pleases God
Faith is trusting God for what only God can do. This will affect your approach.
Your prayer will be to elicit from God what only God can do and trusting that he
will do what only he can do. Since what we do or do not do doesn't change God,
God has the final say.
• One thing that will save all men is to have faith in him. Romans 10:13.
Hebrews 11:5-6. Only faith pleases God. Many of us believe we sought out behaved
and found God. That is true but God it is still one who rewarded your effort.
6. Allow God to lead you.
The key leading instrument is the HOLY SCRIPTURES. Matthew 3:17. Good will not
reject you. John 6:37
Be sure to listen to the one only one who can save us JESUS. Amen.
Key Morale
It all about Jesus. Amen
