The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
Gods Great Redemption Plan I Sunday, May 20, 2018
Reading:1 John 4:8-10
1. Introduction
Many people gloss over the fact that God so lovingly went to great lengths to
deliver man. Why did he not just command things to happen? But we need to
evaluate the situation better. It is because God Is Love!
2. God is Love 1 John 4:8-10
God loves us because he believes in love He believes we are the best candidates
for what he has to give. He gives because love gives. John 3:16
3. How Men Love
Men love because the lover believes the loved has something that will make him
happy (in other words he can get something) or On the other hand the loved
believes as they (the loved) are loved because they have something unique to
offer. (That way they are sure to get whatever is being offered)
4. God's love
God's love is opposite. He gives especially when one is empty. Romans 5:5-8. It
is God who seeks me Ephesians 2:5-8 I have no means of saving myself, Isaiah
1:18, Isaiah 55:9-10, Mathew 28:11
We usually think of love as either phileo, Eros, but Agape love is the love that
is of God. When the Bible speaks love he speaks agape. That can only come from
God and those who are the offspring of God.
The Natural man cannot give that kind of Love 1Corinthians 2;14.
Agape love is genuine and pure and is unconditional is an attribute of God the
giver.
Jesus’ Love
John Jesus said I lay down my life. John 10:17-18.
5. God’s Love Constrains Him
Constraining Love 2 Corinthians 5:14, Psalm 8:4
What is man that thou are mindful of him or the son of man that thou visited
him? As a man cannot forget to breathe, so will God not forget to love. Isaiah
49:15 Constraining Love 2 Corinthians 5:14, Psalm 8:4
6. The righteous lineage and the natural lineage
For God to remove from the Earth it follows that it should be the prayer of man
that God will put them the righteous lineage. We should be reminded of the
flood. Genesis 7:6-7. It's purpose was to sanitize the human race. Jesus alluded
to the second sanitization when he indicated the sheep will be separated from
the goats. Matthew 25:32-33
7. God at work Genesis 3:15
God does not need to conjure he is the source of all things. By His
righteousness he made a way that the devil could not understand 1 Corinthians
2:8, Job 1:8
Genesis 1:1 God creates things he does not build things. Building things occur
in the physical because of time. And the Bible says God has full control on
time. 2 Peter 3:8. When God removes time we get a miracle.
8. Gods prevailing salvation
Many people give children all that support they can get and yet they turn out to
be wicked adults and then there is nothing they can do: not so with God.
He provides his children with weapons of attack and weapons of defense. 2
Corinthians 10:4
God did not only save us he equipped us. Luke 19:10, Ephesians 4:11
9. Righteousness faces challenges
God does not remove us from challenges because he is confident in righteousness.
We always win with God. We face our challenges from a position of victory and
our challengers from a position of the vanquished. Psalm 23:4, Isaiah 43:2
10. Nothing is impossible
The seed of the woman-Nothing is impossible with God
Be it known to you why there is nothing impossible with God
There are rules and systems that given this Earth, to is creation. But no rules
“govern” God! He makes them.
Yet still He does not flaunt His Power. It is not in my father's righteousness
to work like that. Enoch did not die, Elijah flew away. Jesus died but the grave
could not hold him. Acts 2:29
11. The seed of the woman
The Church is the seed of the woman Ephesians 3:10
Let us pray, our God he is above natural laws. There seed of the woman (instead
of the seed of a man) brought redemption to man. Pray for the church the church
is the offspring of the seed of the woman
