INTRO: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE SIT IN CHURCH AND HEAR WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO?

1: WHAT IF SOMEONE TOLD US HOW TO?

A) OUGHT TO BE FAITHFUL

B) OUGHT TO BE COMMITTED

C) OUGHT TO BE EDUCATED

D) OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR BIBLE AND SHOW SOMEONE HOW TO BE SAVED!!!!

POINT: THERE ARE PLENTY OF OUGHT TO PREACHERS AND SERMONS IN THIS WORLD TO COMPLETELY DISCOURAGE AND FRUSTRATE EVEN THE STRONGEST CHRISTIAN. WHAT WE NEED AS GOD’S PEOPLE IS THE HOW TOO, HOW DO WE DO ALL THESE THINGS AND WHERE DO WE START?

2: ROMANS 10:1-10

A) PAUL STATES THAT ISRAEL NEEDS THE GOSPEL

B) THEY ARE IGNORANT TO GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS

C) STANDING RIGHT IN GOD COMES THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE.

D) V4 JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW THEREFORE ACHEIVIING RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE

POINT: VERSE 4 DOES NOT GIVE A CHRISTIAN THE RIGHT TO IGNORE THE MORALS AND COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. CHRIST FULFILLED THE LAW. THIS MEANS WE DON’T HAVE TO TRY AND LIVE UP TO THE LAW BECAUSE WE HAVE FAITH IN CHRIST AND HIS FULFILLMENT OF IT.

3: FIRST STEP

A) UNDERSTAND JESUS CHRIST HAS ALREADY ACHIEVED ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR OUR SALVATION

B) V 9, 10

C) ORAL CONFESSION DECLARES, CONFIRMS, AND SEALS THE BELIEF IN THE HEART

POINT: THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL A CHRISTIAN CAN CARRY WITH THEM. THE FIRST STEP TO LEADING A LOST PERSON TO JESUS CHRIST. BELIEVE, CONFESS, YOU WILL BE SAVED.

BODY: WHAT IF I CAN’T?

1: THE FIRST TEST OF A CHRISTIANS FAITH

A) THE DEVIL WILL USE ANYHTING IN YOUR PAST, PRESENT. AND EVEN YOUR FUTURE AGAINST YOU.

B) WE SHOULD ALL FEEL SOME DEGREE OF UNWORTH

C) THIS IS NORMAL WE’RE ALL JUST SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

POINT: HOW DO I GET PAST THIS TEST? MATT 28:20 I AM WITH THEE ALWAYS EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. THIS IS ALL A CHRISTIAN PERSON NEEDS TO FEEL THAT CHRIST IS NEVER FAR AWAY.

2: THE GIFT IN YOU

A) 1 TIM 4:14

B) NEGLECT NOT THE GIFT THAT IS IN THEE.

C) THE BIBLE SAYS IN EPHESIANS 3:17: THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH;

D) 1 JOHN 4:13,14: HEREBY KNOW WE THAT WE DWELL IN HIM; AND HE IN US, BECAUSE HE HATH GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. 14: AND WE HAVE SEEN AND DO TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER SENT THE SON TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.

POINT: THIS IS WHAT EVERY BELIEVER HAS INSIDE OF THEM SOMEWHERE. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ULTIMATE GIFT THAT IS INDWELT INSIDE OF OUR VERY OWN SOULS. HE IS THE KEEPER AND PROTECTOR OF OUR SPIRITS AND OUR FAITH.

ROMANS 6:23 THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD

CLOSING: ARE YOU USING YOUR GIFT?

DO YOU NEGLECT IT?

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS

THE GIFT IS ALWAYS INSIDE OF YOU

THE GREATEST PROBLEM GOD’S PEOPLE HAVE IN MOST CASES IS GETTING OUT WHAT THEY KEEP LOCKED AWAY INSIDE!!!

TURN JESUS LOSE IN YOUR LIFE!!!

NEGLECT NOT THE GIFT THAT IS IN YOU!!!
