JESUS, JESUS, JESUS

Verse 19

          1)…Christ is all you Need

In HIM…

Fullness in…Sum total

·       Attributes

·       Wisdom

·       Spirit

·       Grace

·       Mercy

·       Justice

·       Holiness

·       Creativity

·       Deity

·       Eternalilty

The way that fullness is used there…

·       It does not mean these things were added to Jesus Christ

·       It means He has always had them from the beginning

He’s all of God

If you need…

·       What you need, you find in Christ

Many running around trying to have some kind of out of body experience because they want more…There is no more!

When you have Jesus…you have it all!

          2)…When we have Jesus, we have enough

Verse 19

All believers have a permanent home

All that God is…

2…JESUS CHRIST IS OUR RECONCILER

Verse 20

Reconcile means to re-establish a relationship

Jesus Christ reconciles…

·       Sinner

·       All things

What is exciting

The whole creation is under the curse

The whole creation is going to be reconciled

·       You don’t have to stay like you are

·       You don’t have to be like you once were

·       You don’t have to be a slave to sin

·       You don’t have to be controlled by sin

·       Live under the load of guilt

·       Miserable in cesspool of human misery

Verse 22

3…JESUS CHRIST IS OUR SANCTIFICATION

When you got saved…

He didn’t save you to lay down in the ditch full of mud

Only way to be

        Holy

        Blameless

                Is thru Jesus

God is

·       Molding

·       Shaping

·       Squeezing out some stuff

THESE TOOLS WILL HELP YOUR SANCTIFICATION

          Study of the Word

Word of God in the hands of the Spirit of Giod

          Thru our service to the body of Christ

No one can be properly sanctified unless they’re attached

        To a church

          Situations of our life

·       Problem

·       Illness                    drove you to the sufficiency of Christ

·       Mean woman          drove you to the sufficiency of Christ

·       Baptist people         drove you to the sufficiency of Christ
