II. Grace Relationships
Romans
15:7 NASB - "7 Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted
us to the glory of God."
Ephesians4:31-32
NASB - "31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander
be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another,
tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven
you."
The
gospel is not just a way of salvation it is a way of life. II. By making the gospel of grace in Messiah
Jesus the core ultimate value, philosophy, and religious ground motive or our
heart, soul, mind, gut and spirit we can live in relationships of unconditional
acceptance, kindness, sensitivity , long suffering, patience, and forgiveness
with others. III. To do this we must preach the law and the
gospel to ourselves day and night.
III. How should we then live?
Psalm 1:1-3 NASB - "1
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor
stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2 But his
delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates (mutters to
himself) day and night. 3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of
water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And
in whatever he does, he prospers."
This will be a Holy mind
and soul washing.
Ask God to let you hear the self-talk that you are telling
yourself and that now controls your emotions and actions. Debate any of this self talk that does not line up with God law
(moral principles) and gospel (God’s salvation through grace and not due to
your self righteousness in Christ Jesus).
Seek Repentance (change of mind and attitude) and Faith in the
Gospel
o
See and own your own
immoral unloving actions (100% Rule)
o
See the immoral and
unloving attitude behind the wrong words and deeds
o
See the false ultimate
concerns (idol) motivating the attitude.
o
Pray for a change of mind
and attitude to be given to you by God
o
Pray for faith to trust and
find refuge in Jesus the Messiah alone for salvation and forgiveness from your
sins.
o
Pray to not just accept the
gospel for your good but to become the gospel in attitude, thought, word, and
deed for the good of others.
The unexamined life is not worth living?
