Our Lord Jesus Christ Gives Victory to His People

Our Lord Jesus Christ Gives Victory to His People...we are no longer guilty! He:

1. Demands FAITH (Hebrews 11:6 - Without FAITH it is impossible to please God!)
You must believe God and walk with Him even when you cannot see or understand what He is doing or where He is going!

2. Dispels FEAR (I John 4:18 - Perfect love drives out fear!)
The more you understand God the more you know you do not have to be afraid of the devil. Satan cannot hurt you unless God gives him permission. You do not need to be afraid.

3. Diminishes FRUSTRATION (Matthew 16:18 - I will build my church!)
You do not need to be upset when you cannot do the work. HE will use you and He will complete the work. It is HIS work, not yours, not mine. You do not need to be frustrated.

4. Directs the FUTURE (Isaiah 46:10 - I make known the end from the beginning!)
He IS in control! You cannot surprise God. He knows everything from the beginning until the end. He has a plan for your life. He wants the BEST for you! Will you let Him give you a future and a hope? (Jeremiah 29:11)

Those who trust in God are no longer guilty!

What do you think is the worst sin we can commit?

And when He comes, He will convince the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment. John 16:8 NLT

The worst sin

What would you consider the worst sin you could commit? Adultery? Stealing? Murder? You might be surprised by the answer the Bible gives.

The worst sin—and the one with the most far-reaching consequences—is this: to refuse to believe in Jesus Christ.

Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit convicts guilty men and women of sin "because they do not believe in Me." (John 16:9) On that final day, it will not so much be the sin question as it will be the Son question. All sins can be dealt with and forgiven if we believe in Jesus.

We must not forget that knowledge brings responsibility. It is a grave thing to shake off the conviction of the Spirit.

Jesus said the Spirit came to convict us "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 16:11). The ruler or prince of this world, Satan, was judged at Calvary. When Jesus went to the cross and died in our place, Satan lost his death grip on humanity.

The spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment, but He wants most of all to give us assurance of forgiven sin. Why not let Him do what He really desires to do? Why not come to Jesus? If not...why not!

Your greatest blessing comes when you come to Jesus, then help someone else find God too.
