13 September 2015 - Ps Andrew Harper - Ephesians Pt 5
- The caring church.
Ephesians 2:1 - We are saved from 6 things.
1. - Spiritual death.
2. - Sin.
3. - Saved from the patterns of worldly living, but living in a Godly way.
4. - Satan/ Evil, (Kaos).
5. - Saved from our old nature, ( sin).
6. - Saved from the wrath of God.
Ephesians 2:2 - The daemonic realm is real.
- Satan has authority over all evil things.
- He is the defeated enemy, that hasn't been judged yet.
- Evil can't be defeated by doing nothing.
- By doing nothing, you are going backwards.
- We have to be vigilant in Christs name.
- Read Gods word, (The bible).
- Speak to God, (Pray).
- Live Gods way, (knowledge).
God gives us plans of attack and defence.
- If we don't have Christ in us, we can be drawn back to sin.
Eph 2:4 - Gods mercy and justice, meet at/in Christ. So if people wrong you. You are covered in Gods justice.
- The devil overstepped his authority with the crucifiction of Christ. Because Christ was sinless.
- Don't underestimate God, Justice is in Gods nature.
- The definition of sin, is stepping outside of what God wants for us.
- When we sin, there will be consequences.
- God doesn't protect us from sin, but Gods nature of justice, keeps us accountable.
