THE NEW – 5
“Well, a man can’t just sit around.” –Larry Walters
Ephesians 2:8-10 (NLT) God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't
take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we
have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has
created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long
ago.
We are made NEW and given something significant to DO.
Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for
this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has
gone, the new has come!
All new creations have NEW PURPOSES.
2 Corinthians 5:19-21 …And [God] has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through
us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had
no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
1. You are an AMBASSADOR, sent from heaven to earth.
2. You were not ELECTED by people but CHOSEN by God.
John 15:16, 19 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go
and bear fruit — fruit that will last… 19 As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I
have chosen you out of the world.
Acts 9:15 But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument
to carry my name before the Gentiles
3. Never forget who you REPRESENT.
John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will
of him who sent me.
2 Corinthians 10:8 (NLT) I may seem to be boasting too much about the authority
given to us by the Lord. But our authority builds you up; it doesn't tear you down.
So I will not be ashamed of using my authority.
