BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD

WHY JESUS?

JOHN 1:1, 14 In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God...

The Word became flesh

and made his dwelling among us

WHY JESUS BECAME FLESH

ROMANS 8:1-3 Therefore, there is now no condemnation

for those who are in Christ Jesus,

because through Christ Jesus the law

of the Spirit who gives life has set you

free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law was powerless to do

because it was weakened by the flesh,

God did by sending his own Son in the

likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

WHY JESUS BECAME FLESH

ROMANS 10:9

If you declare with your mouth,

“Jesus is Lord,”

and believe in your heart

that God raised him from the dead,

you will be saved.

WHY JESUS BECAME FLESH

BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD

WHY JESUS?

BECAUSE JESUS’ SACRIFICE RESULTED IN MY SALVATION

GALATIANS 4:4-5

But when the set time had

fully come, God sent his Son,

born of a woman, born under the

law, to redeem those under the law,

that we might receive

adoption to sonship.

What is a Christian?

The question can be answered

in many ways,

but the richest answer I know

is that a Christian is

one who has God as Father.

BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD

WHY JESUS?

BECAUSE JESUS’ SACRIFICE RESULTED IN MY SALVATION

BECAUSE HIS REDEMPTION ENABLES MY ADOPTION

WHAT KIND OF CHILD AM I?

EPHESIANS 1:4-5

…In love he predestined us

for adoption to sonship

through Jesus Christ, in accordance

with his pleasure and will

If anybody understands God’s ardor

for his children, it’s someone who has

rescued an orphan from despair,

for that is what God has done for us.

God has adopted you.

God sought you, found you,

signed the papers

Max Lucado

ROMANS 8:15

The Spirit you received does not

make you slaves,

so that you live in fear again; rather,

the Spirit you received brought about

your adoption to sonship.

And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

CHOSEN AND LOVED

WHAT KIND OF CHILD AM I?

ROMANS 8:17

Now if we are children,

then we are heirs - heirs of God

and co-heirs with Christ,

if indeed we share in his sufferings

in order that we may also

share in his glory.

All that Christ claims as His

will belong to all of us as well!

How rich in significance is the fact

that we are full members of

an eternal family

in which God is our Father and

Jesus Christ our elder brother.

neither the present nor the future,

neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all creation, will

be able to separate us from the love

of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
