Merits of the Cross, your rich inheritance.
We need to believe...
that:
People usually ask... What's in it for me?
If you could see it all at once-you'd pass out
literally. (But God will show you the future)
Men would run to the altar and throw themselves
on it
But God plans on the glory of the reveal...
For the believer: the child of God. Gal 3:26
Part of your inheritance is reserved in heaven.
God is more concerned
about your problems than you are
God is smarter than
you. BUT will share Wisdom, much wisdom
God is an Expert at
solving issues
God's advice is
always the best
God knows how to
inform you of how to fix any problem
You must put your
whole heart trust in Him to see a solution
Hebrews 11:6, Phillip 4:19 there are promises, covenant privileges
based on family relationship
Jesus focus is on his people, not the world
Lets talk about basic
needs
Food, clothing, money, basic needs of life
Then other real needs: social, mental, spiritual, eternal needs
People also need: purpose, security, challenge, adventure, fun,
pleasure, etc
Surprisingly God made us to want and need all these things, and to
find them in him
Need food, clothing, etc..., Matthew 6:33.. Not seen.. His seed
begging bread...
Money... Riches... Prov 2
Prosperity...Prov 3.. Shalom is all encompassing word implying a
compkete covering, which is God Himself as your Shelter and complete Refuge...
He takes all your needs under His case
And cares of life... 1 pe 4- cast, cast psalm 55:22 throw...
To throw a thing implies you have to LET IT GO COMPLETELY
Remember, God is a
covenant God. Not a casual, iffy God
His promises are yea and amen... His Word is sure...perfect ever
enduring
But you just understand God works in covenants, absolutes!
Absolute promises based on absolute commitment.
To keep his word literally means to guard it as walls around a
fort
To protect guard it from slipping away
Recall Psalm 119:7-9.. Mark 8:the seed planted in good soil will
produce
We cannot get a sure result with casual passive faith, faith
without works, etc
The Bible calls this kind of faith dead faith because it only in
the mind we call it mental assent
Faith comes by hearing, the word then you simply act on what you
have heard
Jesus said the one who acted on the word was like one who built
their home on a rock
People make a mistake thinking the need more faith, when in
reality faith is measured in its quality
We need more word...because that will produce faith, faith being
either a fruit is a gift.

1 Peter 1 I love to read Rev. 21... Wipe away
tears from their eyes
Yet we are blessed now ...
I read Proverbs 3 the other day... And looked
for the meaning of shalom...
Its more that peace... Its the fullness of life
given to men!
See also John 10:10b
Our legal standing is that we are seated Eph. 1
But we are now the Sons of God 1 john 3. this
foreshadows something great in store
The completion of the human project. God's
product is you and I His workmanship.
That the Holy Spirit is now revealing in our age
and dispensation.1 Cor 2:9 (keyword: disclosure...to His friends.. John 15:15)
Jesus came in human flesh, a Man to win a battle for mankind. One giant leap for mankind.
The good news is that He did and does for us
what we cannot do for ourselves. Romans 5:8
You cannot change your nature, but God can!
This is good news. God imparts to men thru
Christ, his own life and nature righteousness,
Recreates the human spirit, causes your life to
be reborn, creates hope where no hope existed
Christ is truly the Light that shines on every
man who enters this world. John 1:9
INHERITANCE: Full representation, advocacy,
support, guidance, companionship, revelation.
Shalom: a blessed life, favor, yes trials, battles,
skirmishes, but only against a defeated foe
Luke 10:9-10. 1 JOHN 3:8 Acts 10:38, John 12:14..
Merits of the cross: entitlements Christ gained
from the Father to requite His unlawful death.
Judgment upon satan, new ability to release men from
bondage of saran, Colossians 1:14
