From the gateway church, Robert Morris teaches insightfully about more than words
Love, Scripture links
The Bible is a love story, God's love for us. God exhibiting his love towards us. We have a call to action beyond salvation, something else happened with the death and resurrection beyond salvation.
Genesis 3:23–24
1. The Exile - Still impacts everyone today. We need a savior. We are separate from God's call on our life. We are in exile when we feel the weight of sin in our lives, when we are not living in God's purpose for our life. We protected in exile by God and are brought out of exile by God.
2. The Blood Sacrifice - Jesus is the Passover lamb. Celebrate our freedom
Exodus 13:3; 1 Corinthians 5:7–8
John 1:1 - in the beginning, John 20 on the six day of the week, Jesus is on trial "this is the man", six day of creation is when God created man. At the end of the six day of Creation God said, it is finished. When Jesus died he said, "It is finished", seventh day God rested, Jesus was in the tomb. The first day of the week Jesus appears to Mary as the gardener, he's taken back his rule. Gives the garden back to do the work he's called us to do. "Help bring his kingdom of heaven, down to earth"
3. The Mission - Love God, love others. How will it happen?
Matthew 22:35–40; John 16:8–11, "Holy Spirit will convict the world of sin, righteousness (justice), and judgement. Sin because they don't believe Jesus is God. Our role is to strive to remove sin from our lives in the power of the Holy Spirit. Justice because I go to my father and they see me no more. We are to "Do justice" - not protesting, but being a witness in our "doing". Judgment because the ruler of this world is judged (was Satan). We don't need to judge anyone, the Holy Spirit does this - not ours. Our job is to love. Think of holiness being about what we do (fresh water, life-giving), not what we don't do (pour and separate). We ask, "what do you need most" - and then do it, let people see the "marks of Christ" - "by your love they will know your my disciple".
