WELCOME TO BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY

• The idea of unifying the world’s religions may seem noble, but it’s .
• Trying to elevate Jesus to the same level as anything or anyone is pointless.
• The question isn’t whether Christianity is arrogant, but whether Christianity is .
• In today’s culture, followers of Jesus are not meant to retreat, merge all religions for superficial acceptance, or live in constant fear.
• We are called to lovingly the greatness of Jesus with those in the culture who are craving truth, and even with those who reject it.

Welcome to biblical Christianity, where faith often involves suffering, tribulation, hardship, and crucifixion.

• Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.”

• Colossians 1:22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. Result: Christ sinful people into holy and blameless individuals in God’s sight.
• Colossians 2:7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Result: Christ people, leading to thankfulness.
• Colossians 2:10 So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. Result: We have everything we need to live in perfect with God the Father through Christ’s work.
• Living fully for Jesus in both the first and 21st centuries involves making and choices in life.
  • Is the foundation of my faith ?
  • Is my faith rooted in ?
  • Do the strong winds of culture influence me more, or is it the validity of God’s ?
  • Am I sufficiently skilled in God’s Word to make life decisions based on what’s ?
  • Am I wise to recognize that what seems insignificant can significantly the direction and details of my life?

• It seems that the growing hatred for Christianity is to decrease anytime soon.

Be not afraid to possess this peculiar character, for though it is misunderstood on earth, it is well understood in heaven. Charles Spurgeon

“Man cannot begin with himself and arrive at ultimate reality.”  Francis Schaeffer

• Colossians 2:8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

“If you’re not confident in the authority of the Scriptures, you will be a slave to what sounds right.” Matt Chandler

1. Develop a healthy habit of seeing your world through the lens of Scripture.
2. Study truth to understand it, live by it, and be inspired by it.
3. Christianity is distinct from the sermons of the culture.

“A real Christian is an odd number anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen, talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see, expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another, empties himself in order to be full, admits he is wrong so he can be declared right, goes down in order to get up, is strongest when he is weakest, richest when he is poorest and happiest when he feels worst. He dies so he can live, forsakes to have, gives away so he can keep, sees the invisible, hears the inaudible and knows that which passes knowledge.” A.W. Tozer

“I’m not better than you; I am different.”

Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner. I know that the penalty of my sin is physical, spiritual, and eternal death. I acknowledge that I can’t do anything about my situation. But I know that You came to pay the penalty for my sin. I trust in You alone as the One who died in my place. I repent of my sin and trust in You alone as the only One who can place me in an eternal relationship with the living God. I desire to be Your child. I desire to live as Your child. In Your name. Amen.
