[M] [PREACHING LESSON 16:] HOW THE CHRISTIAN BE AN OPPOSITE OF THE LOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

 HOW THE CHRISTIAN BE AN OPPOSITE OF THE LOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

 

( John 17:16-19 ) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

 

6 Biblical Way The Christian Is Posible To Live The Opposite Life The Lost People In The World.

 

1. LOVE NOT THE WORLD NEITHER THE THINGS IS IN THE WORLD.

 

( I John 2:15 ) 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

* God warn the Christians not to love the world because if love the world the love of the Father is not in us.

 

2. LOVE GOD ALWAYS BY OBEYING COMMANDMENT TO THE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST.

 

( John 14:15 ) 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

* God commanded Moses and the people of God to love God first.

( Duetoronomy 6:5-6 ) 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

 

3. LOVE GOD'S WORD AND MEDITATE IT DAY AND NIGHT.

 

( Joshua 1:8 ) 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

* The word of God is the food of soul of the Christian.

( Mathew 4:4 ) 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

 

4. LOVE THE CHURCH OF GOD LIKE THE LOVE OF CHRIST TO HIS CHURCH.

 

( Ephesians 5:25 ) 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

* Christ love the Churvh and gave Himself for it.

 

 

5. LOVE THE LOST PEOPLE AND WIN THEM TO CHRIST AT ANY COST AND AT ANY TIME.

 

( Mathew 9:36 ) 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

* The Lord Jesus Christ is our prime example of loving the lost and win them to be saved.

 

6. LOVE MISSIONS AND SUPPORT IT CONSISTENTLY.

 

( Philippians 4:15-16 ) 15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

* The Church love Missions and the Missionaries of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

7. LOVE TO GIVE OUR TITHES AND OFFERRING TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE LORD.

 

( Malachi 3:10-12 ) 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

* The people in the world are not concern to support the work of the Lord. Only Christians are concern to give their tithes and offerring to the Lord.

* Conclussion:

* All these spiritual things that the Christian love to do for God and His glory cannot be found in the life of the people in the world. Because our life is truly opposit in their life purpose in this world. Because the love the world, they love not the Lord Jesus Christ, they love not word of God, they love not the Church, they love the lost people and they are dead spiritually , they love not Missions and they love not giving of tithes and offerings. We are to totally opposit with them because they are lost and without the promise of eternal life and without hope and without God in this World.

( Ephesians 2:12 ) 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

* God bless you all always *
