The Abundant Christian Life

DateSunday, October 23, 2011 at 10:00AM

Speaker: Toby Soechting

Scripture: John 10:7-10; Romans 8:26-30

INTRODUCTION:
  1. “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10, NKJV) 
  2. A Christian is continually reminded that God wants him to enjoy life!  Jesus gives a Christian an advantage!
  3. The “advantage” is clearly seen in Romans 8:26-30
DISCUSSION:  IF I AM A CHRISTIAN, I AM PROMISED --
I. GOD WILL WORK GOOD FOR ME.
  1. “All things” of Rom. 8:28, implies both good and bad! 
  2. When circumstances work out well, God deserves the credit and glory (Cf. Mt. 5:45).
  3. The Bible doesn’t promise me that my circumstances will be better than anyone else’s.
  4. The very things I count as bad may end up being things God works for the good of saving my soul.
II. THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE LIES IN THE FUTURE.
  1. A Christian is justified (Rom. 8:30).
    1. Just as if I’d never sinned!
    2. It is a legal term, and a one time occurrence.
  2. A Christian is glorified (Rom. 8:30).
    1. The term is in the present tense!
    2. I am glorified!
CONCLUSION:  As we travel through life, with its trouble and strife, we’ve a glorious hope to give cheer on the way!  God promises us all the help we need.
