The You Ares: a Sinner BUT....
NCF Sunday TalksAbout this episode
In April and May 2017 we explored the 'I Am' sayings of Jesus that John recorded in his Gospel. The Bible tells us a lot about what God thinks of us as His followers and apprentices. This present Series of Talks is all about the 'You Ares' of Scripture. Our identity is often found in what others says about us or what we perceive they think about us. These ideas change as time goes on. However, God clearly says what He thinks about us in the Bible and these evaluations do not change through time.
Throughout Scripture we read about sin and that all of humanity are sinners. In this Talk, we consider this but then remember that there is a BUT through Jesus. The immense cost to restore us to a right relationship with God could only be met by Jesus. You and I were lost, dead and hopeless. Solely through Jesus, we are now found, alive and hopeful. May we all comprehend and know this immense and life-changing love. May we remember the BUT of the Christian gospel message and then work with God to see our lives become more Christlike.
