0272 The Coin of Christian Life

THE COIN OF ABUNDANT LIFE

Holy Spirit is a deposit from God (2 Cor.2:22; 5:5; Ephesians 1:13-14)

Jesus came to give life to the living (John 10:10) Life – zoë “eternal life of God”

Two keys to marriage: leave and cleave (Gen.2:24) Jesus left Father and mother to cleave to Church

Leave the world It’s possible to be religious and yet not leave the world World is pride, lust and greed Instead of leaving the world we invite God into it It’s possible to leave the world outwardly but not inwardly There is no milk and honey in Egypt. God will not bring promise land to Egypt It’s possible to live the world and yet not inherit the promise land

Cleave to Christ Crucifixion – leave the world; resurrection - cleave to new life (Rom.6:4) Leaving the world is not sorrowful but joyful The purpose of leaving the world is so that you can be free to cleave to God Cleave to God with your mind, soul and spirit Milk and honey is not found in wilderness but in promise land
