Everything God instituted requires agreement from us
There is nothing God can do for us without us agreeing first
(try to put a snowsuit on a child who does not want it on)
Purpose of the Church
God will not join with us without our agreement/invitation
Blessing & finances
If we chose not to agree with what God said his plans are for us
We are called to
We will not fulfill those plans.
Purpose of the Church
How he sees us
How to handle finances
Sexuality
We need to be in agreement with God on these issues and others
The first area we need agreement on is how God sees us.
How does God see us?
eter 2:9 NLT
God’s favor, love and grace is on us.
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people.
You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.
As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
.... May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.
....26 I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so.
Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
Why can God see us and love us this way?

“Freed us from sin”

We are counted as righteous
The standing before God in which the believer is viewed by God as meeting all His standards concerning holiness
Until we truly agree with God that this is how God sees us…we are limited in what WE think God can do through us
Because we will base God’s approval on how good we have or have not been
If we had a good week
God is happy and his favor is upon us and we can expect God’s favor
(remember God’s favor was on Job)
If we had a bad week
God is not happy, therefore his favor is not on us and we have to wait until…?
(when)
The bad week is what we need to struggle with while on earth
How do we walk with our sinful humanity?
