Illustration of coming apart:
Alienation - Apart from Christ our lives are undone.
eph 2 11-
No Christ = No Covenant
Circumcision was a sign of being part of the covenant community of God.
It was a physical mark that represented a spiritual reality.
God was setting apart a people for himself to save.
In this context covenant = relationship!
No Christ = No covenant participation.
- You can’t claim Abraham as father and connect to the promises associated with the covenant.
No Christ = No Hope
“Having No Hope”
Desire that an expected outcome.
RC Sproul said,
“Hope is called the anchor of the soul, because it gives stability to the Christian life.
But hope is not simply a ‘wish’ (I wish that such-and-such would take place); rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.”
The work of Jesus not only looks back to the past but forward to the future.
With Christ our story ends in glory!
Apart from Christ our story ends in misery.
Luke 16:19-
Suicide solution where death is the great escape from the hopeless existence.
But the bible teaches that for those eternally separated from Christ have no prospects for escape.
No Christ = No God
The only way people can have relationship with a holy God is through Christ Jesus.
John
Apart from Christ our lives our lives are detached
Uncircumcised ( No sign of the covenant)
No part of the people of God
Not a partaker of the blessings of the covenant
Hopeless
Godless
Christ bridges the barriers to unity.
Christ reconciles Jew and Gentiles into a new creation called the church.
Reconciliation - In Christ our lives become one.
1. Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount!
I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of God's unchanging love.
2.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
3. O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
