Old and the New
If you are lost - then you are on the other side and are dead in sin
Moses- When does the narrative start?
For Moses as a child.
We see the contrast, who you were in the past (and may still be) and who you can be.
Old testament is transition over time
If you are saved, which I believe most of you are, then this is a reminder - of the new “you”
Whole life narratives
It is a slow process of growth
There is still a conversion experience (burning bush)
They both had to deny their up bringing (Moses out of Egypt, the world)
Moses had to leave wealth and security
Paul - The narrative doesn’t start until he is an adult.
Paul
Therefore, if any man be in “Christ” - Stop, ask question
Are you in “Christ”?
What does that mean?
Well there are some really deep promises that you can claim, the most important of which is:
If you are in Christ, then you will “NEVER,” let me repeat, “NEVER,” be out of Christ - read verse again
Don’t ever let anyone try and talk you out of your salvation.
If you are in Christ, then you are in Christ forever!
If you are in Christ, then you are part of a new class of people:
cor 12:13
Corinthians 12:13
If you are in Christ - you have an instant relationship with all other believers
Discuss examples of trip to Memphis where there was instant commonality of purpose in witnessing, signing the hymns.
This means you can go anywhere in the world and have an instant connection, through the Holy Spirit that only those “in Christ” can have.
2 Cor 5:15-19
-19
"All” things “are passed away.”
You were “dead” in your sin and now you are alive!
That means your “death” has passed away and you have taken on new life!
You were heading to hell, and now you heading to heaven.
Hell, for you, has passed away!
You were without the Holy Spirit and now you have the Holy Spirit
You were alone, in your sin, and now you are one with Christ and will never be alone again
Loneliness has passed away!
You were without hope before, and now you have the hope of glory
Hopelessness has pass away!
There is alway a “but,”
Event though all the above are true, there are parts of them which are not yet “fully realized,”
You can still be lonely - even though you are one with Christ
You will still physically die - as it states in Hebrews
However, realize, your conscience, once saved is much stronger than before.
Things that didn’t use to bother you are now going to bother you.
That means you have to learn to deal with guilt and regret.
The “old man” is still there.
Holding on to you for dear life and constantly nagging at you.
New testament is about radical change from where you were (lost) to where God can use you (saved)
To look at things with new eyes
These are transitional (from one type of life to another type of life)
Gal 5:17-6
It is an instantaneous change in a moment of time
Conversion experience (road to damscus)
Paul a Pharisee (religious, but not in right standing)
Paul had to leave religion and tradition
It is not about the destination - It is about the relationship
The Good news is - if the relationship is right, you are already at the right destination
Paul on the road to Damascus.
The relationship wasn’t right when he started.
He was heading to persecute Christians and so his destination was wrong as well.
Lost to being saved (Your status with God)
Paul starts out breathing threatening and slaughter - seeking letters to Damascus so he can persecute the Christians
That is where he was - Lost, heading in the wrong direction
Then he has an encounter with the Lord
1st he gets the right relationship from lost to saved
2nd he asks the right question: what will you have me to do?
3rd Arise and go in the city
God promises, if you encounter Christ, ask the right question: Lord what am I to do, Christ will give you the right destination
Disobedient to faithful (Your relationship with God)
Being a taker to being a giver (Your relationship with the church)
Building foundations and walls to protect what you have gained
Transitions are difficult - don’t lose what you have gained
Build foundations and walls to protect what you have
Learn to pray and read the Bible to fortify your foundations
Pushing yourself to do more
Find what it is God wants you to do and ask God how you can do more
Build relationships with people who will help you be more effective
Mentor someone else to be more effective and do more
