Reading from Matt 25:31-46
True worshipers Worship in spirit and in truth
They escape the Final Judgment
Easter, Jesus death and resurrection
True power John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
1st Most important commandment is about your relationship with God (The first 4 commandments)
How do we worship in truth
Draw close to God and God will draw close to you
Starts with loving God because He first loved us 1john 4:19
Results in resurrection life
You will soon discover how trustworthy (his veracity) God is
You will learn to love His nature. He is amazing.
Obedience becomes a thing you want to do, not begrudgingly
Knowing God makes it easy to follow (obey) Him
Relationship with God changes you. Shaping you
2nd Most important commandment is about your relationship with your fellow man (the last 6 commandments)
This second commandment is a result of the first commandment
You will treat others the way you want to be treated
Because of how God treated you in your ignorance
You will not repay evil for evil
Do good when you are treated evil
Do not judge least you be judged
People may not mean what you think they did
When we feel threatened we wont fight or flight
We keep our peace with God and defuse the situation
Resurrected life is the kingdom of Jesus (God)
Are you pursuing the resurrection of Jesus this Easter
Are you drawing close to God
