Flamethrowers for Snow Removal
Think of something that you’ve really wanted… what first sparked your interest?
On Fire for Jesus!
It starts with a spark too.
YFC, upperclassmen.
More than a statement of fact, a choice of lifestyle.
Sometimes though, even though we didn’t pay for it… we have buyer’s remorse.
Turn to Romans 2.
Remember last time we talked about how we have this Sin problem… Paul has already told us that what we need, the ultimate life hack here, better than even a flame thrower, is following Jesus.
and yet we still end up with issues...
Doing Impressions
Paul is writing to Christians, but talking about non christians… why?
Buyer’s remorse comes in two forms… returns and denial(misuse)
important to get in a disclaimer here, turn to 1 tim 1:18 but keep a finger on Romans 2, there are no returns on faith.
This is serious stuff… but these men are not irredemable.
Some know this first hand, or are even in the midst of sorting out your own spiritual ship wrek… and others need to know this because you are praying for people dear to you.
have faith that God is even now at work...
Buyer’s Remorse
Talk about two types of buyer’s remorse, return it or misuse it.
Types of Spiritual Buyer’s Remorse
Talk about my own law vs God’s law on my own… compare to buyer’s remorse
transition to Romans 2:12
Following the Law
The Hypocritical Oath
Who paid for the gift we’ve recieved… don’t look a gift horse in the mouth… Both forms of remorse lead to the same problem as our heart goes bad we embrace the hypocritical Oath
Problem for ourselves, because as we embrace pride in my own law or my own ability to follow God’s law, we get further and further from the good life that Jesus has saved us for.
Instead of being saved unto good works (eph 2:8-10) we pretend like we’ve been saved to talk about or pretend at good works.
Its a problem for the church, because often times, the only ones we are fooling in this game of pretend is ourselves.
We don’t lean into God’s grace, we don’t practice the righteousness of Christ in us and instead we become increasingly concerned with what is on the outside instead of what is on the inside.
We don’t have to keep looking back to the hope in 1:16 though, because if we continue reading Paul dishes out some more hope.
Have a Heart!
