INTRODUCTION: We are living in a changing world.

Places  change,  people  change  customs  change.

The world is full of changes, natural changes are going on all around us, but I want to tell you about some spiritual changes

 

I.

THERE IS THE CHANGE CREATED BY THE NEW BIRTH

*/I Corinthians 5:17/*/ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new./

A.       The life is changed

2.      Men love their families

3.      Men quit their evil deeds

B.        Receive a great gift

*/John 1:12 /*/As many as received Him to them gave He the power to become the sons of God./

1.

We are lifted out of the miry clay and our feet set upon a rock

2.      We are freed from the slavery of sin and set upon the throne of blessing

 

II.

THERE IS THE CHANGE CREATED BY THE GROWTH OF GRACE

/II Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and in the knowledge of  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ./

A.       The pastor's greatest joy is to see lost souls saved,  the second greatest is to see souls growing in grace

1.

Some members never grow

2.      Some members grow and are a real joy to the Lord and those who love Him

B.        Growth is aided by faithfulness

*/Psalm 122:1 /*/I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord./

C.        Growth in grace is aided by Bible reading and prayer

1.

Many people say they don't know much about  the  Bible;  because  they  never read it

D.       Growth is grace is aided by spiritual service

\\ III.

THERE IS THE CHANGE CREATED BY PRAYER

*/Luke 9:29/*/ And as He prayed, the fashion of His countenance  was  altered,  and  His  raiment  was white and glistening./

A.       Prayer changed even Jesus

B.        Old song "Mothers prayers have followed me

1.

Many a boy has gone into the world and has forgotten God but their mother was praying for them,  and their life was changed

2.      Said of Elijah, "He prayed"

 

IV.

THE GREATEST CHANGE WILL COME WHEN JESUS COMES BACK FOR US (I Corinthians l5:51-52)

A.       He will come at the last trump

1.      First  trump  blew  soldiers  packed  up their tents and weapons

2.      The second they fell into line

3.

They marched at the third

B.        What will happen to us when He comes into the air?

*/1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17/*/ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

/

1.

What a blessed time of reunion that will be

2.      We will be made like Him

*/I John 3:2/*/ Beloved now are we the sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be;  but we know that when he shall  appear,  we  shall  be  like  Him; for  we  shall  see  Him  as  He  is./

*CONCLUSION:*

Are you ready for that last change?

Are you trusting Him

Are you loving Him and serving Him

If not, may God have mercy on your soul
