The IT Factor in the Life of Jesus

When we meet, is it present? How can we tell?

Do first time attenders experience it ?  Can it be programmed into our gatherings? Where can I buy it ? If it doesn’t show …well, why not? WHAT is it anyhow?

What is IT?

I have come that you might have life and have it to the full (John 10:10)

The gift of God eternal life (Romans 6:23)

The Spirit gives life (John 6:63)

What is IT? IT is LIFE—and not just any life. It is abundant life, life to the full, more and better life than you ever dreamed of.  It is life that starts now and is   unending!

How do I get IT?

1.  You’ve got to really want IT

Do you want to get well? John 5:6

2.  You must pursue IT with absolute single-heartedness

The way to life—to God—is vigorous and requires total attention.    Matt. 7:14

3.  You must be prepared to fight for IT

This is war, and there is no neutral ground.  If you’re not on my side, you’re the enemy. Matt 12:30

4.  You can’t get IT without intimate allies

5.  You must be willing to die for IT

Crestfallen, he walked away.  He was holding on tight to a lot of things, and he couldn’t bear to let go. Matt 19:22

6.  You must be willing to display IT

Shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.           Phil 2:15-16 (NIV)
