Growing In Grace
GROWING IN GRACE "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV) Growth is not how many Growth is how much "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV) I. PUT OFF THE OLD "Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." Matthew 9:17 (NIV) "It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace..." Hebrews 13:9 (NIV) "Who then will condemn us? Will Christ? No! For He is the one who died for us and came back to life again for us..." Romans 8:34 (TLB) * Trying to grow by doing good * Trying to grow by keeping rules * Trying to grow by feeling bad II. PUT ON THE NEW "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) "For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 3:3 (NLT) * We don't have to achieve our new life. * We don't have to keep our new life * We do have to put on our new life. III. BE RENEWED IN YOUR MIND "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 (NIV) "Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?" Gal. 3:3 (NIV) 2 QUESTIONS Why does it take so long? Where do I get started? TRUST "... He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Phil. 1:6 (NIV) "for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." Phil. 2:13 (NIV)

Your Relationship With God Starts Here
Part 1 in a 5 part Christmas series: A Place to Start. In many ways, Christmas, like life, is what we choose to make it. The choices about who we trust (or not) determine the outcomes of it. The Christmas story is the message of Christianity: God loves us so much that He sent His Son into the world to save whoever chooses to trust in Christ, & thereby start over.
