1 April 1st, 2018 [ TITLE SLIDE ] WELCOME - We are here to CELEBRATE GOD! - And all that He has done for us! 1 Redeemed, Reborn, Restored Terry Baldwin The story of Jesus Birth, Life & Ministry, Death and Resurrection... Is story about God s GREAT LOVE for His lost creation - God s poured out UNdeserved Favor and Mercy towards us - God REDEEMING people - God RESTORING people BUT... there was a TREMENDOUS PRICE for all this! A Price that NO human could every pay! Start at beginning... In Genesis... God created Garden (Paradise) - Put man & woman in it (We re not product of some galactic accident) - So man could Know God and Fellowship with God...This is God s design for man s life! BUT... - Adam & Eve Rebelled against God - Disobeyed God s ONLY restriction [ Genesis 2.17 NKJV ] And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

2 2 What is death...?? PHYSICAL Death is man s spirit SEPARATED from body SPIRITUAL Death is man s spirit SEPARATED from God dead spirit can never fellowship with God - Adam & Eve died SPIRITUAL that very day! - Separated from God / Even Hid from God - Lost Paradise - Lost Fellowship - Man became a slave to sin and Enemy with God - That act of Rebellion (sin) had both Spiritual & Physical consequences [ Romans 6.23 NKJV ] For the wages of sin is death... - Spiritual Death also translated into Physical Death - When Spiritually dead people die - Physically... They are Forever Separated from God... HELL - Man can do NOTHING to Restore Life & Fellowship with God YET... God s DESIGN for mankind had not changed Right there in the Garden, God set into motion His plan - Man could never come to God in sin - Only God could REDEEM and RESTORE Creation... IF He wanted to

3 [ John 3.16 NIV ] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son... Let me answer that... HE DOES WANT TO! 3 NLT - This is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son That s why Jesus was born into our world... [ Romans 4.25 NLT ] (Jesus) He was handed over to die because of our sins... - Jesus came to REDEEM and RESTORE mankind HOW DID JESUS PAY THE DEBT?? For the wages of sin is death... - In order for us to be REDEEMED... Someone MUST DIE! QUOTE: In his book, The God Delusion, atheist preacher, Richard Dawkins, calls the idea that God sent His Son to this earth to die for our sins, barking mad. - No other person can do that... they have their OWN debt - Only Jesus born of woman NEVER SINNED! - So Jesus died on the Cross Why a CROSS?? - Instrument for death... God used it to accomplish His Design - If Jesus had come in our time... [ SKIT MUSIC ]

4 4 [ Romans NLT ] When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. GOD thought you worthy of dying for - Jesus GAVE his life on the Cross - Was BURIED in a public Tomb - On 3rd day... He CAME TO LIFE!!...That s what we Celebrate today! HERE IS THE PROBLEM People think they don t need Forgiveness - We think ourselves... OK / WHY? - We compare ourselves to others we think are worse - Like saying... I may be dead, but not as dead as that person! That s PRIDE!!! If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. - 1 John everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God s glorious standard. - Romans 3.23 Our greatest need is forgiveness of our Rebellion!! - Jesus came to make that forgiveness possible

5 -ONLY possible through faith in Jesus 5 Does this concern you at all??? Bad News / Good News!!! [ Romans 6.23 NLT ] For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Remember God s original Design for us??? Know God & Fellowship with God How do we receive God s FREE GIFT of Salvation Must Realize... ONLY JESUS / No other religion [ Acts 4.12 NLT ] There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. [ Romans NLT ] If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. - When we do that, we are REBORN / BORN AGAIN! - Our Spirit is made ALIVE - We can have fellowship with God forever! [ Ephesians 2.5 AMP ] even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ

6 (for by His grace His undeserved favor and mercy you have been saved from God s judgment). 6 JIMMY & KIM / Worship Song - Come Forward and Pray Jesus came to: REDEEM US unto Himself... so that we can be REBORN, our spirit made alive. Then we can be RESTORED to Fellowship, God s original plan for our lives, a life of Victory
