Normal Christian Life

This man Jesus disappeared off the earth, they could never find his body. He went through death and he came back and over a period of 40 days he appeared on 13 different occasions

A Christian who walks by faith doesn’t walk blind to facts, but he sees a stronger set of facts that have already been made real in Jesus.

Will you decide if you’re going to live for your own satisfaction — or if from now on it will be “For me to live is Christ?”

Illustrations from Jekyll and Hyde, Boswell’s Life of Johnson showing the deceitfulness of the sinful nature.

Living by security, significance and happiness because our self is perverted.

People including Christians have selfish natures. Freedom comes by giving every part of their lives to God-and asking God to purify them inside.

The Jews knew about the Old Covenant – God removes guilt and forgives sins. Christianity’s New Covenant deals with being clean inside-through faith.

To overcome sin, Christians need to have clean hearts. God gives them this by baptizing them with the Holy Spirit, as they seek him for this.

A born-again Christian often finds he still has uncleanness inside. He needs God to cleanse his heart-by faith-then be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Are We Born again?

If life seems to be generally satisfying–why would I want or need to be born again?

Is having a lustful thought pass through your mind sin?

I do not understand my own actions. I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.

Do we ever find ourselves talking behind the back of a friend?

Getting a clean heart is simple but costs everything.

We’re like a computer with a bug. We meet a disagreeable guy. We know a gentle spirit should rise but we spout a ‘Give him as good as you get’ blast.

If my heart doesn’t immediately expel feelings of pride or jealousy or anger then I’m living the Christian life the hard way–my heart is not clean.

How many of us believe we can receive a clean heart by faith? We don’t. We believe we work on an unclean heart by psychology, and trying harder.

Repentance is not never sinning, but it is a refusal to accept sinning as normal.

Our spirits are alive to God, but our heart still struggles against sinful thoughts and acts.

We want to be clean inside, but we still look to money to be safe and secure.

Your Maker wants to do something together with you. He wants to live a unique life through you, different from everybody else.

If we know of something that is doubtful in our lives, our only hope is to admit our wrong, turn from it and accept God's mercy.

Does God always answer prayer? What if I pray and he doesn't come through? Did I not have enough faith? Would it work if some famous healer prayed?

Life is sometimes pretty disappointing. Is there something we're missing? In fact we were made for love-infinite love that would satisfy.

Why is it the good we want to do we can't and the evil we want to avoid is what we do? Can this be normal? Where is the promised freedom and victory?

Have I tried to let the king of the universe be king in my life? Why can I not live that way? Why do I end up taking control again myself?
