SERVING OUR SAVIOR HEY JOE! CAN YOU HELP ME OUT?

A BIOGRAPHY IN 5 CHAPTERS

“15 I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I DO. FOR WHAT I WANT TO DO, I DO NOT DO, BUT WHAT I HATE, I DO. 16 AND IF I DO WHAT I DO NOT WANT TO DO, I AGREE THAT THE LAW IS GOOD. 17 AS IT IS, IT IS NO LONGER I MYSELF WHO DO IT, BUT IT IS SIN LIVING IN ME. 18 FOR I KNOW
THAT GOOD ITSELF DOES NOT DWELL IN ME, THAT IS, IN MY SINFUL NATURE. FOR I HAVE THE DESIRE TO DO WHAT IS GOOD, BUT I CANNOT CARRY IT OUT. 19 FOR I DO NOT DO THE GOOD I WANT TO DO, BUT THE EVIL I DO NOT WANT TO DO—THIS I KEEP ON DOING. 20 NOW IF I DO WHAT I DO NOT WANT TO DO, IT IS NO LONGER I WHO DO IT, BUT IT IS SIN LIVING IN ME THAT DOES IT.”

ROMANS 7:15-20

CHAPTER 1

• HEBREWS THE 12TH CHAPTER — “THEREFORE WE ALSO, SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED BY SO GREAT A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, LET US LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT, AND THE SIN WHICH SO EASILY ENTANGLES US….”

CHAPTER 2

• ROMANS 5: 18-21 – “18 SO AS ONE SIN OF ADAM BROUGHT THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH TO ALL PEOPLE, ONE GOOD ACT THAT CHRIST DID MAKES ALL PEOPLE RIGHT WITH GOD. AND THAT BRINGS TRUE LIFE FOR ALL. 19 ONE MAN DISOBEYED GOD, AND MANY BECAME SINNERS. IN THE SAME WAY, ONE MAN OBEYED GOD, AND MANY WILL BE MADE RIGHT. 20 THE LAW CAME TO MAKE SIN WORSE. BUT WHEN SIN GREW WORSE, GOD’S GRACE INCREASED. 21 SIN ONCE USED DEATH TO RULE US, BUT GOD GAVE PEOPLE MORE OF HIS GRACE SO THAT GRACE COULD RULE BY MAKING PEOPLE RIGHT WITH HIM. AND THIS BRINGS LIFE FOREVER THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.”

CHAPTER 3

• THE STORY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT – GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE CONTINUALLY DO THE THINGS THEY KNOW THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO, EVEN AS GOD REGULARLY SHOWS UP IN THEIR LIVES.
• TWO TRUTHS FROM ROMANS – WE ARE ALL SINNERS AND FALL SHORT OF GOD’S GLORY AND THE COST OF SIN IS DEATH.

CHAPTER 4

• PHILIPPIANS 4:13 –“I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.”
• ROMANS 5 – “ THEREFORE, HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, 2 THROUGH WHOM WE ALSO HAVE OBTAINED OUR INTRODUCTION BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE IN WHICH WE STAND; AND WE CELEBRATE IN THE HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD. 3 AND NOT ONLY THIS, BUT WE ALSO CELEBRATE IN OUR TRIBULATIONS, KNOWING THAT TRIBULATION BRINGS ABOUT PERSEVERANCE; 4 AND PERSEVERANCE, PROVEN CHARACTER; AND PROVEN CHARACTER, HOPE; 5 AND HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT WITHIN OUR HEARTS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN TO US.” 6 FOR WHILE WE WERE STILL HELPLESS, AT THE RIGHT TIME CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY. 7 FOR ONE WILL HARDLY DIE FOR A RIGHTEOUS PERSON; THOUGH PERHAPS FOR THE GOOD PERSON SOMEONE WOULD EVEN DARE TO DIE. 8 BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 MUCH MORE THEN, HAVING NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM THE WRATH OF GOD THROUGH HIM. 10 FOR IF WHILE WE WERE ENEMIES WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH THE DEATH OF HIS SON, MUCH MORE, HAVING BEEN ECONCILED, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 AND NOT ONLY THIS, BUT WE ALSO CELEBRATE IN GOD HROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH WHOM WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE RECONCILIATION.”
• JOHN 1:9 – “9 IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”

CHAPTER 5

• I WALKED DOWN A DIFFERENT SIDEWALK TODAY!
• HEBREWS 4:15 – “FOR WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO IS UNABLE TO EMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEAKNESSES, BUT WE HAVE ONE WHO HAS BEEN TEMPTED IN EVERY WAY, JUST AS WE ARE – YET HE DID NOT SIN.”
