What God thinks about you!

CONTRARY TO POPULAR (RELIGIOUS) OPINION

1. You don’t have to keep asking for forgiveness.
· God doesn’t forgive you a little at a time.
· Christ’s death paid for all your sins (past, present, future).
· Sin can never separate you again from God.

2. Your behavior does not affect how God feels about you.
· There is nothing you can do to cause God to love you more or less than He already does.
· God is never disappointed with you.
· God’s blessings cannot be earned.

3. You don’t have two natures (old you vs. new you).
· You’ve been given an extreme makeover on the inside (you have a new heart and spirit that are good).
· You possess God’s DNA (Divine Nature from Above)
· You are an asset to God, not a liability.

4. Becoming a Christ follower is not about your performance for God.
· God isn’t interested in self-improvement.
· God didn’t save you to serve Him.
· What God wants most is you!

5. Fully devoted followers of Christ don’t live by the rules.
· It’s not just hard to live the Christian life, it’s impossible.
· Christ gave His life for you so He could live through you.
· Your part is to live by faith and trust Christ who lives in you, to live through you, as you. (Galatians 2:20)
