The New Life - Part 6

The New Life - Part 6

Lord of Life
Christ died to be our Savior and lives to be our Lord!

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45 NKJ

3 Keys to begin

• Hebrews 11:6 -- seek Him
  
• Psalm 92:13 -- planted
  
• James 1:22 -- doers

He Is Lord

• Scripture – Mark 10:32-45
  
• Not positions and titles
  
• Rather obedience and trust
• II Corinthians 4:5 “For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord.”
  
• The root of all sin is an independent nature.
  
  • It is doing what is right in our own eyes apart from God.
    
  • The old sin nature lives according to this rule.
    
  • If we allow it to prevail in our lives, it will cause us to take this same course.
• In Christ, we are no longer the lord of our lives.
  
  • We have submitted ourselves to the authority of God.
    
  • The Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God.
    
  • We are to submit our thoughts and ways to Him, and seek to live by His Word.

He Is Lord
Thus speaketh Christ our Lord to us:
You call Me master and obey Me not.
You call Me light and see Me not.
You call Me the Way and walk Me not.
You call Me life and live Me not.
You call Me wise and follow Me not.
You call Me fair and love Me not.
You call Me rich and ask Me not.
You call Me eternal and seek Me not.
If I condemn thee, blame Me not.

So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. I Corinthians 15:45

Lordship defined:

• Admit - sin and need of a Savior
  
• Submit - forsake sin and submit your life to God
  
• Commit - yourself and your way to the Lord each day
  
• Transmit - share His love and goodness with others
