Revival Notes | Monday through Wednesday

Here are my notes from the final three evenings of revival last week:

Monday: 1 John 3:1-3

  • Our privilege: we are loved by God.
  • In Jesus, God lavished his love on us, transforming us from enemies to children.
  • Our promise: Jesus will return.
  • We will be like him, perfect physically, emotionally and spiritually.
  • We will see him.
  • Our purity: this is the result of our privilege and promise as Christians.

Tuesday: 1 John 5:13

  • Jesus can make a difference in your life.
  • John wants us to know with certainty that we have eternal life.
  • Certainty is possible because it isn’t the size of our faith that matters but object of our faith.
  • God gives the ability to believe.
  • God enables us to turn from sin.
  • God gives eternal life.
  • God newly creates.
  • God unites us to Christ.
  • The Holy Spirit is the bond that unites us to Christ (sort of like an umbilical cord).

Wednesday: 1 John 5:14-20

  • We are guaranteed that God hears our prayers.
  • Prayer is fundamentally about relationship with God.
  • All human relationships are mere shadows the relational nature of God himself as understood in the doctrine of the trinity.
  • We are guaranteed protection from sin.
  • Once one becomes a Christian, he can’t continue in sin as though nothing has changed.
  • Believers cannot sin in the same way they used to.
  • The reality of Christ in us wars against sin in us.
  • Like the force propelling an airplane overcomes the force of gravity in flight; the force of Jesus overcomes the force of sin in a Christians life.
  • In other words, Jesus’ power is greater.
  • We are guaranteed security.
  • As we live in a world hostile to true life, we are connected to the source of true life.
  • Our life in this world is powered from outside this world.

Thank you again to Justin Nash and Jeff Walsh. God blessed us greatly through your service.
