ICYMI: Should have sent this out earlier, but here is the review for week 2: youtube/watch?v=eDHxnd6VFWs -Week 1 Review: God is Holy God is righteous and just The point of the Gospel is God making his name known; Gods glory -Question: What happened? How did we get to the point in life? -FAQs: How can a loving God send a person to hell? How can their be so much evil in the world if there is a God? -Lecrae says: Wrong question, ask again, how come God did not let you feel the wrath of sin? -What is evil? Anything that is against God. -The Fall of Man: Romans 3:23 First- God created everything in perfection (...and it was good; Genesis 1) Then- Man fell into temptation (Genesis 3:1-7) Serpent = Satan Emphasis on You will be LIKE God (Satans deception) Eves Response: desire for wisdom, in essence, desire to become like God Adam & Eves recognition of their rebellion: Then the eyes of both were opened -What happened afterwards? They tried to hide from God -Gods response: Genesis 3:22-24 Gods grace: he did not destroy man, yet, he kept man from living forever in sin separated from God (First instance of death) -Fallen short of the glory of God What do we truly deserve? Remember, God is perfect and in him is no sin -Romans 11:22 (Gods kindness and severity) RECOGNIZE THE SEVERITY OF GOD WHEN DEALING WITH SIN We cannot be in the presence of God in our sinful state We are condemned in our sin Question: When we think of hell, what do we picture? -Hell Proverbs 14:12: There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way to death (spiritual death) Explicit Gospel Quote: Someone who says hell cannot be real, or we cant all deserve it even if it is real because God is love is saying that the name and renown and the glory of Christ arent that big of deal. -Hell IS real. Jesus himself describes hell: Matthew 18:8-9 -Gods promise: First- He will defeat Satan and all evil: Genesis 3:15 The He God refers to is Jesus Second- He will save those who repent of their sin from eternal separation and suffering: Daniel 3:17 Third- He will send his son as propitiation for sin: Isaiah 53:5-6 -Concluding Explicit Gospel Quote: We have to feel the weight of his severity, because without feeling the weight of his severity, we wont know the weight of his kindness and we wont be able to worship him and him alone. Worship of him is why we were created. -Discussion Question: What do we worship? What are idols in our lives that take the place of God?
