A New Life
Notes By: Sister Makeba Shaw
Holy Spirit convicts
The Bible says “think on these things”
If you are thinking on anything that isn’t edifying, change your thoughts!
2 Corinthians 5:17
What is the new life?
A new beginning Being born again- things you did before doesn’t exist anymore
Repentance of a sinner
Acts 9:1-2
Acts 16:24-32
Saul was a sinner in chapter 9 and repented, became Paul, and had a new life in chapter 16
Decision to live for Christ and to serve him
Luke 19: 1-10
Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector (IRS) and was doing wrong
Jesus looked at him, called him by his name.
God already knows your shortcomings and knows what you are doing wrong Jesus still wants to be your guest and sit with you
You must decide to change and enter a new life
Mark 5:1-20
Man living in a tomb
He had many demons
Jesus didn’t care It doesn’t matter where you’ve been/how you were living
John 3:1-8
Nicodemus -Jewish religious leader Pharisee
We must be born again.
Live a transformed life
Romans 12:2-2
Acts 4:23
Acts 11:26
Sometimes we feel we aren’t good enough because we aren’t versed in scripture. We have to spread the word
How can you have the new life?
Know you are a sinner saved by grace
Romans 3:12
Romans 3:23
You are not alone. We all have sinned
Romans 5:12
From the beginning of time, Adam sinned and brought spiritual death to everyone!
Romans 5:18-19
Because Christ obeyed God, it brought righteous and a new life for us all
Continue to tell yourself: I am the righteous of God
Psalms 14:1-3
We need to seek God and acknowledge him
He looks down from Heaven & knows
1 John 1:8-10
There should be nobody claiming that they haven’t sinned. If you say you’ve never sinned, you are calling God a liar and show he has no place in your heart We must confess and God is faithful to cleanse us.
