Jesus Plus Nothing
Luke 7:47 “…her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
Romans 6:5-6 For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be slaves to sin,
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 8:36 “Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.
As well as when Jesus said that
JOHN 10:10 “I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.”
That is not a fairytale!
Romans 6:12-14 “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Grace: Grace is God's ability in you to be obedient.
2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.
Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. ”
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.
Romans 6:15-16 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not! 16 Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of that one you obey—either of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness?
Romans 6:17-18 But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were transferred to, 18 and having been liberated from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
Philippians 1:6 I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus
Philippians 2:13 “for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”
