DEUTEROMOMY 4: 20 Remember that the LORD rescued you from the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt in order to make you his very own people and his special possession, which is what you are today.


 

THE END PURPOSE WAS FOR GOD TO HAVE HIS VERY OWN PEOPLE!


 

THE END PURPOSE IS NOT THE DESTINATION, BUT THE RELATIONSHIP!


 


 


 

1.ONLY GOD CAN DETERMINE THE TERMS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM!


 


 

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FULFILL THE TERMS OF THE COVENANT WITHOUT LOVE!


 

DEUTERONOMY 6: 4 “Listen, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. 5 And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. 6 And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.


 


 


 

1 CORINTHIANS 10:1 I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground. 2 In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses. 3 All of them ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. 5 Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.


 


 

MATTHEW 6: 9 Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.


 

LOVING GOD IS ONLY POSSIBLE BY A CHANGE OF HEART!


 


 


 

WITHOUT LOVE, I WILL ALWAYS SEE MYSELF AS A SLAVE AND NOT A CHILD OF GOD!


 


 


 

A SLAVE WILL ALWAYS BE A SLAVE, UNTIL THE HEART IS CHANGED.


 


 


 

A GOOD FATHER BLESSES HIS CHILDREN WITH THEIR CREATED IDENTITY AND PURPOSE.


 


 

A CHANGE IN HEART PROVIDES A CHANGE IN IDENTITY!


 


 


 

A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD CHANGES BOTH OUR HEART AND IDENTITY.


 

Hebrews 10:1 The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.


 


 


 

ONLY GOD BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT CAN CHANGE OUR HEARTS.


 


 


 

WE CAN NEVER BECOME A CHILD OF GOD AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE HEART OF A SLAVE.


 


 

  1. INITIATING A HEART CHANGE!


 

  1. THE REVELATION OF THE NECESSARY LOVE CHANGE!
  2. THE IMPLEMENTATION AND ADAPTION NECESSARY FOR A LOVE CHANGE!
  3. THE APPLICATION OF DAILY SPIRITUAL MEDICINES  IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE LOVE CHANGE!
  4. LOVE GOD AND EMBRACE YOUR NEW IDENTITY AS HIS CHILD.
  5. BLESS OTHERS WITH THIS SPECIAL LOVE GIVEN BY YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
