Sermon notes
THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE GOSPEL From a practical sense, it's impossible to have a relationship with God. Isa 6:1-5 What must a man do to be saved? You won't appreciate the incarnation if you don't understand that no one had seen God before Christ came. Bible texts that prove this; John 3:13, 1:18, Heb 11:13 God is transcendent - infinitely above anything & anyone. He was so unapproachable. 1Tim 6:16 In every true presentation of the Gospel, you will find 2 things; 1. The utter helplessness of man 2. The sovereign intervention of God. John 1:11-14 God was seen for the first time in the incarnation. Heb 4:15 What has changed since the incarnation? Everything! God didn't just become a man, he became God’s covenant man to our own benefit. Just as Adam was God’s covenant man, whatever they both did, we did. Gen 5:2, Rom 5:19 In Christ's death, we died, in his resurrection, we were raised back to life. This is the true baptism. Baptism is a spiritual operation by which we become beneficiaries of the redemptive work of Christ - the second Adam. All we need do is BELIEVE that all he did is efficacious for giving you a new life in him. Rom 5:19, Eph 1:18-20, Ps 24:7-9, Eph 2:1-6
