“Thankful for the Trials” James 1.1-4 Morning Sermon from 11/24/2024 Little Stevens Creek Baptist Church Edgefield, SC Reverend David Lyda Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright © 1979, 1980, 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. ------------------------------ DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN? ∙ Jesus provides the only way to heaven through His sacrificial death on the cross. There is no other way to heaven. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4.12) ------------------------------ HOW TO BE SAVED ∙ The only way to go to heaven when you die is to admit that you are a sinner, ask God for forgiveness of your sins, accept that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and returned to life 3 days later, and follow God by turning away from sin. “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10.9) ∙ Salvation (being saved from sin) is a free gift from God (the gift is called grace) that God gives to all who believe in Jesus (belief is called faith). Doing good things (called works) cannot get you to heaven, because everybody still has sin that can only be forgiven by accepting Jesus’ death on the cross for your sins. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2.8-9) ∙ No matter what you’ve done in life, God loves you and wants you to live in heaven forever with Him (2 Peter 3.9). Are you willing to ask God for forgiveness of your sins? “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3.16) ------------------------------ ∙ GOD. There is only one God (Deuteronomy 6.4), and He exists in 3 persons. the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3.16-17). He is uncreated and has always existed (Psalm 90.2). ∙ PEOPLE. God created all things (Revelation 4.11), and He created people for a special relationship with Him (Genesis 1.27). ∙ SIN. God is perfect (Leviticus 19.2), but people are not perfect and do/think bad things called sin (Romans 3.23). ∙ SEPARATION. Sin separates us from our perfect God (Isaiah 59.2) and from perfect heaven (1 Corinthians 6.9-10). ∙ HEAVEN or HELL. God loves us so much that He has made a way to heaven through Jesus (John 3.16), but those that reject Jesus will go to hell (Matthew 13.41-43). ∙ SACRIFICE. Jesus died on a cross and took the punishment for our sins as a sacrifice (1 Peter 2.24) and returned to life 3 days later, showing that Jesus defeated death (1 Corinthians 15.3-8). ∙ GOD the SON. Jesus defeated death as the only person that ever lived a perfect life (Hebrews 4.14-15), because He is God the Son who became a person (John 1.14). Jesus is fully God and fully human. ∙ SAVIOR. Jesus is the Savior (Luke 2.11), the Christ (Matthew 16.16), the promised Messiah (John 1.41, 45). He alone can save you from your sins (Acts 4.12).
