Sermon Jam - Hebrews 4


What does God say about you through our High Preist who has passed through the heavens?

YOU ARE VALUABLE

He says, I am the Creator and you are my creation.

I breathed into your nostrils the breath of life (Genesis 2:7).

I created you in my own image (Genesis 1:27).

My eyes saw your unformed substance (Psalm 139:16).

I knit you together in your mother's womb (Psalm 139:13).

I know the number of hairs on your head, and before a word is on your tongue I know it (Matthew 10:30; Psalm 139:4).

You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

You are more valuable than many sparrows (Matthew 10:31).

I have given you dominion over all sheep and oxen and all beasts of the field and birds of the heavens and fish of the sea (Psalm 8:6–8; Genesis 1:26, 28).

I have crowned you with glory and honor as the pinnacle and final act of the six days of creation (Psalm 8:5; Genesis 1:26).

—————-

However, from the very beginning, you exchanged the truth about me for a lie.

You worshiped and served created things rather than me, the Creator (Romans 1:25).

You have sinned and fallen short of my glory (Romans 3:23).

Just as I said to Adam and Eve, the penalty for your sin is death (Romans 6:23; Genesis 2:17).

And in your sin, you were spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1).

You were children of wrath, living as enemies to me (Ephesians 2:3; Romans 5:10).

You turned aside from me. You became corrupt. There is none who does good, not even one (Psalm 14:2–3).

What you deserve is my righteous judgment (Psalm 7:11–12).

And yet, in my great love, I gave my only Son, that all those who believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

While you were still sinners, Christ died for you.

While you were still hostile toward me, you were reconciled to me by the death of my Son (Romans 5:8, 10).

Sin doesn't have the last word. Grace does (Romans 5:20).

Now everyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved (Romans 10:13).

You who have believed are born again (1 Peter 1:3).

I have adopted you (Ephesians 1:5).

You are children of God, heirs of God (1 John 3:2; Romans 8:16–17).

You are no longer orphans. You belong to me (John 14:18; 1 Corinthians 6:19).

And I love you as a perfect Father (1 John 3:1; Luke 15:20–24).

YOU ARE NEW

In my eyes, you are a brand new creation. The old has passed away; the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Sin is no longer your master, for you died to sin and are now alive to me (Romans 6:11; Ephesians 2:4–5).

You are finally free from the slavery of sin and death.

There is now no condemnation for you (Romans 8:1–2).

All your sins are forgiven (1 John 1:9).

All your unrighteousness has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7, 9).

You are now righteous in my sight with the very righteousness of my perfect Son (Romans 4:5).

You've been saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8).

You've been justified by faith (Romans 5:1).

You are utterly secure in me; nothing will be able to separate you from my love in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:39).

No one is able to snatch you out of my hand (John 10:29).

And I will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

YOU HAVE MY SPIRIT

You not only have a new Father, but also a new family of brothers and sisters (Luke 8:21).

You are now part of the people of God (1 Peter 2:9).

And together the life you now live is by faith in my Son (Galatians 2:20).

Look to Jesus. Keep your eyes on him. He is the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Christ is in you by my Spirit, and you are in Christ (John 15:5; Colossians 1:27).

Stay close to Jesus. Abide in him (John 15:4).

For your life is found in him (John 14:6; Colossians 3:3–4).

To live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21).

Don't live by your own power or understanding. No, live by my Spirit within you (Zechariah 4:6; Proverbs 3:5).

Remember, I have given you the Holy Spirit to be with you and in you (Romans 5:5; John 14:17).

The Spirit will guide you into all truth, help you to obey me, and empower you to do my work (John 16:7, 13; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:16).

YOU WILL BE TRANSFORMED

As you seek me and see more of my glory, I am transforming you into the image of my Son (2 Corinthians 3:18; Exodus 33:18).

One day you will be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet sound (1 Corinthians 15:52).

When Jesus appears, you will be like him, because you shall see him as he is (1 John 3:2; Romans 8:29).

You will be delivered from your body of death through Jesus Christ, and your dwelling place will be with me (Romans 7:24–25; John 14:3).

And I will wipe away every tear from your eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore (Revelation 21:3–4).

You will drink from the spring of the water of life without payment, and I myself will make for you a feast of rich food and well-aged wine (Revelation 21:6; Isaiah 25:6).

You will enter my rest, inherit the kingdom I've prepared for you, and step into fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore (Hebrews 4:9–11; Matthew 25:34; Psalm 16:11).

But most of all, you will see my face and be with me where I am (Revelation 22:4; John 14:3).

YOU REPRESENT ME

Therefore, walk in a manner worthy of your calling (Ephesians 4:1).

You are no longer darkness, but light in my Son. Walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8).

You are the light of the world, a city set on a hill (Matthew 5:14).

I have called you (2 Peter 1:3).

I have chosen you (Revelation 17:14).

You are now a saint, a servant, a steward, and a soldier (Romans 1:7; Acts 26:16; 1 Peter 4:10; 2 Timothy 2:3).

You are a witness and a worker (Acts 1:8; Ephesians 2:10).

Through Jesus you are victorious (1 Corinthians 15:57).

You have a glorious future (Romans 8:18).

You are a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20).

You are an ambassador, the highest ranking official from a foreign land (2 Corinthians 5:20).

THATS WHAT THE HIGHET AUTHORITY IN THE COSMOS SAYS!
