Gospel Meeting 15/01/2017

The reading was Ephesians 2 vs.1-10.
The theory of evolution is convenient for those not wishing to be accountable to God.
We are created in His image.
1/ Alienated from God.
2/ Confused about God.
3/ Spiritually dead to God.

1/ We are cut off from God separated from Him. People either don't know or don't care.
Mankind is different from the animal world, we have an immortal soul and God wants a relationship with Him. We have the freedom to choose, but Satan God's enemy influenced Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden and the fellowship was broken.
Romans 3 vs.10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

2/ People are confused about God, baffled. To us who believe it makes perfect sense, Jesus, His teaching, His word.
Psalm 14 vs.1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
They know God exists they just don't want to be answerable to Him.

3/  People are spiritually dead towards God there is no restraint, anarchy.
John 14 vs.6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1/ Reconciliation.
2/ Illumination.
3/ Regeneration.

1/ Jesus brings us back to God, He is the mediator. He has done it all for us He bore the penalty for our sin on the cross. BE RECONCILED.

2/ We need to be enlightened, by receiving the truth in Jesus He is the truth. GET ILLUMINATED.

3/ Be born of God through Christ Jesus. Regenerated, quickened, spiritual life, Born again, resurrected.

Colossians 1 vs.20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
