A New Beginning

(2 Corinthians 5:17, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, Hebrews 13:4, Hebrews 10:24-25, 2 Peter 2:1-9, Matthew 7:13-14,

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

When we become members of the Body of Christ, when we become saved, we are N__________ C_____________.  We have a new beginning.

There is a great lie being taught all around the world.

The great lie: You can become a C_____________ without C_____________ who you are.

And the thing that so many want to hear is that they can be a Christian and go to heaven W________________ having to really change or without having to D_______ anything.

People will search long and hard to find a church that will L_________ to them in exactly the way they want, and they will be T______________ for it. 

Basically, people want a church that does not make them do A_____________ but guarantees them E_______________.

There is a problem with a church like this.

None of them, not even one, will L________ you to H________________.

Take away lesson:  Don’t allow yourself to be fooled by the great lie.  Seek Jesus in faith and in truth and make sure of your salvation.

Matthew 7:13-14 ¹³ “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ¹⁴ But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
