I Don’t Live There Anymore

(Matthew 7:1-5, James 3:17, Hebrews 8:12, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Luke 17:3, 1 Corinthians 11:28-29, James 4:8, John 8:34, Galatians 5:1, Hebrews 4:12, Matthew 24:35, John 15:11, Malachi 3:10, Colossians 3:13, Philippians 3:12-14, 2 Timothy 4:7, Isaiah 43:18-19)

Philippians 3:12-14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

We have to make judgements every day of our lives in order to live a life of Christian values.  We just have to be careful that we are M____________ judgements and not S________________ in judgement.

Seven point self-examination:

1. Am I C_______________ to God now than I was last week/month/year?
2. Am I a S______________ to anything?
3. Does God’s Word L___________ in me?
4. Do I E______________ my relationship with God?
5. Am I F__________________ to God or am I R_________________ God?
6. Who do I need to F_____________? Whose F_________________ do I need to seek?
7. Am I truly the N_________ creation I am called to be or am I just R_____________________ the old me?

Take Away Lesson: Don’t look for any of us at an old address because we don’t live there anymore.

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