Neighborhood 6/10/18 Communion GRACE

Grace

Romans 8

:38
"You are as secure in God as God is secure in Heaven"
No condemnation; no seperation.

Security in Heaven has nothing to do with you rove for Christ, but all to do with Christ's love for you.

Even if you invent a sin no one else has done, Gd wouldn't flicker.

Our love is nice, but it is small.  Gods love matters much more.  Stop putting human limitations, or expectations, on God's love.

How you feel doesn't affect how God sees you.

:26-39
God is irrevocable and unapologetically FOR you.
"So who could stand against?"

**You can hurt every other part of me, but you can't touch the love of God that's FOR me.**

I love the moments in the bible where God sounds like a total badass.  He reveals himself as gentle, and empathetic, and just, honest, and unchanging...but there are times when he is final, firm, and clear.  When I can use those verse to protect myself, it builds confidence.  When I feel broken, and used, and gross, and touched, and dirty, and hurt, and rejected, and shameful, I can tell myself, and those who I battle, that every part of me can be hurt or fractured, but God's love for me is untouchable, therefore making me unbreakable.

For the saved, Death is your birthday for immortality.
Devil's army are his bags of death, guilt, shame, grief, obstacles..

"I will build my church in the Gates of Hell"

Jesus: "Do not fear soldier, I have not brought you here to let you fall now"  Worth it!
