THE LORD’S SUPPER
The Cross Gives All Mankind Hope
JOH 19:30
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
1JO 4:8
The one who does not love (unconditionally) does not know God, for God is (unconditional) love.
EZE 28:15a
“You (Satan…the first angelic creature) were blameless in your ways from the day you were created…”
GEN 1:27
God (the Son) created man(kind) in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male (Adam) and female (Isha) He created them.
EZE 28:15b
…(you were blameless) until unrighteousness was found in you (Satan).
GEN 3:6
When the woman (Isha) saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband (Adam) with her, and he ate.
EZE 28:16
I (the Lord Jesus Christ) have cast you (Satan) as profane From the mountain of God.
GEN 2:17
“…from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely (die spiritually then you will) die (physically).”
GEN 3:7
Then the eyes of both of them (Adam and Isha) were opened, and they knew that they were naked (because they sinned); and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings (to redeem themselves).
ISA 64:6
For all of us have become like one who is unclean (a woman who is menstruating), and all our (self) righteous deeds are like a filthy garment (a used tampon)…
1CO 15:22
For as in (our position in union with) Adam all (human creatures) die (spiritually from physical birth)…
ROM 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man (Adam, the) sin (nature) entered into the world, and (spiritual) death through (the) sin (nature), and so (spiritual) death spread to all men, because all (mankind were considered to have) sinned (when Adam sinned) —
COL 1:19
For it was (God) the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him (the Lord Jesus Christ)…
COL 1:20
…and through Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His Cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
COL 2:13
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions…
COL 2:14
…having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the Cross.
THE LORD’S SUPPER
Enjoying the Elements
1CO 11:23-24
For I (Paul) received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, thatthe Lord Jesus (Christ) in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; //and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (and keeps on being) My body, which is (broken) for you; (keep on) do(ing) this in (the purpose of) remembrance of Me.”
1CO 11:25-26
In the same way He (the Lord Jesus Christ) took the cup (representing His death on the Cross) also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant (testament) in (the sphere of) My blood (in spiritual and physical death); (keep on) do(ing) this, as often as you drink it, in (the purpose of) remembrance of Me.//For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
LORD’S SUPPER SONG
Give Thanks
MAT 28:5
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.”
MAT 28:6
He (the Lord Jesus Christ) is not here, for He has risen (He is resurrected from the Dead), just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
THE BELIEVER’S CONFIDENCE
I believe that God’s work on my behalf is finished.
I believe that I am perfectly acceptable in God’s Eyes
I believe that I will live with God for all eternity
JOH 19:30
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
Unlimited Atonement Salvation is open to everyone
JOH 3:16
“For God (the Father) so loved the world (all mankind unconditionally), that He gave His only begotten (uniquely born) Son (the Lord Jesus Christ), that WHOEVER believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
Redemption
The penalty of sin is paid for by the Lord Jesus Christ
1PE 1:18-19
…knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,//but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless,
the blood of Christ.
Expiation
The certificate of debt for sin and the guilt for sin is cancelled because the Lord Jesus Christ made amends for us…
COL 2:13-14
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,//having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the Cross.
Regeneration
You are born again…the spiritual birth
TIT 3:5
He (the Lord Jesus Christ) saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in (self) righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and (by the) renewing
by (God) the Holy Spirit…
Righteousness
You receive the imputation of absolute righteousness at the moment of salvation
2CO 5:21
He (God the Father) made Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) who knew no sin (nature) to be (the perfect payment for) sin on our behalf, so that we might become the (absolute) righteousness of God in (union with) Him.
Justification
You are declared righteous throughout the heavens
ROM 5:1
Therefore, having been justified by (means of) faith (by being legally declared by God to be in the sphere of God’s absolute righteousness as an established and irrevocable fact in the past), we (believers in Christ now) have peace with God (the Father) through our Lord Jesus Christ…
Propitiation
God the Father is totally satisfied and ONLY satisfied with the Lord Jesus Christ’s salvation work on our behalf
1JO 2:1-2
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;//and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
Union with Christ
God the Holy Spirit places us into union with Christ at the moment of salvation…a union we can never lose
ROM 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life (that comes from being) in (union with) Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of (the) sin (nature) and (the law) of (spiritual) death.
Reconciliation
God holds nothing against us…we are at peace with God
2CO 5:20
Therefore, we (believers in Christ) are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us (because He is); we beg you (unbelievers) on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God (as we are).
Eternally Secure
You cannot ever, under any circumstance, EVER lose your salvation
JOH 10:28
…and I (the lord Jesus Christ) give eternal life to them (believers in Christ), and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
Eternally Secure
You cannot ever, under any circumstance
lose your salvation
ROM 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,//nor height, nor depth, nor any
other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
THE BELIEVER’S CONFIDENCE
I believe that God’s work on
my behalf is finished.
I believe that I am perfectly
acceptable in God’s Eyes
I believe that I will live with
God for all eternity
