“A matter of life and death”

Pastor Brad Faler—June 9, 2013

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled.” Matthew 5:6

· The disciple of Jesus Christ will have an all-consuming, a matter of life and death desire to be in “right relationship with God” (dikaiosune).

Our hunger and thirst for righteousness is a matter of life and death.

· The disciple of Jesus Christ will have an all-consuming, a matter of life and death desire to be in right relationship with God that leads to “right living” (dikaiosune).

Our hunger and thirst reveal our treasures, and our treasures reveal our hearts.

· The disciple of Jesus Christ will have an all-consuming, a matter of life and death desire for “justice” (dikaiosune).

Our hunger and thirst for righteousness is a hunger and thirst for all righteousness; for total righteousness.

BIG WORDS quiz (match the word with the correct definition)

Justification _B_

Sanctification _C_

Atonement _A_

A. Payment for sin allowing humans to be reconciled with God.

B. The process by which one is made acceptable in the sight of God through faith, believing that Jesus paid for human sin through his death.

C. The process of growing continually closer to God and taking on his characteristics.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Galatians 3:26-27

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:22-24

Have I been justified? (Made acceptable before God through faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection?)

Proof: Do I care about sin or not really?

Is it my heart’s desire to be sanctified? (To grow continually closer to God and to take on his characteristics?)
