The Simplicity of Christianity 2 Corinthians 11 3

The Simplicity of Christianity 2 Corinthians 11 (3) But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

A Simple Promise for Eternal Life � For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, (apollymi = destroy) but have eternal life. (aiōnios of Zoe) describes quality of the age � 1 John 5 (11 -12) 11 and the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal (aiōnios) life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; (Zoe) he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life (Zoe). � 1 Cor 15(45) so also it is written, “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL. ” The last Adam became a life-giving (zō-o-poi-e'-ō) spirit. � II Tim 1(10) but it now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life (ZOE) and immortality (Aftharsea) to light through the gospel. � Immortality (ä-fthär-sē'-ä)= perpetual incorruption the state of continuing forever.

The Simple Prayer for Salvation Romans 10(9 -10) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in Salvation. 1 Cor 15(17) and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Jn. 16(8 -11) 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; � Concerning sin-- because they do not believe in Me; � And concerning righteousness-- because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; � And concerning judgment (krinō, )-- because the ruler of this world has been judged. (Krisis) Krinō = called out to question Krisis= the process of separating unto a sentence of judgment

A Simple Rule of His Judgment John 3(17) For God did not send the Son into the world to judge (krinō the world, but that the world might be saved (Sozo) through Him. � (Krinō)-called out to question John 3(18) He who believes in Him is not judged (Krinō); he who does not believe has been judged (Krinō) already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (this is sin) John 3(19) This is the judgment, (Krisis) that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. � (Krisis-) the process of distinguishing and separating unto judgment

A Simple Rule of Our Judgment Matt 7(1) Do not judge (Krinō) so that you will not be judged. (Krino) called out to question. Matt 7(2) for in the way you judge; (Krima, Krinō) you will be judged; (Krino) and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. �(Krinō-Krima) A calling out to pass a verdict of condemnation �Gal 6 (1) Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; {each one} looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. (Pa-rä’-zo means to be examined) called into question

A Simple List of Instructions � Matt 5(39) But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. � Mark 11(25) Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive your transgressions. � Matt 5(37) But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil. � Matt 5(41) Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. � Matt 5(42) Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. � Matt. 5(44) But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. � Luke. 6(28) Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. � Jn. 15(12) This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

A Simple Promise and Commission � Acts 1(4 -5) Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which, ” He said, “you heard of from Me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now''. � Acts 1(8) but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth. � Matt 28 (19 -20) Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
