The Final Four

 The Final Four

 

The Lord gives strength to his people;
    the Lord blesses his people with peace.
 Psalm 29:11

 

 

1.    Live at Peace with God. 

 

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:1

 

·      God initiated it.

 

 

·      Jesus affirmed it.

 

 

·      We must choose it.

 

 

 

2.    Live at Peace with Others

 

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18

 

·      It makes life enjoyable.

 

 

 

·      Not everyone choses to be enjoyable.

 

 

 

·      Make every effort to be enjoyable.

 

 

 

 

3.    Live at Peace with Yourself 

 

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

 

·      His Handiwork – 

 

 

·      For Good works – 

 

 

Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment…Romans 12:3

 

·      Sober judgment -  

 

 

 

4.    Live Outside the Lines

 

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. 

Romans 12:2

 

·      Do not be conformed

 

 

 

·      To the pattern

 

 

·      Of this world

 

 

·      Be transformed
