This World Is Not My Home

This world is not my home

I’m just passing through

my treasures are laid up

somewhere beyond the

blue.

The angels beckon me

from Heaven’s open door

and I can’t feel at home

in this world anymore.

O Lord you know I have

no friend like you if

heaven’s not my home

then Lord what will I do?

The angels beckon

me from heaven’s open

door and I can’t feel at

home in this world

anymore.

They’re all expecting me

and that’s one thing I

know. My savior

pardoned me and now

I onward go.

I know He’ll take

me through though I am

weak and poor and I can’t

feel at home in this world

anymore.

O Lord you know I have

no friend like you if

heaven’s not my home

then lord what will I do?

The angels beckon

me from Heaven’s open

door and I can’t feel at

home in this world

anymore.

Just up in Glory Land

we’ll live eternally. The

saints on every hand are

shouting victory.

Their song of sweetest

praise drifts back from

heaven’s shore and I can’t

feel at home in this world

anymore.

O Lord you know I have

no friend like you if

heaven’s not my home

then Lord what will I do?

The angels beckon

me from Heaven’s open

door and I can’t feel at

home in this world

anymore.

A Lie to Reject“I am not a sinner”

A Truth to Embrace“The only acceptable

atonement for sin is Christ's death.”

“The only acceptable atonement

for sin is Christ's death.” The Biblical argument:Leviticus 1:1-4The stage is setRomans 7:14,24 - The need is real

Romans 7:25; II Corinthians 5:21 - Christ is the answer!Romans 3:24,25; Ephesians 2:4,5 – Christ, Our RedeemerHebrews 10:12 – The work is done.

“The only acceptable atonement

for sin is Christ's death.”

The logical arguments: The Messianic Prophecies1. Born an Israelite, son of Abraham - Genesis 22:18/Galatians 3:26.

2. A descendant of Isaac, not Ishamael - Genesis 21:12/Luke 3:23,243. A descendant of Jacob - Numbers 24:17/Luke 3:23,244. From the tribe of Judah - Genesis 49:10/Luke 3:23-33

“The only acceptable atonement

for sin is Christ's death.”

The logical arguments: The Messianic Prophecies5. From the family of Jesse - Isaiah 11:1/Luke 3 6. From the house and lineage of David - Jeremiah 23:5/Luke 37. In the town of Bethlehem- Micah 5:2/Matthew 2:18. Preceded by a messenger- Isaiah 40:3/Matthew 3:1,2

“The only acceptable atonement

for sin is Christ's death.”

The logical arguments: The Messianic Prophecies9. Begin in Galilee - Isaiah 9:1/Matthew 4:12-1410. Teach using parables- Psalm 78:2/Matthew 13:3411. Enter Jerusalem on a donkey- Zechariah 9:9/Matthew 21:212. "Clean house" at the temple - Psalm 69:9/John 2:15,16

MESSIANIC PROPHECIES

In one day, no fewer than 29 Messianic prophecies were fulfilled;

all of which were spoken 500 or more years earlier!

At least 60 major Old Testamentprophecies were fulfilled; all

Of which were made 400 yearsbefore His birth.

“The only acceptable atonement

for sin is Christ's death.”

The logical arguments: The Probability FactorIs it possible that the details of Jesus' life just happened to coincide with all of those Old Testament prophecies?

The probability of just EIGHT prophecies being fulfilled is 1 in 10 to the seventeenth power! (1 followed by 17 zeros) Peter Stoner - American Scientific Affiliation

“Life Change”

“If we truly believe that the only acceptable atonement for sin is

Christ's death”…We will:"Realize that you and I were on the mindand within the heart of a loving God theday that Jesus sacrificed himself on thecross.""As alone as you may feel at times in your lifeyou are not forgotten by God."

“Life Change”

“If we truly believe that the only acceptable atonement for sin is

Christ's death”…

We will:3. Pattern our lives so that they reflect the love God has bestowed on us.4. Find purpose and true joy in living, despite the circumstances.

Two Dimensions of God's Love

God's love sacrifices...Comfort - the planting of sacrificial love in another person reaps the harvest of joy.Possessions - giving has nothing to do with wealth.Time - "a gift is an excuse for notgiving yourself" Emerson

Two Dimensions of God's LoveGod's love affirms..."Dealing with difficulties goes with the territory of living life as a human"."We don't have to understand exactly what a person is going through in

order to give them affirming love."
