LIVING IN PEACE
From Foreigners to Friends
• Foreigners � Gentiles had no hope of a Messiah,
or a Savior� God promised to bless the Jews
(Genesis 17:7-9)� They weren’t meant to keep God to
themselves.
From Foreigners to Friends
• Friends � God sent Christ to bring a new
promise • This was always God’s plan (Jeremiah
31:31-34)� Now anyone can draw near to God and know
that he is their Messiah.
One Humanity • Peace is Equality � The Children of Israel failed their
mission� they became prideful and kept the
message for themselves. • This is no different than what God asks of
you and I!
� Christ came to end the separation. • He created an equality of all (Galatians
3:26-28)
One Humanity • Peace is Access� The Best peace that Christ
provided was the peace between us and God • we have the ability to stand before
God forgiven and righteous. (Romans 5:1-2)
One Family • The Family of God� It’s LIFE CHANGING!� you are being trained to be a
dwelling of God. • You become like God as you grow • It’s as if there’s a family resemblance
� You’re now a member of a household.• Christ is your heavenly father
One Family • Living in Peace � It can be overwhelming to realize
that the Spirit of God dwells inside of you. • And THAT you are slowly being
changed to become more like Christ.
� Remember, change is a process. • Don’t be discouraged if things don’t
change all at once.
