13 November 2016 - As Jesus Is, So Are We In This World - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online2017 will be the 500th year since the Reformation. The Reformation is nothing more than the restoration of the gospel of grace. The Bible from Genesis to Revelation is all God-breathed. God used secretaries and their personalities to write the books of the Bible. In the Gospel of John, "the disciple whom Jesus loved" is written 5 times at the end of the book, and it's written by the man who lived in Jesus' bosom (love). "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" is God-breathed but it's antiquated and not for our time - it's not the gospel. The Hebrew calendar has in this year 777. In the Gregorian calendar, next year is the 500th year since the Reformation. God uses things of no repute and low esteem in the eyes of man to confound the great and educated. The heroes in Jesus' parables are the lost, the last and the least. It's not how much faith you have, it's who your faith is in. If you turn to Jesus, He says that you have great faith.
Jesus is now seated at the Father's right hand and one day He will stand up and come back for us.
I John 4:17 - God's love has culminated in our lives because of what Jesus has done for us. The day of judgement refers to the future event of the "Bema Seat of Christ", where God will give us rewards. At the Bema Seat of Christ we will be standing before Jesus in our glorified bodies. Will you present Jesus - gold, silver and precious stones to God, or man's effort - hay, straw? We will never be judged because Jesus was judged in our place at the cross. We are not standing there to be condemned - The Judge is our righteousness. We will never go through the Great White Throne Judgment - where unbelievers are condemned to the lake of fire. The word "judgement" in the verse means "crisis". “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.” (I John 4:17 NKJV) Jesus is seated down at the right hand of the Father as (representing) us. Have the "Throne-Life attitude". The Father wants us to sit down and rest until He puts all our enemies at our feet as our footstools.

Since there's no aging in heaven, He shouldn't look old.)
