How To Establish a Spiritual BASE for Your Life

How To Establish a Spiritual BASE for Your Life

Believe    Admit     Switch       Express

 

 Believe God made you to love you and live for His purposes.

“Everything got started in God and finds its purpose in Him”

“Long before God laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind,

and settled on us as the focus of His love.”

2 Cor 5:5, Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has

given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

 

Admit we live for ourselves, then accept God’s free forgiveness,

paid for by Jesus.

“We’re all like sheep who’ve wandered off and gotten lost.  We’ve all

done our own thing, gone our own way.  But God has piled all of our

sins, everything we’ve done wrong on Jesus.”

“Jesus personally carried the load of our sins in His own body when He

died on the cross so we can be finished with sin and live a good life

from now on.”

Isa 53:4-7, Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we

considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he

was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his

wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own

way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

 

Switch to living for God’s purposes for my life.

“Give yourselves to God, and surrender your whole being to Him to be

used for righteous purposes.”

Ps 37:5-6, Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your

cause like the noonday sun.

 

Express your desire for Jesus to be the Lord or leader of your life.

“You will be saved, if you honestly say ’Jesus is Lord’, and if you believe

with all of your heart that God raised Him from death.”

Rom 10:8, But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth

and in your heart,” (13) for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the

Lord will be saved.”
