Is God Good With You?

"

Jesus draws a line in the sand with the religious people of His day. He lets them know that though they may think they are good with God, He lets them know that God is not good with them. However, He lets them know how they can become good with God. His answer infuriates them, yet He makes it clear that He tells them so that they can be saved. It may be a tough pill to swallow to hear the kind of truth that offends us. But it is better for us to hear hard truth rather than sugar coated lies. How do you know for sure that God is good with you? Is your answer based on your own self-assessment, or self-declaration, or what you just "think" sounds good? Or is it based on something more reliable, with evidence to back up the claim? Jesus calls upon 5 witnesses to back up His claim on how to be good with God, and we look at the first of these witnesses in this sermon. ABOUT THIS SERIES: The Gospel of John was written "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing in Him you may have life in His Name" (John 20.30). The Apostle John, as an eyewitness and close friend of Jesus', desires for us to behold His beauty, love, and glory, and believe in His power and willingness to being forgiveness and life. As we journey through the Gospel of John, we will behold the life, teachings, works, and ministry of Jesus, and will hear straight from Him who He said He is, so that we would more deeply put our hope and trust in the Man who is God.
