This week Steve talked about what it means to be “more than conquerors” and how to stay in the love of God.

Gospel-Centered: Staying in the Love of God

(Romans 8:35-39)

We are to learn to live a Gospel-centered life where the love of God in Christ Jesus consumes and compels us to be victors through all of life’s struggles in our service to God.

When we live with a peace-time mentality rather than a war-time mentality we minimalize God’s love and sacrifice

John 16:33 – “In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart, I have overcome the world.”

1 John 5:4 –5 – “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory (same grk word form as Rm 8:37) that has overcome the world – our faith. “

The love of God is His total working for our salvation through His Son Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection – it is the Gospel Good News! His love is sure and firm, but what about our love for God – how does that factor into our ability to joyfully walk through life’s hardest issues with a victory mentality?

The only way to be victorious in life is to stay in the love of God through Jesus Christ.

This is how to stay Gospel-Centered in the love of God:

Religion ——————— GOSPEL———————– Irreligion

(Relationship)

Legalistic———————GOSPEL————————Relativistic

(Obedience)

Certainty———————GOSPEL————————Uncertainty

(Trust)

Conditional——————GOSPEL————————Unconditional

(we need to earn it) (Love) (doesn’t matter what I do)
