Amazing Facts – session 26

• We love God because He first loves us
• You can’t obey God if you don’t love God.  You can’t love God if you don’t know God.
• All love relationships need commitment (loyalty) and trust
• Our sins separate us from God – we naturally run from God
• Sin pleasure is temporary
• The Holy Spirit represents tremendous power;  God gives it for obedience and a pure heart
• God’s principles are for our protection and for our enhanced happiness
• If you’re truly a Christian, there’s a transformation that has and is taking place.  The things you used to love, you may now hate, and the things you hated you may now love.
• Stay as far away from the world as you can – don’t tip-toe with it
• Why would you want to fool around with playing on the edge of the will of God, when you could be so close to "falling off the cliff" and back into the world
• Proverbs 23:7  –  As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
• You become what you worship
• Music that you’re attracted to isn’t necessarily right for you – would Jesus listen to it?  Are the words and the music godly?
• Dancing is not evil – as long as it’s the type that you can do with the same sex (man with a man, woman with a woman – or not sexually oriented)
• Do the movies you watch, music you listen to, the way you dance make someone question your spiritual commitment?
•  People should not notice what is on a Christian, they should notice what’s in a Christian – even jewelry is worldly.  The purpose for clothing is modesty, not display.  Does God want us to wear our money?
• You would not even enjoy Heaven unless your heart is pure
• Act in love for God – make choices because of your love for God
