SET APART THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD
 
I. Greetings to AIM-CPWC Family
II. Intro about the Pandemic / ECQ / GCQ
III. Spiritually Quarantine – SET APART – The Value of Being Chosen By God through Jesus Christ.
a. 2 Timothy 2:21 (ESV), "Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, SET APART as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work."
i. SET APART
1. SAVED
2. EMPOWERED
3. TRANSFORMED
4. ADOPTED
5. PROTECTED
6. ACCEPTED
7. REDEEMED
8. TOTALLY LOVED BY GOD
b. 1 Peter 2:9-10 (ESV), "9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."
i. CoVid19 patients are quarantined so that they will not contaminate others. But to be spiritually quarantined, God set us apart, in order NOT to be contaminated from the world but to PURIFY US continually from all unrighteousness.
ii. Indeed, because of God’s love, Jesus Christ became our RIGHTEOUSNESS, SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION (1 Corinthians 1:30)
IV. S-E-T APART THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
a. Declaration: We’ve been SET APART through JESUS CHRIST, meaning, we have been…
i. SAVED
a. Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV), "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
• Salvation is not a result of your hard-earned good works.
• Salvation was given as ‘The Gift of God’.
• Salvation can be received by grace by believing and surrendering our faith in Christ Jesus.
b. Acts 16:31, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
c. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
ii. EMPOWERED
a. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, "8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"
b. Isaiah 40:29, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”
c. Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
iii. TRANSFORMED
a. Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
• Having a transformed & renewed mind is to DISCOVER the Kingdom Principles of God.
• You shift your paradigm from worldly concept to the concept of the Kingdom of God.
• Cf. Romans 14:17, “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
b. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
V. CONCLUSION
a. The month of June, 2020 is about The Nature of God.
b. And we can only discover and experience the Nature of God when we are SAVED, EMPOWERED, & TRANSFORMED Through our Lord Jesus Christ by surrendering our FAITH & TRUST in Him.
c. And because of your Faith and Trust in God...
• Jesus Christ will become your BREAD & LIVING WATER when you are hungry & thirsty.
• Jesus Christ will become your COMFORT when you are lonely & despair.
• Jesus Christ is your PEACE when you are tense & anxious.
• Jesus Christ is your REST when you are weary & burden.
• Jesus Christ will be the source of your JOY when you feel sad & down casted.
• Jesus Christ will become your STRENGTH when you are weak & feel defeated.
• Jesus Christ is your WISDOM when you are confused in life.
• Jesus Christ is your PROTECTION when you are in danger.
• Jesus Christ will be your SUPPLY when you are in need.
