Tell Us Plainly ...

John 10:22-31

In our scripture reading this morning we read where Jesus was asked by the Pharisees to tell them plainly, yes or no, was He the Son of God. Jesus replied to them that he had already both told and had shown them that he was indeed the Son of God. And shortly after he stated this they started picking up stones and throwing them at Him. He told them plainly, but they didn't like it. Ezekiel was told the importance of telling it plainly.

(Ezek 3:18-19) "When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. {19} Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul."

This morning, I want to speak plainly about the major problem of this church and of most Christians today.

I will get to the point. Plainly speaking, many of us do not love the Lord. We sing about it, and even give testimony about it, but we don't live like it!

I. Let's Start Out By Defining What Is Love For God?

II. How We Reveal Our Failure to Love God.

III. Thank God for the Faithful.

God loves us…so much that He gave Jesus Christ to die on Calvary that we might have eternal life. We can be born again by placing our faith and trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ. If you have never placed your faith in Him the invitation is for you to come and receive Him as Savior today.

Christian, this morning the invitation is for us to come and commit ourselves to loving Him as Jesus tells us. Will you come today.

Whatever the need…the invitation is to come.
