II Corintians 5:17-21
I. Product of Salvation - New Creature (v.17)
1. Purity (old things passed away)
2. Progression (become new)
II. Purpose of Salvation (v.18)
1. Praise God - bring honour and glory to Christ; Let your
light shine
2. Proclaim the Gospel (v.18b) v.19 committed unto us
v.21 we are ambassadors
III. Plan of Salvation - (How do you proclaim the Gospel?)
(1. We are sinners, 2. Our own righteousness will not
gain us
forgiveness from
God, 3. Jesus is sinless and the only one
righteouse enough
to gain God's approval. 4. We must accept
the righteousness of
Christ.)
Our life proclaims the Gospel, Our Church Proclaims the
Gospel, Our God proclaims the Gospel.
