2017-02-26-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning, February 26th,  2017 in the 10:30 AM service.   Scripture: 2nd Thessalonians 3:1-3; John 14:20, 6:37; Hebrews 4:9-11; Colossians 3:3   Notes: - God removed death through Jesus. - Salvation is that plan of God whereby He looked at a cursed dead world and chose to raise up people and remove the death of sin. - He gave us eternal life that we might know Him through eternity. - It’s the pre-creation thought of God in order to do this that Jesus would be born and live a life and die a death for God to receive sinners. - We have no hope and no promises without God. - A sinner is not what we do but what we are. - We were born in sin. - A free gift of salvation comes to all and are made righteous. - No commendation to those who are in Christ Jesus. - Jesus continually speaks to the Father for us. - In Christ Jesus we now live. - The gift is a new you. - You can’t lose it. It is the gift of never dying.
