A “Church All Out” is empowered by the Holy Spirit to make a difference in the world because:
1) Our identity is found in Christ. (vs. 11-15)
a. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- .” (Ephesians 2:8 - NIV)
Grace – “I am a recipient of God’s grace and I can show that grace to others.”
Faith – “I know Christ and will remain steady in him.”
2) We see others in the light of Christ. (vs. 16-19)
a. Created in the image of God.
b. Called into relationship with Christ.
c. Indwelled by the Holy Spirit.
d. Empowered to be a minister of reconciliation in a lost and dying world.
3) We live out our salvation as ambassadors of Christ. (vs. 20-21)
