So JT What does that title bring up to your mind? ((JT ANSWERS))

8. Bob – POINT: Anyway you look at the salvation we have in the Lord Jesus Christ it’s a great salvation. Consider how Paul put it:

1 Timothy 1:15 (KJV 1900) — 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

We have two questions today:

1. Why do you think it is necessary to review and talk about the greatness of our salvation?

14. Bob

Consider the words of admonition again from Hebrews chapter two:

Hebrews 2:1–4 (ESV) — 1 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

2. (JT) What does the Bible say about purgatory?

Bob:

In Catholic belief, purgatory is a temporary state of purification for souls after death, before they can enter heaven. It's a place where those who die in God's friendship but with imperfections are cleansed of sin and its consequences, preparing them for the joy of heaven.

Hebrews 9:27 (ESV) — 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,

Ecclesiastes 12:7 (ESV) — 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Philippians 1:21 (ESV) — 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

2 Corinthians 5:8 (ESV) — 8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Luke 16:19–31 (ESV) — 19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’ ”

Revelation 20:11–15 (ESV) — 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

DISCUSSION

15. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

How can we mentally bring ourselves pay attention and make sure the magnitude of salvation slip from our minds into the obscurity of the common?

16. Bob

Read about it, talk about it, praise God about it. It’s the basis of worship and serving God. After all you understand that He’s done for you, is there anything or anyway that you would hold back from Him.

Romans 12:1–2 (KJV 1900) — 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

17. Discussion
18. Third question … Turning to the Physical

Let’s talk about that report that came out recently that said you

19. Bob ---

In adults, low libido is a sure sign of poor health! While stress, worry, and mental challenges can reduce sex drive, In

In adults, low libido is a sure sign of poor health! While stress, worry, and mental challenges can reduce sex drive, poor diet, and exercise lead to sickness and disease. So, if your sex drive is low, chances are you need to make lifestyle changes!

If you do not have a healthy sex life, your life suffers from low libido. In fact, the healthier your sex life, the healthier you will be! It has been demonstrated that active sexual people are healthy and happy! So that should be enough motivation for any person to change his lifestyle.

One key to hormone production is maintaining proper insulin regulation. Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 known as IGF-1 is structurally related to insulin and blood sugar regulation. If your Human Growth Hormones are low, chances are your diet is high in refined, processed and full of artificial ingredients added from the seed to the packaging to enhance the flavor of junk food, preserve it, and make it convenient.

A proper diet will effectively manage your insulin and in return, help you maintain healthy levels of growth hormones and IGF-1 naturally. In doing this you will achieve greater health, increased sex drive, and improve the quality of your life! That is why we need to keep our nutrition intake on the right track. Otherwise, we will age and feel old.

Exercise that involves weightbearing activity will do more to keep you young by activating your hormonal system. Diet is the King of health and exercise is the Queen of health! Put them together and you have a Kingdom of Health!

JT’s Comments

Take Aways – JT …. And Bob

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline to talk seriously with your doctor about signs of aging or sickness but think about the results that getting things in balance can do for you.

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
