Truths of Revival - God’s Household (notes)

Truths of Revival - God’s Household

God Loves Your Family Just as we love those who are dear to us God loves the whole human family and He loves your family more than you could ever love them.

God has a family and to be a part of His family is the greatest privilege in the world.

When Someone comes to the Lord all the people in that person’s family becomes candidates for salvation and heaven.

Ephesians 2

Talks about how we are all part of God’s Household.

  1. Jesus destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.
  2. He repealed the law code.
  3. His purpose was to create in Himself a new man.
  4. In His body He reconciled, He created a new kind of human being.
  5. Christ brought us together through His death on the cross.
  6. The cross got us to embrace and that was the end of hostility.
  7. We are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s Household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus being the Chief Cornerstone, in Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
