God's Terms
Main Point: The Lord loves us and has given us His terms for us to follow to show that we love him and to enjoy His blessings! 1. God made a covenant with Israel, and a new covenant with us His disciples to walk in relationship. We come to the Father through His Son Jesus Christ, who gives us His Spirit who writes these laws in our minds, and on our hearts. 2. The first term of the covenant is 'You shall have no other gods before me' = 'put God first in everything.' The Promise - Proverbs 3:5-6 F - Finances (Proverbs 3:9-10) I - Interests (I Corinthians 10:31) R - Relationships (Proverbs 12:26; I Timothy 5:1-2) S - Schedule (Ephesians 5:16-17) T - Troubles (James 5:13; I Peter 5:7)
