 A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE WORK OF CHRIST IN OUR LIVES

Christ Seeks us, so that we might be Saved, so that we might be Sanctified, so that we might be Saturated, so that we might be Sent, so that we might Seek the lost and Serve the local church.

Salvation is a unified work of God, taking place in phases of enlightenment, faith, growth. The Christian experience is life of faith.

Christ Seeks the lost. (Christ knows where we are, but He calls the lost to repentance. Remember, after he sinned, Adam "hid" from the presence of the Lord. God knew where Adam was, but He called Adam to come and confess his rebellion.

Christ Saves the lost (redeems, delivers) from their sins, and regenerates, forgives, cleanses, empowers and leads them to live a life of faith. This is a crises experience that should produce a continuous condition of life in Christ.

Christ Sanctifies the saved (purifies, makes holy) from their Old Man, Carnal Mind, Double Mind. This is a crises experience that should produce a continuous condition of heart purity and holiness of heart and life.

Christ Saturates the sanctified (fills believers) with the Holy Spirit. This is a crises experience that should continue to exist in the heart of the faithful believer.

Christ Sends the Spirit saturated believer (dead to sin and alive to God) to Seek the unsaved and to Serve their local church. This is a crises experience that should continue throughout the life of the believer.
