Many kinds of treasure in this world
life
possessions
business
success
family
friends
family
traditions
Are these idols? Are they false gods?
What is a god?
that
which you will sin to get
that
which you will sin if you don’t get
What is our treasure?
false
god?
true
God?
What’s our attitude toward those
other treasures?
very
important
not
indispensable
under
God’s sovereign design
given
by God’s gracious hand
used
for His purposes
What passes away then?
Colossians
3 passage - anger, malice, wrath, obscene talk, slander
Can
we put them away? I guarantee you that when you try to stop being
angry you will find more people than ever to provoke anger.
How are these things put away?
new
creation in Christ
bought
back from the kingdom of Satan, the kingdom of death
translated
into Christ’s kingdom
more
than conquerors
God’s
perfect love poured out upon us
washed
in grace
presented
in the image of Jesus
partakers
of his nature - 1 Corinthians 10 - true communion
Seek treasure! Seek true, pure,
heavenly treasure! This is what our Savior has given us.
