Prepare to Meet God

Prepare to Meet God

In Exodus 19:1-25 the children of Israel have arrived at Mount Sinai and encounter God in all His glory. We find that there are 3 parts to encountering God:

1.  The order of salvation

We are saved by grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone.

Gospel vs. Legalism:
Legalism says: I obey so that God will love me.
Gospel says: God loves me, therefore I obey.

“You contribute nothing to your salvation, except the sin that made it necessary.” – Jonathan Edwards

2.  The process of sanctification

God conforms us into the image of Jesus.

3.  The importance of consecration

We meet God on His terms, not ours

CONSECRATE:
To be set apart from something – to something.
To be set apart from that which is profane and to be dedicated or consecrated to that which is holy.

3 questions for personal examination:

  • Am I fully committed to God?
  • What in my life is distracting me from full surrender and devotion to God?
  • What am I committing to do about it?
