What Would Our World Be Like Without Jesus?
What Would “Your World”
Be Like Without Jesus
If He Hadn’t Come…
1. I would not UNDERSTAND God.(Ephesians 3:16-19)
16that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power
through His Spirit in the inner man
17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and
grounded in love, 18may be able to comprehend with all the saints what
is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled
up to all the fullness of God.
If He Hadn’t Come…2. I would not know how God
FEELS ABOUT ME.4just as He chose us in Him before the foundation
of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according
to the kind intention of His will.(Ephesians 1:4-5)
If He Hadn’t Come…3. I would not know MY INHERITANCE.
(Ephesians 1:11-14)11also we have obtained an inheritance, having
been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,
12to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.
13In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation – having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the
Holy Spirit of promise, 14who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the
redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
If He Hadn’t Come…4. I would be
WITHOUT HOPE.
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins
(Ephesians 2:1)
If He Hadn’t Come…4. I would be
WITHOUT HOPE.
remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise,
having no hope and without God in the world.(Ephesians 2:12)
If He Hadn’t Come…5. We would not be
TOGETHER.
(Ephesians 2:19-22) 19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the
saints, and are of God’s household
20having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself
being the corner stone, 21in whom the whole building, being fitted together,
is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22in whom you also are being built
together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
If He Hadn’t Come…6. I would not be able to
APPROACH GOD.
in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.
(Ephesians 3:12)
