What Do You See In The Crucifixion of Jesus? Man's Only Hope For Salvation!Don McClain
Are there many ways to God? Are there different roads to heaven? In this study we will examine these questions and we will also focus on what the Bible teaches regarding what we must do in order to benefit from the crucifixion of Jesus. I would like to encourage you to not only view the charts - but also listen to this series.
It's hard for most people to grasp the concept of being a slave. Most would deny that they are servants. But the reality is that we are all slaves/servants to something. If one is honest with himself He'll admit that he is in bondage to his job, to a location where he lives, to a bad marriage, to a sick and dying body and most of all to sin. Paul speaks in the context to the Roman empire where the majority of his listeners are servants. You may not be this kind of a servant, but the principles are still applicable to employees, students and even children. Jesus did not come to rule but to serve. We are to do the same.
An overview of the bible
Since the beginning of time, there has been a plan for Jesus and our souls. God’s plan is revealed throughout the entire Bible! Many view the Old and New Testaments as unrelated, but there is an amazing message that begins in the Old Testament and carries through to the New Testament. The message is of God’s love and man’s redemption. That is what this booklet is about. I hope it will be an encouragement to you.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. Colossians 1: 16
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens
and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have
been created through Him and FOR Him.
Psalms 24: 1
The earth is the Lord's, and all it contains,
The world, and those who dwell in it.
4. God refers to those who do
His will on the earth as
His “servants.”
Job - Abraham - Moses - David
5. Romans 15:8
For I say that Christ has become a servant to
the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God
to confirm the promises given to the fathers,
9 and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His
mercy;
6. Philippians 2:6-8
Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form
of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to
be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of
a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of
men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He
humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point
of death, even death on a cross.
7. Matthew 12:18
Behold, my Servant whom I have chosen; My
beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased; I
will put my spirit upon Him, and He shall
proclaim justice to the gentiles.
8. I. If you are a Christian,
you are a bond-servant
of Jesus Christ.
9. Even in “the home of the free
and the land of the brave”
you are property.
10. Romans 5
Those who refuse to serve God
are captured by Satan as
runaway slaves.
11. II Cor. 11: 13-15
For such men are false apostles, deceitful
workers, disguising themselves as Apostles of
Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises
himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not
surprising if his servants also disguise
themselves as servants of righteousness, whose
end will be according to their deeds.
12. II Timothy 2: 25b-26 .
... if perhaps God may grant them repentance
leading to the knowledge of the truth, 26 and
they may come to their senses and escape from
the snare of the devil, having been held captive
by him to do his will.
( The same from Eve until today.)
13. Everyone serves a master ...
either the god of this world
or the God of Heaven.
14. II. You can choose not to
serve God, but you
cannot choose not
to be a servant.
15. Romans 6: 16-23
Do you not know that when you present yourselves to
someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the
one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of
obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to
God that though you were slaves of sin, you became
obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which
you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin,
... continued
16. Romans 6: 16-23 ... continuation
you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in
human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For
just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity
and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so
now present your members as slaves to righteousness,
resulting in sanctification. 20 For when you were
slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21
... continued
17. Romans 6: 16-23 ... continuation
Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the
things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of
those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from
sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting
in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the
wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
18. Luke 16: 13
No servant can serve two masters; for either he
will hate the one and love the other, or else he
will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and wealth."
No one can be a servant of both Satan
( i.e., sin / self ) and a servant of God.
19. God demands that His servants
be totally committed to Him.
Galatians 2: 20
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I
who live, ...
Romans 6: 6
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him,
in order that our body of sin might be done away
with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
20. Matthew 10: 37-39
He who loves father or mother more than Me is not
worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter
more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who
does not take his cross and follow after Me is not
worthy of Me. 39 He who has found his life will lose
it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.
( Same thing said in Galatians 2:20 )
22. Levels of servitude in the N.T.

—Strong’s Enhance Lexicon
24. Exodus 21: 5-6
But if the slave plainly says, 'I love my master,
my wife and my children; I will not go out as a
free man,' 6 then his master shall bring him to
God, then he shall bring him to the door or the
doorpost and his master shall pierce his ear with
an awl; and he shall serve him permanently.
25. What are the Implications of
the Christian being a
“Bond-servant of Jesus Christ ?”
28. Luke 19: 9-10

come to this house, because he, too, is a son
of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man has come

preach the gospel to all creation. ...”

out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His
work.
34. II Pet. 3: 9
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some
count slowness, but is patient toward you, not
wishing for any to perish but for all to come to
repentance.
I Tim. 2:3-4
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God
our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and
to come to the knowledge of the truth.
35. If we are to accomplish
the work of God on earth,
we must save lost souls.
37. The way one advances himself in
the kingdom is through serving.
Matthew 20: 27-28
Whoever wishes to be first among you shall be
your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not
come to be served, but to serve, and to give His
life a ransom for many.
38. Those who share the gospel
will be rewarded by God.
I Corinthians 3: 6-9
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters
is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8 Now he who
plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his
own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God's
fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
39. When one is abused in sharing the
gospel, his reward a increased.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you,
and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the
sake of the Son of Man. 23 "Be glad in that day and leap
for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in
the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
40. Those who aid you in spreading
the gospel will also be rewarded.
Mark 9: 41
For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink
because of your name as followers of Christ,
truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
41. We are the bond-servants
