Two Outlines on the New Birth J ohn 3:7
(A Topical Treatment of the Text) I. The Nature of the New Birth. II. The Author of the New Birth. III. The Necessity of the New Birth. IV. The Evidences of the New Birth. (A Propositional T r e a t m e n t of the Text.) Proposition: The new birth is necessary to salvation, because: E The Human Heart is Alien to God. 1. By birth. 2. By choice. 3. By disposition. II. The Divine Heart is Alien to Man. 1. In its character of holiness. 2. In its righteous indignation and wrath toward the sinner. 3. In its method and plan of salvation. * * * This Thing Called Sin 1 J ohn 3:3-12 “Sin” is an obsolete word in the minds of many, but it is a perennial and uni versal experience. The Christian’s constant attitude should be: Detect, depose, and depart from sin. I. The Definition of Sin (vs. 3-6). 1. Beginning in an evil principle (v. | | i 2. Carried out in evil acts (v. 4). 3. Forming evil habits (v. 6). 4. Developing an evil character (v. 6 ). II. The Design of Sin (vs. 7-12). 1. To seduce the unwary (v. 7). 2. To exalt the devil (v. 8). 3. To breed hatred of God (v. 12). 4. To promote hostitily to righteous ness (v. 12). III. The Destiny of Sin (vs. 5-12). 1. Removal by grace (v. 5). 2. Destruction by Christ (V. 8). 3. Abandonment by believers (v. 9). 4. Suppression by love (v. 10). The distinction between sin and right eousness is exemplified in Cain and Abel (v. 12). The difference between evil and good, misery and happiness, death and life, heaven and hell, is effected only by the change from the old nature to the new, the old sphere of life to the new — through the power of God in Christ on Calvary. Persecution “W hy persecutest thou me?” (Acts 9:4). 1. Unconverted men are often of a per secuting spirit. 2. Christ has His eyes upon persecutors. 3. Christ considers an injury done to His people as done to Himself. 4. Christ’s call to persecutors is to pro duce conviction of sin. 5. Christ’s call is earnest and particular. 6. Christ condescends to reason with the persecutor. NOVEMBER, 1958
