1. PERSONAL RESULTS OF A RENEWED LORDSHIP

2. I. IT ALL STARTS WITH A PURITY OF HEART.

3. 1 Peter 1:22-23 “Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the

4. heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.”

5. II. CHANGES THAT JESUS MAKES IN YOUR PERSON.

6. 1. Jesus wants to make your life beautiful through simplicity.

7. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

8. 2. Jesus wants to make your life beautiful through genuine love.

9. 1 Peter 1:22-“Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.”

10. Imagine if your thoughts, actions and words-ALL of them-were controlled by a sincere, deep love for others.

11. John 13:34-35-“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

12. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

13. 3. Jesus wants to make your life beautiful through humble reverence for God.

14. Psalm 111:10-“ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.”

15. 4. Jesus wants to make your life beautiful through inner joy.

16. “From time to time throughout history, the church needs revival. We know how easy it is as individuals and congregations and denominations to get stuck in a rut.

17. We get into the routine of what we are doing and we get comfortable with it- and since all of us like to be comfortable-our comfort can become the main focus of our lives

18. and of the church. We fall into survival mode instead of revival mode. In short, the history of the church has shown us that periodically we need to

19. be revived because the only difference between a rut and a grave is its length, its depth, and how long we are in there.” (Allan Bevere)
