FAITH IS AGGRESSIVE



Intro.

  1. Aggressive meaning violent, hostile, destructive, forceful, insistent and uncompromising.
  2. Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
  • suffereth violence -  (to use force, to apply force, to force, inflict violence on)
     3.   John 10:10 says The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:                   
  • This is not a life for passive christian, the kindom is here and it need to be seen in you child of God.
3.      A believer cannot be half-hearted, lacking spirit or energy. He cannot be complacent, indulgent, and at ease. He cannot expect to just slip into heaven. There has to be a real interest and desire, a vigorous stirring and struggle, a diligent seeking after God to enter heaven:

4.      Hebrews 11:6    "He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and...diligently seek Him"

5.      2 Tim. 2:3-4   Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier"

·         Listen to this; in this walk of faith you must not allow anything from the outside stop you nor anything from the inside stop you. (your own reasoning) 
·         Listen to this now; in your on ability you can not please God.
                  ·         The only way to please God is by faith
                  ·         So stop looking at your own ability and trust God’s Word
