II. Selflessness (Examples)

III. One of the most important characteristics of a believer.
A. Love your neighbor

C. The Greatest Example
John 3:16 (NKJV) 16Â For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

1. “We†(believers)
2. Therefore
B. Earnest Heed
C. Drift away = into apathy
II. Warning Hebrews 2:2
A. Transgression (to step across the line, a sin of commission)
B. Disobedience (the idea of one shutting their eyes, a sin of omission)

1. Conquerors Romans 8:31-19
2. Overcomers and Victory
“For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His worksâ€; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.†Hebrews 4:4-5
IV. Spoken by Hebrews 2:3,4
A. Jesus
B. Confirmed
1. by Apostles
2. Signs-wonders-miracles
Mark 16:15-20  And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.†19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
Paul wasn’t ashamed:
Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.
2 Corinthians 5:19 (NKJV)
19Â that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Acts 20:28 (NKJV)
28Â Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
Romans 3:24-26 (NKJV)
24Â being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25Â whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26Â to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
John 5:39-40 (NKJV)
39Â You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40Â But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
Luke 13:34-35 (NKJV)
34 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
John 3:18 (NKJV)
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING? 12-3-17
I. Explanation Hebrews 6:4-9
A. Those who think they lose salvation
John 10:27-28 (NKJV)
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
1. It is eternal life Romans 8:1; 33, 34-39
I John 5:13
John 3:36 (NKJV) He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.â€
B. Only those who profess
II. The Interpretation
A. Rewards
1. Judgement Seat of Christ I Corinthians 3:11-15
B. Fruit—Good Works
Titus 3: 5, 8 (NKJV) (5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, (8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
III. Warning Hebrews 6:6
A. Fall Away
B. Sacrificing Jesus
IV. Build on Foundation
1 Corinthians 3:11 (NKJV) 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1. What material are YOU using?
Hebrews 6:4-9
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away,[a] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
John 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
Romans 8:1
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a]who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit
Romans 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies
Romans 8:34-39 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.â€
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God whic
1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,[a] and that you may continue tobelieve in the name of the Son of God.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.
14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Hebrews 6:6 If they fall away,[a] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
