The Need

Jesus did not come to establish a religion, but to win a war.

1. MAN WAS THE FIRST CASUALTY IN THE WAR (Genesis 3)

   1. Satan declared war on God (Isaiah 14:12-17)
   2. Satan deceived Eve, Adam sinned willfully
   3. Satan’s doom is promised (Genesis 3:14-15)

2. SATAN'S REBELLION TARGETED GOD'S CREATION (Genesis 6:1-4)

   1. Satan polluted mankind (Genesis 6:1-4)
   2. God starts over with Noah (Genesis 6:5-8)

3. JESUS HAD TO BECOME MAN TO PROVIDE FORGIVENESS AND VICTORY

1. Adam brought sin to us, Jesus brings forgiveness and eternal life to us (Romans 5:12-14)
2. If Jesus had not been man, He could not have died for man. (John1:1,9-13, 14)
3. Jesus saves us to be remade into His likeness and engage in the war.

What about you?

1. Have you repented because you are a sinner and turned to Jesus Christ the Savior?
2. Are you engaged in spiritual warfare?
