“Gospel amnesia means I continue to anxiously search for what has already been fully given to me in the person, presence and work of Jesus.” – Paul Tripp
WHEN WE FORGET WE FALL
WE REMEMBER
Colossians 1:21–22 (ESV) – And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him.
We remember…
a. Who Jesus is
b. Who we are
c. Where we’re going
WE REMAIN
Colossians 1:23 (ESV) – If indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
