Age of Accountability, Listening to God

The Holy Spirit teaches us about the Lord Jesus Christ, and helps young people understand everyone’s need of a Savior. We call this the “age of accountability”.

God Bless,

NOTES AND QUOTES:

LISTENING TO THE LORD

 

John 16:7-14

HOLY SPIRIT, 3RD PERSON OF THE TRINITY

SPIRIT OF TRUTH

GUIDE

TEACHER

COMFORTER, STRENGTHENER, ADVOCATE, HELPER

 

HIS WORK IT TO TEACH, TRAIN, CONVINCE, STRENTHEN OUR FAITH, SHOW US THE TRUTH, HELP US BELIEVE THE TRUTH

FOLLOWS THE COMMAND OF GOD THE SON

 

WHEN WE LISTEN TO GOD OF THE BIBLE, WHEN WE HEAR THE LORD JESUS SPEAKING TO OUR HEARTS, IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT COMMUNICATING WITH US.

 

SOMETIMES BY HEARING THE BIBLE, THE WORD

SOMETIMES WHEN WE PRAY

BUT MOSTLY WHEN HE JUST SPEAKS TO US.

 

NOT AN AUDIBLE VOICE

 

TO OUR HEARTS; WHERE OUR FAITH IS, WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT EVERYTHING

 

OUR CONSCIENCE, IN OUR HEART, TELLS US RIGHT AND WRONG, WHAT IS TRUE OR NOT, WHAT WE BELIEVE, AND WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT OURSELVES

 

GOD SPEAKS THROUGH OUR CONSCIENCE AND WE BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS TO OUR HEARTS.

 

CHILDHOOD, MORALITY, RIGHT AND WRONG, AND OUR CONSCIENCE.

 

“AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY” GOD BEGINS TO HOLD A CHILD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR OWN SOUL AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.

 

MY EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS 10 OR 11.

 

ANALOGY: BEING DIRTY.

 

“HOW ARE THINGS BETWEEN YOU AND GOD?”
