True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

The sermon discusses the importance of a good conscience and sincere faith. It warns that a conscience can become hardened or seared, leading one astray if neglected. True faith, which is the evidence of things hoped for, is ignited by hearing God's Word and must be actively maintained by believing what God says, especially when doubts arise.

Jesus taught that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must become like a little child, emphasizing humility and complete dependence. The speaker contrasts this with the worldly desire to be the greatest or to act like God, noting that the first sin was pride. True faith, therefore, requires the humility of a baby who is utterly dependent on others, mirroring the dependence on Christ.

The central message is that our love for God must flow from the conviction of His perfect, unconditional love for us, as stated in 1 John 4:19.
