Summary
God works in believers to produce a passionate desire to do His will, and Christians must actively cooperate with this work through the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome sin and live obediently. Zac Poonen emphasizes that genuine spirituality is marked by a burning passion for God and His kingdom, not mere knowledge accumulation or surface religiosity, and that this passion energizes both the desire and ability to live righteously.
Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Working out salvation because God works in usGod works in us to give us a tremendous passion to do His will, which is a blazing furnace desire rather than a weak wish.
Making God our number one prioritySpiritual levels differ not by age or intelligence, but by whether seeking God is our absolute first priority above earthly pursuits like jobs or houses.
The example of Sadhu Sundar SinghAt a young age, Sadhu Sundar Singh had such a desperate passion for God that he declared he could not live without a revelation of Him, leading to a life-changing vision of Jesus.
Refusing to sink to a low spiritual levelBelievers must not settle for the sluggish and low spiritual level common in the church, but must look directly to Jesus as their example.
Needing the mighty power of God to put sin to deathDesire alone is not enough; we need the power of the Holy Spirit to put the deeds of the flesh to death.Romans 8:13
Switching on the power of the Holy SpiritJust like turning on a light switch, we must open ourselves to the Holy Spirit to overcome lust, anger, and other unchristian behaviors.
Working out what God works in like the first miracle at CanaJesus turning water into wine serves as a sign of the new covenant, where God changes our ordinary human nature into divine life and we serve it out to others.
