Speaker: NCCF Church Title: NCCF Church Sharing Date: 04/02/2023 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

It stresses that God accomplishes everything according to His will, and believers should submit all concerns to Him, trusting that nothing is too difficult for the Lord. The core call is to respond to God's mercies by offering a life of grateful, holy service.
