Speaker: NCCF Church Title: NCCF Church Sharing Date: 05/01/2022 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
The central message is that Christians aim to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. Drawing from Proverbs 3:32, the speaker emphasizes that God favors the upright, suggesting that true intimacy with God is built through honesty and integrity in private life, mirroring Jesus's quiet faithfulness. To maintain this relationship, believers must actively avoid crookedness, bitterness, and unforgiving thoughts.
