Speaker: NCCF Church Title: NCCF Church Sharing Date: 03/12/2023 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
The speaker uses Matthew 11:12 and John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress to illustrate that entering the Kingdom of Heaven requires forceful, active effort, not mere desire. He emphasizes that one must press forward with the 'armor of God,' specifically using the Word of God as a weapon, to overcome internal struggles like being offended or seeking the approval of others. A life of faith is portrayed as an active battle, not a passive existence.
