Partaking of the Glory of Christ - Zac Poonen
Summary
The message emphasizes that true Christian life involves actively growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, which is evidenced by increasing reverence or the fear of God. The speaker contrasts the 'gospel of forgiveness of sins'—which only saves one from Hell—with the gospel of 'gaining the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,' which requires continuous spiritual growth. This growth is necessary to avoid being an empty vessel before God.

Zac Poonen - The Way To Growth In Christlikeness - 1
Zac Poonen · May 4, 2020
True spiritual growth requires understanding sin not just as breaking a rule or failing to do what is known to be right, but fundamentally as coming short of the glory of God, which is defined by the life of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that this high standard means any action or word that cannot be done in the presence of Christ is sinful. To grow, one must constantly examine oneself against this standard, recognizing that compromise for worldly gain is ultimately yielding to the devil.
