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 goal for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus Christ. This transformation is achieved both individually through personal purity and corporately by functioning fully as members within the local church.
Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
The daily choice to obey God or our fleshGod has given us freedom at the crossroads of life to make choices many times a day, deciding whether to obey Him or our own flesh.
Called for relationship, not just rulesGod calls us for fellowship and a moment-by-moment walk with Him rather than mere rule-following.
The transformative result of obeying His voiceWhen we obey God's voice, He reveals un-Christ-like things in us to remove them, helping us ultimately become like Him.
The danger of ignoring God's voiceIgnoring God's voice leads to a hardened heart and causes us to do things we never imagined, grieving God's heart.
Asking God for a heart of fleshWhen our heart becomes like stone, we can fall at God's feet and ask Him to give us a heart of flesh so we can obey Him.
The Holy Spirit guides us step by stepThe Holy Spirit speaks to us behind us in different circumstances, providing direction and discernment as we obey Him day by day.
Sowing to the flesh versus sowing to the SpiritThose who sow to their own flesh reap corruption from it, while those who sow to the Spirit reap eternal life.Galatians 6:8
The biblical context of sowing and reapingPaul consistently uses the illustration of sowing and reaping in the context of supporting others financially and materially.1 Corinthians 9:112 Corinthians 9:6
The offering box as a seed of generosityViewing financial giving as planting a small seed helps us trust God to produce His beautiful nature and eternal fruit in our lives.
