Jeremy Utley - Trusting in God's love
Summary
The central message is that a foundation of God's love allows believers to respond to sin by trusting in God's great mercy rather than succumbing to shame or self-condemnation. This trust is built by consistently declaring God's promises and praising Him daily, which acts like making deposits in a spiritual bank account. Ultimately, one must establish the reality of truth through consistent behavior and declaration, rather than relying on fluctuating feelings.
Description
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Trusting in God's love Date: 01-18-2015 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 member of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

The speaker argues that while God's love is foundational, it is insufficient to achieve God's ultimate purpose. He posits that God's pleasure is superior to God's love, citing instances like Jesus' baptism and the Transfiguration where the Father declared, "This is my beloved Son; I am happy with him." The central message is that Christians should strive not only to know that God loves them but to live lives that bring Him pleasure.
