Summary

The central message is that the goal of the Christian life is to know Jesus and be transformed into His likeness, which involves learning about Him and following His commandments. The speaker emphasizes that after hearing and believing God's Word, the believer's task is to teach and live out what they have learned, drawing strength from the Holy Spirit. He concludes by focusing on John 4:34, interpreting Jesus' statement, "My meat and my food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish it," as the ultimate sustenance for Christian life.

A Call to Active ObedienceThe Christian life is not static or passive; believers are God's workmanship created unto good works prepared beforehand.
