Bobby McDonald - Our Self Denial Is Not Perfect, But It's the Water That God Will Turn Into Wine
Speaker: Bobby McDonald Title: Our Self Denial Is Not Perfect, But It's the Water That God Will Turn Into Wine Date: 03-31-2019 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 message is that Christian growth involves a gradual transformation, moving toward reflecting the nature of Jesus Christ. This transformation is achieved through consistent self-denial, which doesn't result in immediate perfection but rather a persistent change in thought and feeling over time. Furthermore, the speaker advises believers to guard their ears and minds against excessive curiosity, recognizing that motives like comparison or seeking validation can lead to spiritual pitfalls.
