Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: The Way To Growth In Christlikeness - 4 Date: May 31, 2020 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 sermon outlines the path to growing in Christlikeness by examining the attitudes described in the Sermon on the Mount. Key elements include being pure in heart, which means centering all love on God, and progressing from being a mere child of God to a true son. This journey requires first achieving peace with God through justification by faith, which then enables one to become a peacemaker in life.

Moving from children of God to sons of GodReceiving Christ makes us children of God, but God's will is for us to mature into sons who actively make peace.John 1:12Galatians 4:1–5

First peace with God, then peace in our heartsTrue peacemaking begins vertically with being justified and having peace with God through Christ's blood, followed by maintaining a clear conscience guided by the Holy Spirit.

Living at peace with all menWe are commanded to pursue peace and holiness with everyone, as far as it depends on us, resolving conflicts immediately and never going to bed angry.

The God of Peace sanctifies us and crushes SatanWhen we let the God of Peace rule in our hearts by pursuing peace, He is the One who sanctifies us entirely and crushes Satan under our feet.1 Thessalonians 5:23

Persecuted for the sake of righteousnessEveryone who desires to live a godly life will experience persecution and trial when they refuse to compromise with unrighteousness in their daily work or life.Matthew 5:102 Timothy 3:12

Persecuted because of Jesus ChristBelievers are also persecuted with insults and false accusations because of their devotion to Christ, often facing opposition even from religious people and family members.Matthew 5:11

Reviewing the nine right attitudesThe nine beatitudes outline the nature of Jesus, covering inner purity, mercy, peacemaking, and willingness to suffer persecution.

The difference between salt and lightSalt represents our hidden inner life and character with an aroma of Christ, while light represents our visible good works that bring glory to the Father.

Fulfilling the Old Testament in the age of graceJesus did not come to abolish the Old Testament scriptures, but to fulfill them through the New Covenant by the power of the Holy Spirit.
