Speaker: Sanjay Poonen Title: Knowing Jesus Means Obeying His Commandments Date: 07/14/2024 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

Knowing Jesus means obeying His commandments through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who explains Jesus to us daily just as He revealed God the Father during His earthly ministry. As we follow Christ's commandments—whether through enduring persecution, cultivating purity, or living out the Beatitudes—we become living examples of the heavenly Father to our children and those around us, helping them understand what God is like.
