Speaker: NCCF Church Title: NCCF Church Sharing Date: 12/11/2022 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 speaker discusses the true meaning of 'eternal life,' clarifying that it is not merely living forever in heaven, but rather living the life of Jesus in one's daily circumstances. This life is achieved through deep fellowship with God, which is practically demonstrated by a life of obedience to God's commandments and responding to the promptings of the conscience. The speaker emphasizes that this life can be lived out today through obedience to God's Word.

Knocking at the doorThe way a robovac taps gently trying to get into a closed room reminds the speaker of Jesus knocking at the door of our hearts.Revelation 3:20

Seeing sin in the lightJust as a vacuum enters a dark room and reveals hidden details, we need the light of Christ to shine in our hearts to see sin.John 1:4–5

Progressive cleaning and spiritual shakeupsJust as the vacuum cleaner progressively collects dust and uncovers unexpected debris, God works in our lives to forgive and cleanse us from unrighteousness.
