Summary
The speaker distinguishes between conscious sin, which is actionable and subject to God's judgment (as per James 4:17), and unconscious sin, which stems from the past and does not require confession or guilt. True Christian growth, or sanctification, involves gaining light on the unconscious areas of life, allowing the believer to become more Christ-like. This process is compared to slicing away the visible top layer of ice to reveal the hidden, deeper layers beneath.

Walking like Christ in our conscious lifeWhile we cannot be like Christ in our unconscious parts until He returns, God expects us to walk like Him in the areas of our lives where we are consciously aware.
Sin is defined by conscious choiceAccording to James 4:17, sin occurs when we know the right thing to do but choose not to do it; things done unconsciously are not held against us as sin.James 4:17
The influence of past images on our unconsciousUnconscious thoughts or dreams often stem from things we have previously fed into our minds; by filling our minds with God's word, we can push these old files to the bottom.
Progressive sanctification through lightAs we walk with the Lord, God provides more light to our conscious areas, gradually cleansing our unconscious life and helping us grow in Christlikeness.
The danger of living at an Old Covenant levelMany Christians live like they are in the Old Covenant, stuck in old patterns of defeat rather than utilizing the power and progress available through the New Covenant.
