Jeremy Utley - Completely Cooperate with God’s Smelting
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Completely Cooperate with God’s Smelting Date: May 24, 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 central message is that Christians must undergo a thorough refining process, likened to silver being purified by a smelter, to become a reflection of Jesus. This purification involves passing through trials, symbolized by water and fire, which God uses to remove impurities. This process is not quick and requires God's consistent, faithful work to yield a pure life capable of offering righteousness to the Lord.
