Speaker: NCCF Church Title: NCCF Church Sharing Date: 07/11/2021 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 reflects on the story of the adulteress in John 8, emphasizing that while Jesus forgives and says, 'go and sin no more,' true obedience requires more than just accepting forgiveness. He advises going to Jesus's feet, like Mary, to learn how to live right, drawing parallels to Matthew 4:4 (man shall not live by bread alone but by every word). Ultimately, the message is one of discipleship, accepting the yoke of Christ's word, and walking with Him through faith and the Holy Spirit.

The adulteress brought to JesusDrawing from the account in John chapter 8, the speaker shares how being brought to Jesus brings acceptance and love rather than condemnation.

Go and sin no moreJesus tells the woman not to sin anymore, which sounds like an impossible command unless we learn how to rely on Him.

Sitting at Jesus's feet like MaryLike Mary in Luke 10, we must sit at Jesus's feet and listen to Him because we cannot overcome sin on our own strength.

The choice between life and deathObeying Jesus's words brings life while disobeying brings death and bondage to sin, as taught in Matthew 4 and Isaiah 50.

Coming under the yoke of ChristBy taking His yoke upon us and walking with Him, Jesus helps us live out the command to leave sin behind.

The crippled beggar at the temple gateIn Acts chapter 3, a crippled beggar expects money from Peter and John, but instead receives healing in the name of Jesus Christ.

Obeying God rather than human authorityPeter and the apostles boldly share the gospel and declare they must obey God rather than men, despite opposition from authorities.

Stephen's loyal witness and martyrdomStephen remains full of the Holy Spirit, sees Jesus on the throne, and prays for his persecutors as he is stoned to death.

Nothing can separate us from God's loveConcluding with Romans 8, the speaker reassures believers that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ.Romans 8:31–39
