Bobby McDonald - Pick Up Your Mat And Walk
Speaker: Bobby McDonald Title: Pick Up Your Mat And Walk Date: 08/01/2021 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 central message is that Christian growth and victory over sin are accomplished by God's power, not solely by human effort or willpower. The speaker emphasizes that believers must rely on the promise that God will complete the good work He started in them. Drawing from the healing of the paralyzed man in John 5, the core action is to 'pick up your mat and walk,' signifying that victory and healing are already granted, requiring only the choice to live in that reality immediately.
