Speaker: NCCF Church Title: Church Sharing Date: 07-14-2019 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 emphasizes the critical importance of paying close attention to what God speaks, drawing parallels between reading important documents and listening to scripture. He warns that carelessness can cause us to drift away from God's truth, leading to spiritual loss. To remain focused, he advises remembering the truths that have previously brought freedom and healing, and always treating the current message as if it were a direct word from God.

Why do we pay close attention to important things?We carefully read important documents like tax bills, health reports, or contracts because money or vital matters are involved, unlike spam mail or software agreements.

The danger of drifting away from what we have heardThe writer of Hebrews urges us to pay close attention to the gospel message passed down through generations, lest we slowly and unnoticed drift away from God's goal.
