The danger of spiritual blindnessUsing 2 Corinthians 4, the speaker warns that Satan, the god of this age, works to blind unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the glory of Christ.
The difference between forgiveness and the glory of ChristWhile many understand the gospel as the forgiveness of sins, the true glory of Christ involves being filled with His very nature, much like a cleaned cup is meant to be filled rather than just emptied.
What is the greatest gift God can give?Instead of focusing on worldly gifts like promotions or better jobs, we should recognize that God's greatest desire is to give us His own nature.
Prioritizing God's kingdom brings true provisionThe speaker shares his personal testimony of leaving the navy to serve God, illustrating that seeking His kingdom first leads to divine provision and a life focused on His nature rather than money.
Is your salary holiness?Many people serve God for financial gain, but the true reward for serving Him is a growing measure of holiness.
Seeking the richest Father instead of earthly beggarsRather than chasing wealthy people for help, believers should turn to God, who is the wealthiest person in the universe.
The struggle against internal giantsSinful habits like anger and lust claim they cannot be conquered by Jesus, yet the gospel of His glory provides the power to defeat them.
Why God called youGod called believers through the Gospel not merely for salvation and heaven, but so that they might partake in the glory and nature of Jesus Christ.
Jesus as a living exampleJesus lived on earth to demonstrate how humans should live, providing a model for children in obedience, youth in purity, and adults in hard work.
The balance of grace and truthTrue glory in Christ requires a balance of both grace, shown through compassion for sinners, and truth, shown through standing against corruption.
