Speaker: Bobby McDonald Title: Shine The Light On Your Deeds To See Their Origin Date: April 19, 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 true Christian living requires bringing all deeds, thoughts, and attitudes into the light of God's truth to ensure they are genuinely wrought by God's will. The speaker encourages believers to adopt the attitude of constant self-examination, similar to David's plea, to purify their inner selves. By continually checking one's actions and thoughts against the Lord's will, believers can grow closer to reflecting Jesus.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

What does it mean to come to the light?Jesus teaches in John that those who practice the truth come to the light so their deeds may be shown as wrought in God.

Asking God to search our heartsLike David in Psalm 139, a Christian's attitude should be to ask God to search their heart and lead them in the everlasting way.

Checking our motives in daily workThe speaker shares how he reviews past work emails with the Lord to check if impatience or laziness influenced his responses.

What does wrought in God mean?To see if a deed is wrought in God means examining its origin and manufacturing source before taking action.

Being eager for spiritual test resultsSerious students want to look at their test results to improve, and believers should likewise eagerly examine their spiritual lives.

Quick self-judgment is not burdensomeJudging oneself often takes only a fraction of a second and brings immediate confirmation and clarity from the Lord.

Following the example of JesusJesus prayed and sought God earnestly before any fall, providing a goal for believers to follow in His steps.
