Date: 12-06-2015
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 draws parallels between the physical properties of salt and water creating electricity and the spiritual life. He explains that while salt alone has no power, when united with the 'living water' (Jesus/Holy Spirit), it gains the ability to conduct power, enabling believers to witness for Christ. Additionally, the speaker reflects on Psalm 16, emphasizing that true joy and delight must remain fixed on God, not on earthly blessings, and stresses valuing fellow believers as the 'majestic ones.'
