Title: God Will Complete His Work in Us
Date: 06/27/2021
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 emphasizes the importance of hope alongside faith and love, drawing from 1 Corinthians 13. The speaker cautions that the devil often tries to discourage believers by focusing on past failures. Instead, believers must hold onto the assurance that God who began a good work in them will certainly complete it, providing strength for the Christian life, especially as times become more intense.
