During the message, we talked about being able to identify whether a person was “in” the church, or just “at” the church. What do the following passages say about the person who is IN the Body of Christ?
Galatians 5:22-26, 1 John 2:3-6, John 17:20-24
Honestly, this is easy to talk about, but sometimes difficult to follow through with… What is the source of our obedience?
John 14:15-26, Acts 5:29-32, 1 Corinthians 5:14-18
Am I walking in obedience to HIm? What are some specific areas of obedience that I need to check in my personal life?
Does all this mean that there is an element of performance built into the Christian walk? Maybe it is important to distinguish between “performance,” and “sanctification,” which is the ongoing process of the Gospel being pressed ever-deeper into our lives by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:10-17, Colossians 3:12-17
What about those “moments” where I blow it, and I act in the flesh, rather than in the Spirit? Does that mean I am “out” of The Church (the Body of Christ?)
ON one hand, you have THIS verse: 1 John 3:4, but on the other hand you have Romans 7:14-25. How do we balance the two?
The bottom line is: 1 John 1:9
