Obedience to the Messiah

Luke 5

Jesus called His followers to exercise faith in Him in such a way that they would draw others to place their faith in Christ as well. When Peter experienced the power and majesty of Jesus, he recognized his own sinfulness and unworthiness. Because of our sin, no one is worthy to stand before holy God. All who trust in Jesus receive forgiveness and His righteousness and enjoy a relationship with God forevermore. Because we have been made holy through the work of Christ, we yield to the ongoing work of the Spirit in changing us to live according to our new identity so that others might see God's power at work in and through us.
