1 Peter 1:13-16

IS IT COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC FOR GOD TO EXPECT SINFUL MAN TO BE HOLY LIKE HIMSELF?

MATTHEW 5:43-48

GOD HAS AN EXPECTATION

IT IS ONLY THROUGH WHOLENESS IN NATURE THAT HOLINESS IS ACCOMPLISHED

THERE IS NO MAGICAL FORMULA TO WHOLENESS

REVEAL OUR SINFULNESS.

FORGIVE OUR SINFULNESS.

FREE US FROM OUR SINFULNESS.

IF GOD IS BIG ENOUGH TO FORGIVE US OUR SIN, HE IS ALSO BIG ENOUGH TO FREE US OF THAT SAME SIN

WE HAVE TO DESIRE MORE THAN JUST FORGIVENESS, WE HAVE TO DESIRE LIFE CHANGE

1. PUT ALL YOUR HOPE IN JESUS.
2. LIVE AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN.
3. DON’T SLIP BACK INTO YOUR OLD WAYS LIVING TO SATISFY YOUR OWN DESIRES

UNTIL WE CAN BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN SATISFY US AS MUCH AS OUR SIN, WE WILL NEVER CHANGE

GALATIANS 5:22-23 

OBTAINING THE REAL GOD NATURE IS ONLY ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH FAITH!

FAITH IS TRUST

PHILIPPIANS 2:1-8

WE HAVE TO TRUST GOD LIKE JESUS TRUSTED GOD!  GOD IS ABLE TO SATISFY ME GREATER THAN MY SIN

GOD EXTENDS HIS GRACE, MERCY, AND LOVE THROUGH US LISTENING AND OBEYING TO HIS WORD

1. GOD EXPECTS WHOLENESS AND HOLINESS
2. GOD’S PLAN DOESN’T JUST REDEEM US FROM SIN, BUT LEADS US TO A NEW NATURE
3. GOD’S PLAN IS ONLY ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH TRUST
