How This Thinking Hurts Our Witness And The Gospel…

Who of us at any given moment could say that every single aspect of our life belongs to God?

There are TWO big problems with that kind of thinking:

First, it can become an excuse that Christians use NOT to bear witness of the Gospel. 1 Corinthians 1v27,30-31

Live your life as a representative of what Jesus can do in a life yielded to Him.

Secondly, this misconception presents unsaved people with conditions that they’re not even remotely prepared to meet.

Holiness is a process of learning to trust and walk with Jesus more and more.

Philippians 3:16 Only let us live up to what we have already __________.

Live your life as a representative of what Jesus can do in a life yielded to Him.

-How will this knowledge change how I witness to others?
