Obedience is the proof of love
Obedience is the product of love

It takes God to love God

Jesus, in stating that love for God is the “first” commandment, understood that if such love were in place all else of importance would follow, including “hearing and doing.”

Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy

“In any given moment, it is impossible to live in the power of the Spirit and sin at the same time. When a Christian chooses to sin, the Holy Spirit is still present, but you are most likely suppressing or ignoring His counsel.”

Francis Chan, Forgotten God

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

2 Peter 1:3-4

Salvation is a starting line, not a finish line

1. We CAN know Him

2. We CAN be Transformed

3. We CAN overcome the World

The world wants to overcome our testimony
The world wants to overcome our faith
