Submitting to God’s Greater Plan
While countless people have lived throughout history, only a few are remembered because their lives changed the course of events. In Christian history, one of the most influential figures is the Apostle Paul. Through his ministry, God used him to spread the gospel throughout the Gentile world, and nearly half of the New Testament bears his name. Yet before Paul became the apostle we know today, he was Saul—the fierce persecutor of the Church.
A Diagnosis of Sensuality
As we conclude the monthly focus on sensuality, it is important to examine our hearts honestly before God. Sensuality is not only about outward sinful behaviour. A person can appear very active in church, look religious outwardly, and yet still walk in the flesh. This is why we need spiritual discernment. The real issue is not merely what we do externally, but whether we are living by the Spirit of God or by our own strength and human effort.
Scandal of Grace
Every person longs for justice. Deep within us, we believe that people should receive what they deserve. Yet the Gospel reveals something shocking. Though we were guilty before God and deserving of judgment, Jesus Christ took our place. The punishment that belonged to us was laid upon Him. Through His baptism, where He took upon Himself the sins of the world, and through His death and resurrection, He fulfilled the righteousness of God completely. Grace does not ignore sin or lower God’s standards. Grace upholds righteousness because Jesus paid the full price for sin once and for all.
Dangers of Living for Sensual Pleasure
As the world continues to pursue sensual pleasure without restraint, the effects become increasingly visible in every area of life. This message therefore examines three serious dangers that arise from living according to the flesh: the effects of pride and selfishness, the absence of morality, and the misconception of anger and vengeance. Through God’s Word, we are reminded not to follow the direction of the world, but to remain spiritually alert and steadfast in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
