Diligent Use Of Faith For Obedience || Union With Christ and Faith - 22 || Sanctification

Описание: The video, "Diligent Use Of Faith For Obedience," focuses on the concept of sanctification (0:57), which is the ultimate goal of human creation: to be holy as God is holy. This holiness is achieved through obedience to God's commandments (1:24), which are summarized as loving God and loving one's neighbor (1:31).

Key takeaways from the video include:

Believing as a Work (1:57): Faith involves knowledge of God, acceptance of that knowledge, and trusting in it. It engages the mind, heart, and will (2:23-2:50).
Old vs. New Nature (3:31): The sermon highlights the contrast between the old, corrupt nature inherited from Adam and the new nature received through faith in Christ. Actions stemming from the old nature, even seemingly good ones, are not acceptable to God (5:11-5:51).
The Problem with the Old Nature (9:18): The old nature is inherently hostile to God and His laws (10:03). It is focused on worldly desires and cannot submit to God's will. Cain's rejected offering is given as an example of works originating from a corrupt nature (11:51-12:53).
The New Nature and Acceptance (13:31): When a person believes in Christ, they receive a new nature, created in God's likeness, which enables them to live righteously and do works acceptable to God (13:51). This new nature is empowered by divine grace (14:55-15:36).
Obedience by Faith (31:31): True obedience to God's commandments comes from faith, not from human strength or ability. Trying to obey God in one's own power leads to dissatisfaction and frustration, as illustrated by the rich young ruler (32:58).
Living by Faith, Not by Sight (43:54): Believers are called to walk by faith, meaning they live according to God's word and not based on what they see, feel, or the opinions of the world. Walking by sight implies trusting in oneself, while walking by faith means trusting in God (45:19-51:12).
Christ as the Motivator (38:48): Paul's life is presented as an example of a life motivated by Christ and His love, rather than by self-interest. This leads to deeds that are acceptable to God (38:48-40:23).
