If what we’re believing isn’t effecting what we’re becoming do we really believe?
Three areas that can derail us from living a holy life:
I. LIVING FOR MY OWN LIKES: HEY, LOOK AT ME (Matthew 4:1-4) I love myself more than I love the purpose of God for my life.
II. LIVING FOR THE LIKES OF OTHERS (Matthew 4:5-7) The quickest way we disrupt God’s perfecting process in our lives is trying to portray an image of perfection to others.
III. LIVING FOR LIKES FROM GOD: BOW DOWN (Matthew 4:8-11) Religion says: “All this I will give you if you bow down and worship.” Our God says, “All this I have given you, now bow down and worship.”
When you wake up every day, you don’t have to refresh a screen to see who likes you. God saved you and called you to a holy life!
