WHO AM I? What Will Define You in 2013?

WHO AM I - What Will Define You in 2013

Here’s a question worthy of being asked at the end of 2012: From what or whom are you drawing your sense of identity? Your identity is your sense of self–those things that make you, you.

From the standpoint of this world and popular culture:

You are a body.
You are a slave to your background.
You are defined by your relationships, or lack thereof.
Your value is determined by your stuff.
Your most important asset is your reputation.

But have you considered your Creator’s input? It sounds starkly different.

GOD: The Father, the Son, and the Spirit

GOD - The Father, the Son, the Spirit

What is the highest possible aim of human life? To know God.

Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth. (Hos 6:3)

“And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” (John 17:3)

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (1 John 5:20)

This sermon explores:

The magnificent words and phrases God has used to describe himself.
The three distinct personalities who possess the fullness of divine nature.
Biblical manifestations of the work of all three divine personalities.

What Will Holiness Look Like This Week?

January 29, 2012 — Leave a comment

As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Pet 1:16)

How can you personally apply those words this week? In a poem written in 1882 and entitled Take Time To Be Holy, William Longstaff poetically put it this way:

Speak oft with thy Lord.
Abide in Him always.
Feed on His word.
Make friends of God’s children.
Help those who are weak.
Forgetting in nothing His blessings to seek.
The world rushes on; spend much time in secret with Jesus alone.
Abiding in Jesus, like Him thou shalt be.
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.
Be calm in thy soul; each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love, thou soon shall be fitted for service above.

As your heavenly Father is holy, may you be holy in all your conduct this week.
