Paul tells us because of our identity in God, we are on a mission – to be salt and light in a culture desperately needing to see the reality of Him from His people. Part 3.
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Thought of the day—
There is an eternally significant difference between knowing God and knowing about God. Jesus defines eternal life as “knowing God”, not knowing about God. The Apostle Paul’s life pursuit was “Knowing Christ” not about Christ. And how would we know the difference? People who know God live a life of self- denying humility. People who know about God live a life of self-satisfying pride. This is always true. No one who truly knows God thinks highly of themselves, defends themselves, focus on themselves, or lives for themselves. It is impossible to claim to have encountered Christ, been changed by Christ, know Christ and continue to live me-centered lives (John 17:3; Philippians 3:10).
