Confirm Your Calling And Election: Grow In Christian Virtues

Watch
Listen

We have the dignified purpose of being God's image bearer and His spokesperson, but often, we seem to give people the wrong impression of what Christians really are because we have overlooked the need to grow in Christian virtues in our lives. True gospel brings true transformation - not only in the external but also transformation of one's character. A genuine follower of God will naturally pursue Christ-likeness in life, and confirm his election repeatedly through his progressive sanctification. Through this message, may we examine our lives again and confirm if we are indeed in a continual pursuit of Christian virtues God wants us to restore and develop in increasing measure. The cornerstone of a Christian character is faith and love, followed by goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness and mutual affection. May we see these growing in us through the help of Holy Spirit until it becomes our second nature, manifesting the glory of Christ in the darkness of the world.

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
Perspective different (opposite) from God.
Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
Bad choices come with consequences.
How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

A choice based on faith.
– Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
– Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
Faith gives rise to simple heart.
Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
– Prayer-centered living
Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
