1:18
Believers are God's workmanship called to become like Him. Christ's life was a prophetic example, not just a sacrifice. Delighting in God aligns your desires with His will, not a transaction for material blessings.
Believers are God's workmanship called to become like Him. Christ's life was a prophetic example, not just a sacrifice. Delighting in God aligns your desires with His will, not a transaction for material blessings.
We are his workmanship, and he desires us to be like him in everything we do. Why, you say? Why, Pastor? So that you would have no excuse not to be like him. Ah, so I wouldn't have any excuse not to be like him. Ah, my goodness. He didn't just save you. He didn't just save me. He set an example. His life wasn't only a sacrifice, it was a prophecy of who you are called to become. So how does this happen practically? How does a believer actually grow into a body that can carry the head? Psalms 37:4 says, delight yourself also in the Lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Most of us read that as a transaction. We want to have a transactional relationship with God. So we read Psalms 37:4 as a transaction, but it says delight in God and he He will give you what you want. New car, right spouse, bigger paycheck, better house, upgraded clothes, best poke tailoring. Uh, but that's not what the verse says. Uh, look closer. Look closer at this verse.
