You’re transformed into the image and likeness of Christ

Over time, you become more mature in Christ if you listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit rather than doing your own will. You’re transformed into the image and likeness of Christ. Christ is fully formed in you, and the fleshly nature disappears. That’s the promise. That’s the certain hope. You’re somewhere on that Pathway to maturity. So am I. With maturity comes discernment. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He’s the Pathway on which you walk. He’s the Truth that lights your Pathway so you can see where you’re going. And He’s the Life you’re approaching. Since you’re on this Pathway, you aren’t staying in one place. You’re moving forward in Christ and changing as you go. It’s possible to go backward but not if you desire God and Truth. If you’re sincere in following Christ, you cannot fail because your success doesn’t depend on you. Christ is the Captain. That doesn’t remove your free will. You still choose to yield to Him or resist Him. He won’t force you.

DO YOU LOVE THE LORD?

Do you love the Lord?
Do you love the Lord?
Do you find yourself abiding in His presence day and night?

Do you love the Lord?
Do you love the Lord?
Are you seeking Him with all your might.

If you love the Lord,
If you love the Lord,
You will find yourself abiding in His presence day and night.

If you love the Lord,
If you love the Lord,
Come and seek His face with all your might.

Come and love the Lord.
Come and love the Lord.
Come and find yourself abiding in His presence day and night.

Come and love the Lord.
Come and love the Lord.
Come and seek His face with all your might.

Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He’s the Pathway. He’s the Truth that lights the Pathway. And He’s the Life that’s the destination of the Pathway. You need to stay on the Pathway. When you leave the Pathway, you can either slip off the Pathway or step off the Pathway. In either case, God has a solution.

You sometimes get off the Pathway. You either slip or step off, but you do miss the way sometimes. You’re in a war. Satan is working to deceive you. If you step off the Pathway, God corrects you, forgives you, and brings you back on the Pathway provided you admit you’re wrong. You must confess your sins.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1 John 1:9

He doesn’t just promise to pardon you. He promises to cleanse you, to make you clean. He wants to change your sinful nature and purge out your natural tendency toward unrighteousness. Before you’re done, you’ll look into exactly how Christ intends to transform you.

It’s possible to know something absolutely but not completely. You know Jesus Christ if you have a relationship with Him. And yet, you don’t know Him as you ought to know Him. Your relationship grows over time. You mature in Christ. You don’t know Him completely. And yet, you know Christ absolutely. Your relationship with Him is absolute. It’s undeniable.

Scripture tells me if I think I know a matter I don’t know it as I ought to know it. If I think there’s something I understand well, God needs to show me what I don’t understand about it. That doesn’t mean I don’t know anything. I know some things. I’m certain about them. And yet, God is going to give me a better understanding of those things as I walk with Him and listen to His voice. The same goes for you.

The only way to know anything absolutely is when God shows it to you through Jesus Christ. And yet, even what God shows you is in part.

Jesus shows the way for all who follow Him. He reveals the meaning of life. He explains the Bible.

However, don’t let anyone deceive you. Divine revelation will never conflict with Scripture. It will show you how to apply Scripture to your life. It will expose those who add their own ideas to Scripture. It will lead you in ways that agree with Scripture, but it will never disagree with Scripture.

And, when I say divine revelation, I’m not talking about adding new books to the Bible or changing the Bible in any way. I’m talking about being led by the Holy Spirit into the righteousness of God. I’m talking about the Holy Spirit explaining the Bible to you and applying the truth of the Bible to your life in a practical way.

And set loose mighty streams of mercy, easing untold care.

You need truth, but you can’t self-generate truth. You can only make up stuff. What’s the solution?

The solution is divine revelation. Jesus is real and knowable. All truth, wisdom, understanding, and knowledge are hidden in Him. He will lead you and teach you the truth you need to know. He’s the secret key to knowing the truth.

Divine revelation offers true premises, but those who refuse to respond to Christ are stuck. They’re stuck in a world without the possibility of knowing the truth. Without the possibility of knowing the truth, they can’t think rationally. Since ungodly thinkers don’t want to respond to Christ, they claim everything is relative. They claim no absolutes exist. They fall into postmodern insanity.

COST

The rich man came to Jesus and asked what he must do
For he’d obeyed the orders and the laws from early youth
And he desired the Kingdom until that very day,
When Jesus said sell all you have and give it all away.

Lay down your own kingdoms. Submit to Christ above.
Take your cross follow Him. Let Him reign in love.
The Kingdom is one, one under the Son.
Lay down your little kingdom and exalt the Holy One.

You have asked for vision, eyes that you may see,
And you have seen that God has called the church to unity,
But quickly, you discover the cost is very high.
The Kingdom costs you everything, it’s something you must buy.

Lay down your own kingdoms. Submit to Christ above.
Take your cross follow Him. Let Him reign in love.
The Kingdom is one, one under the Son.
Lay down your little kingdom and exalt the Holy One.

Even if some of what you believe is wrong, you can find your errors and correct them. It’s OK to be on the road to a destination when you’re heading toward the destination. You haven’t arrived, but at least you’re on the way.

It’s NOT good to be on the wrong road that will never get you to your destination. It’s not good to be trying to find the truth where no truth can be found. However, getting on the right road that leads to truth is within your grasp. Like I said, you need to know the secret.

The Secret Key

Suppose you limited yourself to the human mind alone. Then, the only way you could know anything would be to know everything about everything. You would have to be all-knowing and incapable of being wrong. You would have to be absolutely pure so no lie could fool you. No human meets that standard. Thankfully, you know Someone Who knows everything, Who can’t lie, Who can’t be deceived, and Who is willing to reveal the necessary truths to you. Only God meets that standard. You can have absolute knowledge through Jesus Christ. It’s absolute but partial knowledge. You can only know what God reveals. Without the truth that flows from Christ alone, every human thought is corrupt.

COME, LORD JESUS, SHINE MORE AND MORE

Holy Word, precious seed within us,
Start to grow and to lead within us
Purge out all that is world flesh and darkness,
Grow to Christ manifested in fullness.
Shine through us. Shine through us.

Come, Lord Jesus, Shine more and more.
Ever onward through door after door.
Until as eagles we will soar,
As we grow to the fullness of Jesus.

Every gift by the Spirit given,
So the Body equipped and living,
Builds itself up by serving and loving.
It is Jesus, not flesh who is working.
Shine through us. Shine through us.

CHORUS

See the Body come into oneness,
Then with unity comes the completeness.
One in government, order and kingdom
One in faith, hope and love, and in doctrine.
Shine through us. Shine through us.

What if you found out you were missing the most important, exciting, and fulfilling elements of life?

What if you suddenly found out your most cherished beliefs were all false? What if you found out you were missing the most important, exciting, and fulfilling elements of life? Just imagine that for a moment. Consider how you would feel. It’s not a happy thought, but it’s worth thinking long and hard about.

Stop for a few moments. Don’t just lightly consider those questions without seriously answering them. They’re too important to gloss over. Give it some serious thought.

The Bible speaks to you about those who are forever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. No one wants to be part of that group. Fortunately, the remedy is NOT difficult. At the same time, some people may have trouble admitting they need the remedy because they don’t want to allow reality to correct their firmly-established worldviews. Humility is uncomfortable. Changing your mind is hard. In fact, it’s impossible if you try to do it. There’s only one way. It comes down to this. Stand in God’s presence. Listen to His voice. Yield to His Spirit to the point that He says His words and does His acts through you.
