So it's not perfection. It's progression. God is not asking for perfection because if we were perfect or if we had the opportunity to obtain some sort of perfection, then him sending Jesus Christ in the first place would make absolutely no sense. Perfection is found in righteousness and justification is found through Jesus Christ, not through our own works, not through our own strength.

It's through confiding in the cross. And so the best thing that we could do as Christians is take captive of every single thought, pretension, imagination, and, and, and lower it, take it captive next to anything that is trying to exalt itself next to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. It's taking it captive so it doesn't overrule the authority and the throne of God.

Like to be a disciple literally means to be disciplined and die. And it's like people are walking around, they're like, oh, I'm Christian, but you haven't died to your flesh, which is actually the most crucial part to you being a Christian. And so knowing that your cross is, has a destination of death is crucial to you walking out the Christian lifestyle because it's not a self-righteous gospel.

It's a self-denial or it's not even like a self-discovering gospel that we believe in. It's a self-denial gospel. We are denying everything of what our sin and flesh is producing. And we're saying no to that and pursuing the things of God. It's not leaning on your own understanding, but instead it's, It's surrendering the things to the Lord and we're saved by grace through faith.

So what does that mean? I think people believe in God's grace, but they don't understand that God's grace has to be partnered with the faith of which we profess. So when Ephesians 2, 8 through 9 says we are saved by grace through faith, that means that as Christians, God has saved us by his grace. What is grace? Grace is undeserved favor and admiration, right?

So God loves us and has compassion for us, not because we deserve it or earn it, but simply because he just wants to. God wants to love us. And that's what's beautiful about the faith. And so where faith comes in, Hebrews 11 one tells us that faith is not what we see. It's what we don't see. It's confidence in what we hope for. So faith is confidence in what God says and what God says.

which is based off of truth and trusting in the Lord. Faith is belief and trust in everything of who God says he is, the true authentic God, not the God that you make up in your head, but of who God says he is. And faith, which we know also through scripture, is faith. Faith without works is dead.

So in order for you to have faith, which then partners with grace, you have to have faith that is also accompanied by works because works is the evidence of your faith. Works doesn't earn you to faith. Instead, works is the overflow of your faith. So what does that practically look like? So because I believe in Jesus Christ,

Even though it can be really easy for me to be upset with people who have done me wrong and people who have persecuted me and came against me and whatever it may be. It would be really easy for me to snap on them, cuss them out, whatever that may be.

But because I love the Lord, the love of God then overflows into the works of showing compassion and grace, even when I don't want to, or even when it comes to serving. You know, someone may have faith in Jesus Christ, but then they don't want to serve a church. They don't want to serve other people. They're almost apathetic towards others.
