Sermon notes from a series by Rev Tom Jeffries, based on John's gospel
- True faith involves dynamic interaction- receiving Christ into every aspect of life. It is not enough to just believe in Christ, we must receive Him too and make Him our personal Saviour.
- A true believer will keep on following Jesus, even when they don't understand everything (look at Andrew and Peter when Jesus first called them).
- A true believer follows Jesus whatever the cost.
- A true believer feeds on Christ. They read His Word, pray to Him, and depend on Him for everything.
- A true believer accepts the hard sayings of Jesus.
-A true believer worships Christ. This is expressed in praise and thanksgiving, and deeds and acts of service (not to buy God's favour, but in response to His grace shown towards us).
- A true believer obeys Christ.
The secret of success in the Christian life is to focus on Christ.
Commitment at the highest level is seen in Christ Himself. He loved us till the end, till we were redeemed. Our commitment to Him pales into insignificance when we look at what He did for us on the cross.
Challenges:
What areas of your life are not surrendered to God?
Are there things you treasure more than following Christ?
What is your commitment to Christ like?
