Building The Kingdom of God, Part 5

To Be Able To Walk In The Light. Entrance In - Key of Repentance

Continuing To Walk In The Light.

Steady, if unspectacular, progress.

When we come to Christ we are not sinless.

The more we grow closer to Christ we sin less.

To live righteous day to day

Not perfectly, but persistently

Not condemning, but consistently

The standard is Christ.

So as to be cleansed from our sin

Sanctification.

Not daily condemnation, but daily repentance.

Daily preaching of the Gospel to ourselves.

I was a sinner saved by your grace.

But now, I am a Saint being sanctified by your grace.

I am a work in progress.

I may have stumbled, but you have picked me up again.

I know I am not who I once was, but I also know I am not who I will be.

Romans 7:24–25 NASB95

Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

Romans 8:1 NASB95

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Part of the sanctification process is fellowship with one another as we fellowship with God

1 John 4:11–12 NASB95

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

In order to be one as the Father and Son are one.
