Summary

Title: I am what I am Scripture: 2Co 3:18 (ESV) And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. However you and I strive all the time to be something that we are not. We strive to be a better Christian Or we strive to do better works for God Or we strive to bring glory to God These things are all striving in vain. For the only work good enough for this Holy God - Is the work done by this Holy God - His name is Jesus Christ - His work alone is the only work o good enough for almighty God The sin nature knows my flesh can not please God - So striving to make my flesh please God - Is futile and worthless. Rom 7:18 (ESV) For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. Rom 8:8 (ESV) Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Paul tells us that our flesh cannot please God Paul concludes in Rom Ch. 7 - That his flesh serves the law of sin. - His flesh cannot please God. Rom 8:3 (ESV) For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, And the best lies that our sin nature and satan have. - Is that we need to strive to fight our sin - And that we need to strive to be the Christians that we are supposed to be. Sin will always get in your and my face - Sin will always pick a fight with us - Sin wants us to retaliate against it. - But what does being dead to Sin really mean? This is why Paul says: Rom 6:11 (ESV) So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. We strive to fight the sin - Because the sin enticed us to fight it. - It picked the fight o And we get in the ring - We fight until there is no energy left - And the sin will win the fight - Make no mistake o Sin will always win o When we choose to fight it. Telling someone to let it go - Is really a foolish thing to say. We were never recreated to fight the sin in our lives. - We were made dead to it. - And made alive to God Striving to know Jesus more - is not striving to not sin Striving to know Jesus more - Is not doing good and right things Striving to know Jesus more - In not striving to bring God Glory Striving to know Jesus more - Means – Striving to know Jesus more When someone says - be the Christian you were meant to be - It’s like saying to the moon shine brighter than what you are shining now. It’s foolishness. Because the moon can only be what the moon is We can only be what we are. The burden of change is not on me. - The burden of change in not on you. - Our only true burden is to strive to know Christ more. The electricity cannot change It will be what it is. Because that is all that it is. But if that electricity passes through a transformer - It is changed - Into what the transformer wants it to be. 2Co 3:18 (ESV) And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
