Reflecting the glory of God

(Audio: English, Spanish) ->Alternate

SUMMARY: The Bible talks about a revolutionary transformation that comes from God's Holy Spirit power rather than human resolutions. When we turn our lives to Jesus, a veil is removed from our eyes and we behold the glory of God. This transformation is not a mild adjustment, but a radical metamorphosis of who we are as people. It's about freedom and having the right ruler, God, in charge of our lives. God changes names throughout the Bible to reflect the revolutionary transformation that comes with knowing Him.

The sermon discusses the concept of change and revolution in Christianity, specifically through the act of baptism. The speaker emphasizes the need for a revolutionary passion for personal change, a hatred of sin, and a reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit. The speaker also notes that God's love is unconditional and not dependent on one's ability to change themselves.

God gives us the Holy Spirit to transform us, not a list of rules or self-help books. The Holy Spirit is like living water, fire, and a dove that rests on us. Our goal for 2012 should be to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit and allow Jesus to shine through us, so that people see something different in us and feel His presence. Let's put "more like Jesus" into our GPS and let the Holy Spirit guide us.

I invite you to open up your bibles to Second Corinthians chapter 3. How many people like to make New Year resolutions? How many people keep their New Year resolutions? I am a big fan of New Year resolutions. I think it’s a good discipline to take time to look at our lives and to evaluate how am I doing, how can I grow and change. It’s good thing now, I believe it’s good not to just do it once a year, but regularly.

I have a friend who takes the first Monday morning of every month to evaluate his life and himself and to see how he’s doing. So, I’m a big fan of healthy introspection and self evaluation. But there is a slight problem if we rely on our own resolutions.
