We are all called to be Christ's clone in the world Rom 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
In my own experience, when being reminded of the need to correct some bad behavior, or to start some new project, I told God that it was tough on me. I argued that it was the way I was built. I am strong in there and weak in here. Can you, God, let it go?
- Jesus Christ in Us (CIU) Col 1:27(To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.).
- We have 2Co 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." And
- 2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
- Ephesians 6:10 - "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power."
Yes, the message is thoughtful and encouraging. It acknowledges the realistic struggles Christians face in living up to Christ's example and offers a balanced perspective by emphasizing reliance on God's grace and strength. Here are a few points that make it effective:
Realistic Acknowledgment: It starts by recognizing the difficulty of imitating Christ, which can resonate with many who feel the same way.
Scriptural Foundation: It uses specific Bible verses to support each point, grounding the message in biblical teaching.
Encouragement and Hope: It shifts from acknowledging human weakness to offering hope and encouragement through God's provision and grace.
Practical Application: It encourages believers to act in faith, relying on Christ's power, which is a practical and actionable takeaway.
Overall, it effectively combines empathy, scriptural support, and practical advice, making it a strong and motivational message.
- 许多人在其他人面前不愿承认自己是基督徒,因为他们知道即使是非信徒也对基督徒抱有一些很高的期望。
- 有些人拒绝领导,因为他们认为自己无法达到领导所需的标准。
- 基督在我们里面(CIU)哥罗西书 1:27(神愿意叫外邦人知道这奥秘的丰富荣耀是什么,就是基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望)。
- 哥林多后书 12:9 但他对我说:“我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力在软弱中显得完全。”
- 还有哥林多后书 9:8 神能将各样的恩惠多多地加给你,使你在各样事上常常富足,可以多多行各样的善事。
- 以弗所书 6:10 - “我还有末了的话:你们要靠着主的大能,和他权能的能力刚强起来。”
