Sermon Summary: John 20:19-22 & 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
- The Christian is a New Creation, But That Doesn’t Mean Perfection
- Why Not? God is most glorified by our gradual sanctification because it reveals the cross of Christ most fully.
- How does sanctification reveal God’s glory most fully?
- Because it preserves our freedom and thus we love God freely
- Because it reveals God’s wisdom and power in all things
- It reveals the full extent of God’s love and human wickedness
- It makes God’s love understandable to others
- More Applications:
- We can have confidence, even in our suffering, sin and weakness, that God is glorified in us
- We can have confidence that God takes pleasure in us and other Christians
- Conclusion – God Is Filling The World With His New Image
