"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

God's Purpose
The purpose of Christ was to do the will of the Father, and He would not let anything get in the way of completing this purpose. This was His single purpose. His love for God made everything else less. Sin is the opposite, it is when we let something become more important that our love for God. His poverty did not matter, his pain, his suffering, his ridicule did not matter! He condemned pomp and pride! He loved the Father with everything. Christ calls us to humble ourselves and receive eternal life. The believer must also find their purpose in God in order to have continued unity through agreement with God! Everything else is false religion. Jesus Christ must be exalted above everything else. Christ did all for the will of the Father, we must join His purposes in this. Christ came to show us the Father and those who follow Him will be baptized in the Holy Spirit and purified by faith.

Christian Perfection
This sermon jam is focuses on how it is the will of God to sanctify His followers as they follow Him and live in obedience to His word. This is what Jesus prays for in His high priestly prayer, that His disciples would be sanctified by the Truth. His disciples were separated from the sin of the world, they were consecrated to God, and Jesus said that He would perfect them as they kept His word. It is the will of God that His disciples are to be sanctified! True disciples must remain consecrated to God in order to go on in faith. He does not want them to turn from Him and lose their faith. The prayer of Christ is asking His Father to sanctify His disciples, and this is only possible as believers go on in consecrated obedience to God. Perfection takes places after consecration through daily, developmental obedience. May each disciple remain obedient, endure without spot, and allow God to reveal Christ within them. May this sermon jam be an encouragement to you to continue on in your Christian walk. Please listen to it and share it with others.
