Faithful Christianity - Wednesday Class

Lesson 3 of 9 January 20, 2019

The class delved into the theme of 'faithful Christianity,' emphasizing the transformative power of being sanctified and cleansed through faith in Jesus Christ. Teacher Jeremy Havlik highlighted that believers are already washed, sanctified, and justified at the moment of baptism, as described in 1 Corinthians 6:11. The lesson also addressed the importance of aligning our affections with God rather than worldly distractions, drawing from the idea that our greatest treasures are the things we treasure most. The teacher stressed that Christians must keep their minds set on things above (Colossians 3:1) and that Christ should be the center of our lives (Colossians 3:4). The class underscored that spiritual maturity involves rejecting sinful desires and worldly priorities, as outlined in Ephesians 1, which details the spiritual blessings believers receive, such as being made holy, blameless, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. The discussion concluded with an exhortation to remain focused on God amidst life's challenges.

1 Corinthians 6:11

But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
