A very powerful lesson. This quote captures where modern evangelical Christianity has taken a detour with its focus on charismatic personalities and an emphasis on certain policies while ignoring the character of the one pushing those ideas: “It makes sense that Jesus starts here [at the beatitudes], because everything else flows from our character. If our hearts are right, our actions will follow.”
Thank you for this lesson. I now fully grasp the implications of God’s call to perfection - how it is possible only with a life that is wholly surrendered to Him , empowered by His Spirit through the merits of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The words “total surrender” is easy to say but a challenge to live by. I need to remind myself that it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me…..
