The core of the gospel ("Good news") is that Jesus is King, that his resurrection declares he is "the son of God in power", and all people are called to trust in Him and accept his rule.
A life that is worthy of God's call is not about a change of external behaviour patterns, but about a total renovation of the heart and mind - the "new self".
God is Holy, He calls us to be set apart, and by the power of His Spirit, to be made Holy like His Holy Son, Jesus.
God is calling us to a life of holiness, being fully set apart for Him in every way. When we choose that, there is good fruit seen in our lives.
A heart submitted to Jesus knows that obedience, confession, and repentance are part of a daily walk with God.
When Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well in Sychar that he would give living water to those who believe in him, he was very consciously and deliberately referring to himself as the subject and fulfilment of Old Testament prophecies.
Jesus wants and is able to create a new well of life within you. His promise is that "whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst ... will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life"
David was anointed to be king long before he actually became king of Israel. What can we learn from David about stewarding God's anointing upon our own lives?
Like watching a major road project (e.g. the Hexham bridge M1 bypass), change and growth in our lives can be hard to observe. But we can see over time that God is committed to our growth and maturity we will work with him. Pete Scazzero in his book “Emotionally Healthy Discipleship says this “Emotional Health and Spiritual maturity are inseparable. It is impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.” I feel that this is what Paul is saying in Ephesians. The Gentiles don’t know any different – they walk Indulgence, impurity, greed, sensuality. But he is speaking to Christ-followers telling them that they don’t have any excuses. He’s calling it out. Put off your old self with it’s deceitful desires Allow your minds to have Christ-like attitudes Put on the new self, created to be like God in righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:11-24
