Conforming In His Image Through Truth

James 1:21
21 Where fore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.


• Salvation is different than being saved
• Being saved is immediate but salvation is a process


Colossians 3:1-10
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds. 10 And have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him

• The saving of your soul is a process
• After salvation you have the responsibility for saving your soul
• Every time you have a life group meeting you’re helping to save the souls of the people in your group
• Helping to get them anchored in the Lord and in the Word
• You can get them delivered but it takes diligence on their part to stay delivered
• Staying delivered is staying away from what had them bound
• God is still a God of wrath and you can play out the grace that’s on your life
• God’s wrath is him taking his hand off your life
• You must take responsibility for yourself and repent
• Verse 10 , you must be renewed in knowledge
• The Greek word for knowledge is “epignosis” which means higher knowledge
• That higher knowledge is Truth


3 John 1-4,8
1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prosperth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear my children walk in truth. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers to the truth.

• What activates the blessing of verse 2 is you walking in the truth

John 8: 31-32
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

• “Word” in these verses means truth
• The more of the truth you get in you, the more it’s making you free
• You must stay in truth and not just hear it because truth is transforming



2 Peter 1:12
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth


• You should never be intimidated to tell the truth because people may know the truth but might not be in the truth
• Just because they’ve heard the truth doesn’t mean they know it or that it’s anchored in them


Ephesians 1:13
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.

• The word of truth generates faith which moves you to action.
