Our Job is to Bring Every Man/Woman Into the Image of God



Ephesians 4: 17 – 20
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ:

• Your walk is your conduct or behavior
• Your soul can be saved, but your body will never be saved
• Your understanding is in your mind
• You must come into maturity through the renewing of your mind (Reading and studying the Word)
• If you received all that Jesus has for you - You would not live a lowly life



1 John 1: 8
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us..

• The job of truth is to make you free


2 John 1 – 8
1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truths. 2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

• When you are walking in truth, you are holding up a standard
• Truth brings you up - Sin brings you down
• You must want to stand and fight for truth
• The higher the standard you can achieve, the more God can trust you
• Truth demands change
• Compromise is easier when you fail to grasp the truth

3 John 1-4
1The elder unto the well beloved 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 prospereth. 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 that my children walk in truth.

• “Truth testifies of truth” – Pastor Phillip Goudeaux
• God loves it when you walk in truth




3 John 1:8
• Once you receive the truth, you still need to be encouraged
• Truth will make a change in your life
• Truth keeps raising the bar
• It stagnates if you are not using and utilizing it
• Truth closes the door
