December 16, 2025 – Jesus is All We Need
Sermon: 1950 The Authority of the Holy Spirit, Part 2
Pray Over This
“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Ponder This
We received weakness from Adam and godlessness from Adam. To be ungodly doesn’t mean to be vile. It simply means not to be like God. You are not reflecting God’s image completely as you were made to! You’re not godly!
One of the problems is that we measure ourselves by ourselves. We look at ourselves, and we have our own little standards. Sometimes people say, “Well, I’m just as good as those people down there at that church.” I’ve been looking for a person honest enough to say, “I’m just as bad as those folks down there at that church.”
Through Jesus, the perfect Man, we see the full resolution of all we need. We see God’s justice, with His judgment being satisfied with Jesus. When my sins were laid upon one Man, the Lord Jesus Christ, then God’s justice was satisfied. That sin has been paid for. Therefore, I don’t have to endure the wrath of God, but God’s mercy is shown. Then, when God makes me righteous, God’s grace is given.
- What are some ways you do not reflect God? What are some ways you want to reflect God but don’t?
- How does the hope of Jesus change the challenge of being godly?
Practice This
Consider the areas in which you are not reflecting God in your life and ask Him to transform those areas.
