Love Involves Sacrifice, Part 2
Manage episode 442159645 series 3520584
Today, Pastor Colin looks at the pitfalls of living for oneself in a world that encourages self-centredness. Pastor Colin highlights that true happiness and joy come from living for Jesus Christ, who died and rose again for us. Tune in as they explore Romans 12 and the transformative power of love that involves sacrifice.
Pastor Colin emphasises that being "in Christ" means that what was true of Jesus—His death and resurrection—is also true of us. We are now freed from living for ourselves and can find supreme happiness in living for Jesus. Using baptism as a beautiful metaphor, Pastor Colin explains how it signifies our old self dying and our new, Christ-centred life beginning.
This episode dives deep into the reality that living for oneself is not only disappointing but makes happiness impossible. Meanwhile, Christ calls us to a life of self-denial and love that aligns with our new nature in Him. Through sacrifices, humble service, and putting others first, we obey Christ's command to love.
