It challenges us to die to our selfish desires, surrender our dreams and hopes, and instead live for Him and for others. The message highlights the importance of obedience, working out our salvation with fear and trembling, and following Jesus wholeheartedly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for that question and it's a wonderful question and again scripture gives us the answer and the answer is in first Thessalonians chapter 5 10 and there it says whether we wake or sleep we should live together with Jesus. Whether we wake or sleep we should live together with him and this is a hard commandment in a way because we have to look at our lives that we live today, we live in the world and here Jesus says we ought to live with him and like him and this is so hard for us because we have to step away from the old man, from the old person which is sinful, has its desires for the world, has its desires for the things of the world and to step away from that means to die to the self and the dying to the self is very very hard because I gotta say no to myself and look at what Jesus wants to do and so he also said that we should no longer live for ourselves but that we live for him and for others and that is giving up the self and all of my own dreams and hopes and instead following the will of God and then following him as a human being, as an adult in obedience and we adults we don't like obedience, we like to do our own thing, we like to follow our own thoughts and our own desires and here Jesus says now if you want to finish well work out your salvation with fear and trembling and follow me, follow me, follow me. Thank you. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/lvvChQ4kjIU.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/edgar-reich/how-can-believers-finish-well-in-their-walks-with-the-lord/ ========================================================================
