The Flesh vs The Spirit 🤔 Exposing the 4 Types of Christians - Part 2
from Bridal Cry Ministries · host Matthew Enns, Daniel Mastrolonardo
Carnal Christianity is a state where one's natural self and desires are in opposition to the nature of the Spirit.The influence of Calvinism and denominational boxes can shape theological beliefs and limit the understanding of the fullness of Christ.Every individual has the choice to go from life to life or death to death, and this choice is present throughout Scripture.Appropriating scripture involves acknowledging and embracing the truth of God's word and not denying oneself the privileges and rights available in Christ.The process of surrendering and dying to self is a daily practice that leads to spiritual growth and transformation.Increasing the lordship of Christ in different areas of life is a continual journey of surrender and meekness.Millions of micro decisions shape our Christian life, and choosing to align with the lordship of Christ leads to life and growth.Emphasizing all aspects of Christ and avoiding overemphasis on specific doctrines or beliefs leads to a more holistic understanding of the faith.Saying yes to the teachings of Paul and embracing corrective instruction leads to spiritual progress and maturity.The Bible contains many 'ifs' that require personal response and choice, highlighting the importance of individual responsibility in the Christian journey.Repentance is a key theme in Scripture, and turning away from carnality and embracing Christ leads to life and freedom.The consequences of rejecting God and persisting in carnality lead to a progression of depravity and darkness.Overcoming carnality and pursuing Christ requires honesty, self-reflection, and a desire for the life and power found in Him.Undivided devotion to Christ is the goal, and surrendering to His lordship leads to a transformed and abundant life. 👇 All The Things 👇Subscribe and Watch to the Bridal Cry YouTube HERE:📱 ➡︎YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTa9GqZZwSBCTIEKVBV5a9g?sub_confirmation=1__________________________________________________________________________________Exclusive Content (Patreon)https://patreon.com/BridalCry__________________________________________________________________________________Websitehttps://bridalcry.com/_________________________________________________________________________________Link to Referenced Bookshttps://www.amazon.com/shop/danielmastrolonardo/list/19TUBTH0WYB4P__________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us!
