Learning To Live The God Life

Francis Isibor Snr • April 26, 2025 • 44 views

Francis Isibor Snr. continues a self-purification telecast by explaining that covenant involves both God’s gracious help and the believer’s willing response. God reveals truth and teaches people how to live his life; believers learn the covenant’s commandments rather than treating Christian identity as an assumption. Jesus’ surrender in Gethsemane and the call to choose life illustrate willing agreement and obedient discipleship. The central exposition of 1 John 2 links knowing Christ with keeping his word, the perfection of love and walking as Jesus walked. The vine and branches, the yoke of Christ and the call to look to Jesus develop a picture of formation through relationship. The speaker then dwells on the command to love one’s brother, asking why selfishness, rivalry and the desire to push others down are so incompatible with walking in the light. Philippians 2 provides the practical answer: be of one mind, reject selfish ambition, esteem others and attend to their interests. An illustrative sports story, the tribes helping one another receive their inheritance and the shared journey of the heroes of faith all reinforce the communal character of the race. The episode ends by calling brothers and sisters to run faithfully together and care for the whole people of God, with further teaching promised in the next instalment.
