What if the key to a fulfilling new year isn't about setting more goals but embracing something already completed? Join us as we explore the liberating concept of resting in God's finished work and how this perspective can impact your life as 2025 approaches. This episode challenges the norm of setting resolutions, like weight loss, that rarely stick past March, and instead invites you to experience the peace that comes from understanding the true meaning behind "It is finished." We promise you'll gain a refreshing outlook on living in victory and freedom, not through striving, but by embracing your true identity in God's plan.
Throughout our conversation, we unpack the profound implications of the "finished work" of Christ, examining its impact on our spiritual journey. Discover how Jesus’s fulfillment of redemption abolishes barriers between God and humanity, shifting the focus from escaping hell to nurturing an intimate relationship with Him. Through insightful discussions on passages from Hebrews, Colossians, and Matthew, we delve into the transformation from the old covenant to the new, highlighting the significance of living with the awareness of God's presence within us. This exploration reshapes traditional religious norms, empowering you to embrace a gospel-centered life.
As we approach the new year, we encourage you to ground yourself in the truth of Christ's accomplishments, allowing it to transform your priorities and relationships. Setting kingdom-centered goals aligned with God's view of us, rather than self-focused resolutions, can lead to a life of purpose and joy. We also emphasize the importance of actively engaging with the Bible, challenging assumptions, and uncovering liberating insights. Together, let's walk confidently into the new year, assured by God's ongoing work in our lives, as highlighted in Philippians 1:6, and embrace the endless possibilities that faith brings.
