Guys, what do you find your identity in - your work, success, family, friends, behaviors, failures? Scripture tells you that “as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6-7). Faith in Christ begins with receiving the free gift of salvation by grace through faith (see Ephesians 2:8-9).
Men, what is holding you back from God’s best for your life - secret sins, pornography, addiction? There is freedom found in a relationship with Jesus Christ who offers forgiveness and redemption from sin and replaces your old sin nature with a new heart. In the Gospel of John, Jesus claimed to be “the light of the world” - and whoever follows Christ walks in the light and not in the darkness. Jesus also says that freedom from sin is found in a relationship with him! Don’t allow the shame of your past hold you back from the goodness that God has for your future!
Guys, it is very important to have good, solid, Christ-centered community to encourage and equip you to grow as a man of God.
The Christian life isn’t a call to a life of convenience and ease - it’s a battle cry against sin, against the flesh, against the powers and principalities of this world that set themselves up against the knowledge of God.
