Adorning the Doctrine of God Our Savior
By Charles Finney0MAT 5:16ROM 12:12CO 3:2GAL 5:22EPH 2:8PHP 1:27COL 3:17TIT 2:10JAS 1:221PE 2:12Charles Finney emphasizes the importance of adorning the doctrine of God our Savior, as expressed in Titus 2:10. He explains that this doctrine is centered on God's grace aimed at redeeming and purifying us to live holy lives. Finney urges believers to honor the gospel through their actions, as their lives serve as a testament to its power and truth. He warns that failing to adorn the gospel not only dishonors it but also leads to personal ruin and hinders its success in the world. Ultimately, he encourages Christians to live out their faith authentically, as their example can draw others to Christ and demonstrate the transformative power of the gospel.
David Livingstone’s Example
By K.P. Yohannan0MAT 5:16MAT 28:19LUK 18:22JHN 15:5ROM 12:12CO 5:20GAL 2:20PHP 1:6COL 3:171PE 2:12K.P. Yohannan shares the transformative encounter between Henry Stanley and David Livingstone, emphasizing how Livingstone's authentic faith and commitment to Christ profoundly impacted Stanley, who had previously been critical of religion. Livingstone's life exemplified the call to 'Leave all and follow Me,' demonstrating that true Christianity is not about programs but about allowing Christ's love to flow through us. Stanley's conversion, which occurred without Livingstone's direct efforts, highlights the power of living out one's faith authentically. The sermon encourages believers to continue their journey of faith and to embody the love of Christ in their lives.
