In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of our actions and words in influencing the body of Christ and the world. He highlights that sin not only dishonors God and defiles our own character, but it also disrupts and destroys fellowship. The preacher refers to Thomas Boston's "Fourfold State of Human Nature," which states that we are created in God's image, but sin causes us to lose that image. However, through God's grace, we can be remade in His image and ultimately restored to glory. The sermon concludes with a call to pray for a radical transformation of life, seeking knowledge of God and experiencing fellowship with Him.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the transformative experience of being 'Risen-ones with Christ,' urging believers to reflect on whether they have truly risen with Him. He explains that through Christ's death and resurrection, believers are freed from condemnation and judgment, and Christ becomes their life, influencing their spirit, mind, and even their bodies. Sparks outlines the conduct of Risen-ones, which includes putting to death sinful behaviors and embracing a new identity in Christ, transcending social and national distinctions. He challenges the congregation to center their lives on Christ and to seek heavenly things, reminding them that the ultimate measure of their lives will be how much of Christ they embody. The sermon concludes with a call to examine their lives for evidence of being Risen-ones, with Christ as their all.
