First Church Charlotte

March 17, 2021 | Pastor Nathan Elms If I've been transformed, then why am I still being tempted? We are subject to time, but our testimony takes time, through own faith We are not God's story, we are a part of God's story, but God is telling His own love story through us. Love is the story of God. Our lives answer whether God's love is enough for us, or do we have to be bribed? The language of Transformation in the New Testament is similar to the language of Promise spoken in the Old Testament: 1. Divinely powered 2. Cultivated by community 3. Faith is intentional 4. Life and faith are tested by time The perfecting of the saints was compared to the development of the body. It has to grow... God loves you enough to get involved in your life, and is willing to stay at your side as you grow.
