Simon Pranaitis examines four powerful incentives for believers to persist in their spiritual growth: Christ's redemption of our right to rule, His suffering for our holiness, His victory over Satan, and His role as our High Priest. Understanding how Christ empowers sanctification gives Christians the motivation and means to pursue spiritual transformation despite life's challenges.\n\nWhere do you find the motivation to fight sin and pursue holiness?\nDo you contemplate the future reality of the kingdom and how the saints will rule with Christ?\nDoes your pursuit of holiness reflect a desire to see the Son of Man coming in glory?\nDo you embrace suffering and allow it to complete God’s work in your sanctification?\nDo you contemplate your spiritual and physical unity with Christ often enough?\nWhat sins are you battling? Are you waging war with inferior tactics?\nDo you overestimate the power of Satan? If so, how?\nDo you meditate on the victory of Christ as you pray for victory over sin?\nAs you return home today and work this week, what areas of weakness are the most in need of the power of the Spirit?\nHow are you filling your mind and heart with Christ as you battle sin?\nWill you commit to praying fervently for God the Father to fill you with His Spirit and aid you in your sanctification?","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rrsP6cLM03jQqk9kx0xND0tl319k7FwqWlkqnqe7nK8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM1MDUyLzE2NjQ5/NDM3MzUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
