The more you become like Christ, the more aware you become of the ways in which you still need to improve. The more you are becoming like Christ in progressive righteousness, in sanctification, the worse you feel. But as you become more like God, you are also becoming painfully aware of all the ways that you are not like Christ. What sin are you trying to mortify? What sin do you are trying to put to death? What idols do you seek to snuff out? What areas of the flesh are you mortifying?

00:01:02 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:01:07 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. And here's the irony. The person who is lacking self-awareness,
00:01:17 who doesn't, they don't have their fingers on the pulse of the sin, which still remains within the
00:01:23 members of their being, of the idolatry that still lurks in the recesses of their heart.
00:01:29 The person who does not possess a healthy self-awareness,
00:01:35 that person feels like they're really sanctified, but ironically, they're not.
00:01:41 The irony is this, the more you're becoming like Christ in progressive righteousness,
00:01:47 in sanctification, sometimes the worse you feel.
00:01:51 but don't let that discourage you as you are becoming objectively not less like christ more
00:01:59 like christ but as you're becoming more like christ you're also becoming painfully aware
00:02:05 of all the ways that you're not like christ that's a mark of maturity a mark of maturity
00:02:11 is getting better and becoming more aware of the ways in which you still need to improve
00:02:17 a person who if you ask them you know what are your weaknesses what are some areas that you need
00:02:22 to improve what what are some of the things that the holy spirit is convicting you about
00:02:25 when you read the word what are some of the the the idols in your heart that get
00:02:30 highlighted and emphasized and the person has nothing to say that i never thought about that
00:02:35 like whoa like they should be terrified and i talk to christians like this this happens
00:02:45 somewhat frequently.
00:02:47 It's like, what sin are you striving
00:02:51 by the grace of God
00:02:52 and the strength that the Holy Spirit provides
00:02:54 to mortify, that is, to put to death?
00:02:58 What portions of your flesh 0.94
00:03:01 are you trying to put to death,
00:03:03 mortifying sin?
00:03:06 What sin are you grieved over
00:03:08 and burdened by?
00:03:11 In what ways are you growing,
00:03:14 Not lowering, but growing in aversion.
00:03:16 That is, godly hatred towards your sin.
00:03:22 Can you name any of those for me?
00:03:26 And the person's like, I never even thought about that.
00:03:30 Like, what are some of your biggest idols?
00:03:32 The things that you are most inclined, most likely, to trust and treasure.
00:03:40 Trust and treasure.
00:03:41 That is, hope in and love more than Christ.
00:03:48 Never thought about that.
00:03:51 But not just what areas of the flesh are you mortifying.
00:03:55 Here's another question.
00:03:57 John Owen.
00:03:58 In what way are you seeking to put to death even provisions for the flesh?
00:04:05 In what way are you, not just here's sin in my life and I'm trying to mortify it. 0.94
00:04:09 I'm trying to put it to death. 0.99
00:04:11 Idols in my life, flesh that is standing in a hostile position toward God. 0.99
00:04:16 But in what way are you seeking to snuff out every single provision for the flesh?
00:04:24 Most people can't answer that question.
00:04:27 And I'm not saying they're not Christians.
00:04:29 I'm just saying that is a sign of a lack of sanctification.
00:04:35 Whereas, and here's the irony, whereas the person who can answer those questions,
00:04:39 It's like, I'm super grieved about this sin in my life.
00:04:42 I'm very aware about these seven idols in my life.
00:04:46 I'm not.
00:04:48 I have been leaving provisions for the flesh
00:04:51 in this way and that way.
00:04:53 That person, when I'm talking to that person,
00:04:56 you know what I'm aware of?
00:04:57 I'm aware that I'm talking to a sanctified individual.
00:05:01 So the person who's more in touch with their sin
00:05:03 likely looks more like Jesus than the person who's not.
00:05:09 I think that's what Paul's talking about.
00:05:11 And again, I'm not saying that's exclusively what he's talking about.
00:05:13 Of course he's talking about his past life.
00:05:16 Of course he's talking about blaspheming, persecuting.
00:05:20 He's talking about all the things he did before the Lord Jesus Christ saved him
00:05:23 and called him to the office of an apostle.
00:05:26 But I think he's also saying that as I keep getting closer and closer to Jesus,
00:05:30 I keep being made more and more aware of all the ways I'm not like Jesus.
00:05:34 You don't get caught up into the third heaven and then leave that experience without any knowledge of sin.
00:05:43 Let me say that again.
00:05:45 You don't get caught up into third heaven and leave that experience without growing in your knowledge of sin.
00:05:52 Isaiah is caught up.
00:05:55 Woe am I. 1.00
00:05:56 A man of unclean lips who lives among a people of unclean lips. 0.96
00:06:00 Peter has an experience with the Lord Jesus Christ. 0.97
00:06:03 He sees him performing the miracle of catching all the fish.
00:06:06 Let your nets down on the other side of the boat.
00:06:08 His immediate response to Christ after he sees that miracle
00:06:13 and starts to begin to recognize who Jesus is, his deity,
00:06:16 that he is the son of God.
00:06:18 Peter says, depart from me, Lord.
00:06:21 Well, I'm a sinner.
00:06:23 Right, that's the reaction.
00:06:25 You see the holiness of God, you see your sinfulness.
00:06:28 And as we're sanctified, that grows.
00:06:31 It doesn't decrease.
00:06:32 But you shouldn't be growing in discouragement.
00:06:34 You're growing in self-awareness of the areas in which you need to improve by God's grace.
00:06:39 But you're growing in encouragement and comfort and confidence in the Son of God
00:06:44 who loved you and gave himself up for you at the very same time.
00:06:47 So you're not growing in an awareness of sin and in condemnation.
00:06:52 There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
00:06:54 You are growing in an understanding of the sin which still remains
00:06:59 and in confidence in the gospel
00:07:01 and the grace of God that covers that sin.
00:07:05 And so you have nothing to fear.
00:07:07 And these two things as they're held in balance,
00:07:09 long gospel, long gospel, long gospel,
00:07:13 sin and grace,
00:07:16 sanctification with justification.
00:07:18 As these things are held in balance with one another,
00:07:22 we grow and we grow and we grow and we grow.
00:07:27 Thanks so much for listening.
00:07:28 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:07:31 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:07:34 if you enjoyed the show.
00:07:35 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:07:39 get this biblically faithful content
00:07:41 to as many people as possible.
00:07:43 Thanks so much.
