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?

00:00:06.140 but also a promise. The price of our conference, the post-millennial and theonomy conference,
00:00:11.160 it's going up. It's going up right after Reformation Day. We are going to hold the
00:00:16.060 price at $100, which is super cheap for a three-day conference with Dr. James White, Dr. Joseph Boot,

00:00:27.020 conference, May 5th, 6th, and 7th in Georgetown, Texas, just north of Austin for a hundred bucks,

00:00:38.760 you got to get in now, right after Reformation Day, not Halloween, Reformation Day, October 31st.

00:00:49.340 bucks. After that, starting November 1st, it's going to be 130. So go to rightresponseconference.com,

00:01:02.320 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:01:07.460 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. And here's the irony. The person who is lacking self-awareness,
00:01:17.940 who doesn't, they don't have their fingers on the pulse of the sin, which still remains within the
00:01:23.320 members of their being, of the idolatry that still lurks in the recesses of their heart.
00:01:29.820 The person who does not possess a healthy self-awareness,
00:01:35.420 that person feels like they're really sanctified, but ironically, they're not.
00:01:41.880 The irony is this, the more you're becoming like Christ in progressive righteousness,
00:01:47.640 in sanctification, sometimes the worse you feel.
00:01:51.160 but don't let that discourage you as you are becoming objectively not less like christ more
00:01:59.380 like christ but as you're becoming more like christ you're also becoming painfully aware
00:02:05.620 of all the ways that you're not like christ that's a mark of maturity a mark of maturity
00:02:11.080 is getting better and becoming more aware of the ways in which you still need to improve
00:02:17.060 a person who if you ask them you know what are your weaknesses what are some areas that you need
00:02:22.580 to improve what what are some of the things that the holy spirit is convicting you about
00:02:25.980 when you read the word what are some of the the the idols in your heart that get
00:02:30.840 highlighted and emphasized and the person has nothing to say that i never thought about that
00:02:35.560 like whoa like they should be terrified and i talk to christians like this this happens
00:02:45.780 somewhat frequently.
00:02:47.160 It's like, what sin are you striving
00:02:51.420 by the grace of God
00:02:52.480 and the strength that the Holy Spirit provides
00:02:54.640 to mortify, that is, to put to death?
00:02:58.280 What portions of your flesh 0.94
00:03:01.580 are you trying to put to death,
00:03:03.880 mortifying sin?
00:03:06.220 What sin are you grieved over
00:03:08.440 and burdened by?
00:03:11.960 In what ways are you growing,
00:03:14.180 Not lowering, but growing in aversion.
00:03:16.880 That is, godly hatred towards your sin.
00:03:22.320 Can you name any of those for me?
00:03:26.380 And the person's like, I never even thought about that.
00:03:30.220 Like, what are some of your biggest idols?
00:03:32.180 The things that you are most inclined, most likely, to trust and treasure.
00:03:40.500 Trust and treasure.
00:03:41.920 That is, hope in and love more than Christ.
00:03:48.840 Never thought about that.
00:03:51.820 But not just what areas of the flesh are you mortifying.
00:03:55.940 Here's another question.
00:03:57.040 John Owen.
00:03:58.840 In what way are you seeking to put to death even provisions for the flesh?
00:04:05.440 In what way are you, not just here's sin in my life and I'm trying to mortify it. 0.94
00:04:09.680 I'm trying to put it to death. 0.99
00:04:11.920 Idols in my life, flesh that is standing in a hostile position toward God. 0.99
00:04:16.860 But in what way are you seeking to snuff out every single provision for the flesh?
00:04:24.040 Most people can't answer that question.
00:04:27.880 And I'm not saying they're not Christians.
00:04:29.160 I'm just saying that is a sign of a lack of sanctification.
00:04:35.220 Whereas, and here's the irony, whereas the person who can answer those questions,
00:04:39.280 It's like, I'm super grieved about this sin in my life.
00:04:42.680 I'm very aware about these seven idols in my life.
00:04:46.880 I'm not.
00:04:48.600 I have been leaving provisions for the flesh
00:04:51.900 in this way and that way.
00:04:53.280 That person, when I'm talking to that person,
00:04:56.160 you know what I'm aware of?
00:04:57.900 I'm aware that I'm talking to a sanctified individual.
00:05:01.580 So the person who's more in touch with their sin
00:05:03.720 likely looks more like Jesus than the person who's not.
00:05:09.780 I think that's what Paul's talking about.
00:05:11.780 And again, I'm not saying that's exclusively what he's talking about.
00:05:13.960 Of course he's talking about his past life.
00:05:16.940 Of course he's talking about blaspheming, persecuting.
00:05:20.480 He's talking about all the things he did before the Lord Jesus Christ saved him
00:05:23.820 and called him to the office of an apostle.
00:05:26.800 But I think he's also saying that as I keep getting closer and closer to Jesus,
00:05:30.940 I keep being made more and more aware of all the ways I'm not like Jesus.
00:05:34.700 You don't get caught up into the third heaven and then leave that experience without any knowledge of sin.
00:05:43.760 Let me say that again.
00:05:45.120 You don't get caught up into third heaven and leave that experience without growing in your knowledge of sin.
00:05:52.900 Isaiah is caught up.
00:05:55.440 Woe am I. 1.00
00:05:56.240 A man of unclean lips who lives among a people of unclean lips. 0.96
00:06:00.440 Peter has an experience with the Lord Jesus Christ. 0.97
00:06:03.320 He sees him performing the miracle of catching all the fish.
00:06:06.760 Let your nets down on the other side of the boat.
00:06:08.660 His immediate response to Christ after he sees that miracle
00:06:13.000 and starts to begin to recognize who Jesus is, his deity,
00:06:16.800 that he is the son of God.
00:06:18.020 Peter says, depart from me, Lord.
00:06:21.320 Well, I'm a sinner.
00:06:23.920 Right, that's the reaction.
00:06:25.420 You see the holiness of God, you see your sinfulness.
00:06:28.740 And as we're sanctified, that grows.
00:06:31.580 It doesn't decrease.
00:06:32.760 But you shouldn't be growing in discouragement.
00:06:34.640 You're growing in self-awareness of the areas in which you need to improve by God's grace.
00:06:39.560 But you're growing in encouragement and comfort and confidence in the Son of God
00:06:44.540 who loved you and gave himself up for you at the very same time.
00:06:47.940 So you're not growing in an awareness of sin and in condemnation.
00:06:52.100 There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
00:06:54.560 You are growing in an understanding of the sin which still remains
00:06:59.120 and in confidence in the gospel
00:07:01.860 and the grace of God that covers that sin.
00:07:05.940 And so you have nothing to fear.
00:07:07.800 And these two things as they're held in balance,
00:07:09.860 long gospel, long gospel, long gospel,
00:07:13.500 sin and grace,
00:07:16.120 sanctification with justification.
00:07:18.740 As these things are held in balance with one another,
00:07:22.780 we grow and we grow and we grow and we grow.
00:07:27.220 Thanks so much for listening.
00:07:28.380 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:07:31.900 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:07:34.260 if you enjoyed the show.
00:07:35.700 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:07:39.140 get this biblically faithful content
00:07:41.100 to as many people as possible.
00:07:43.260 Thanks so much.
