Review|
· breakthrough - "an act of breaking through an obstacle or restriction;
a military offensive that penetrates an enemy's lines of defense; a
major achievement or success that permits further progress"
I. We Were Saved To:
1. be supernaturally/radically changed by God! 2 Corinthians 5:17-18
2. make confident progress because of God! Philippians 1:6
3. be mightily used of God! Matthew 5:13-15
4. bring glory to God! Matthew 5:16
II. If This Is Not Happening In Our Lives, What Is Missing?
1. God's purpose for our salvation will only be experienced if we learn
to think humility, because, "God opposes the proud, but gives
grace to the humble." Proverbs 3:34; James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5
