Living to Our Potential in Christ

The key verse in this passage is Ephesians 1:19 where Bill Morris encourages us to understand "what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe." During the lesson, Bill references an article by Dane Ortlund that presents some concepts gleaned from Jonathan Edwards' writings. The main points are listed below but check out the full article (it's brief!).

Here are five things Edwards teaches us about the Christian life—your Christian life.

1. If you’re a Christian, you don’t realize how radically different and freshly empowered you now are.

2. Even if you’re a Christian, you don’t realize how radically fallen and blindly dysfunctional you remain.

3. Authentic discipleship to Jesus Christ calms and gentle-izes (not radicalizes and excites) Christians.

4. Christianity is gain, and only gain.

5. Revival is not what you think it is.
