Part 5: Characteristics of the Church

The Presence of the Holy Spirit The Church Should be Characterized by… The Presence of the Holy Spirit A

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. Romans 8:14 (NLT)

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves… Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:16, 25 (NLT)

“Being disciples of Christ isn’t just a matter of what we do; it’s a matter of who we are. And the key to that is going to be the fullness of the Holy Spirit in each of our lives.” ~ William Lane Craig

The Church Should be Characterized by… Abundant Living B

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10 (NIV)

An Eternal Perspective The Church Should be Characterized by… An Eternal Perspective C

…We brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. 1 Timothy 6:7-8 (NLT)

“There won’t be a U-Haul following your hearse.” ~ Billy Graham

Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. Colossians 3:2 (NLT)

“Don't store up treasures on earth “Don't store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them. Instead, store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them.” Matthew 6:19-20 (NLT)

A Movement Toward Christlikeness The Church Should be Characterized by… A Movement Toward Christlikeness D

For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son… Romans 8:29 (NLT)

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life… Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:21-24 (NLT)

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NIV)

“[Holiness] is the heart of the Christian life and every Christian’s destiny… We are to become holy as Christ is holy; we are to become true Christians, the root meaning of which is ‘little Christs’.” ~ Charles Colson
