True Christian leaders are also true disciples of Jesus. The test of Christian discipleship is living in the Word that is Jesus. Living in His reality frees us from sin.
When sin becomes a way of life, it seems like the only way to live. The desires and impulses of the flesh enslave us, no matter who our ancestors are.
Jesus offers the Way of Life that is freedom.
So contrary is our perception of reality to Jesus’ reality that our flesh rebels against it.
Jesus offers us a spiritual ancestry marked by obedience to Him.
