The Gospel offers incredible power for everyday life, not just eternal salvation. However, many believers struggle to experience this transformation because they haven't learned to apply Gospel truth to their daily thoughts, emotions, and circumstances. A key indicator of our spiritual health is what we naturally discuss, as we engage with topics that capture our hearts. If we're not regularly discussing Jesus and His work in our lives, it may reveal that our affections have grown stronger for lesser things. Rather than bringing guilt, this realization should invite us to pursue Jesus again, much like rekindling affection in marriage.
We can reignite our love for Christ by reading through the Gospels, engaging in spiritual disciplines, and recalling our initial experience of love with Him. The daily battle for our minds requires us to capture and examine our thoughts in accordance with Scripture, rather than accepting every thought as truth.
Practical transformation happens when we trace the fruit in our lives back to the roots of our beliefs. Negative emotions and sinful patterns often stem from wrong beliefs about God's character. By asking four gospel-forming questions and working through a root-to-fruit exercise, we can identify lies we're believing and replace them with biblical truth. This process requires intentional effort, Scripture memorization, and community support, but it leads to genuine daily transformation as we learn to preach the Gospel to ourselves.
