Episode notes
Created To Glorify God
- God's ultimate purpose for mankind is that we glorify Him by reflecting His character.
- Charles Stanley emphasizes we are shaped into Christ's likeness to accomplish that reflection.
Chosen Before The World Began
- You were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, so your life is not merely your own.
- Stanley argues that claiming 'it's my life' contradicts God's rights and purpose for you.
Independence Is The Root Problem
- The fundamental problem is human independence: choosing to live apart from God's will.
- Stanley links every deliberate disobedience to exercising independence from God rather than glorifying Him.
