Encounter Recovery Ministries dives into the heart of spiritual transformation with 'God's Holy People in Jesus'. Rick Peterson explores the timeless purpose of God to create a people who reflect His holiness and shine brightly in a world that often seems dim. Through engaging stories and scripture references, Peterson illustrates how this divine intention was made known to Israel and fulfilled through Jesus Christ.
He highlights how followers of Christ are now called to embody this holiness, living by the Spirit's power and becoming a new humanity that stands out in a fallen world. Peterson takes listeners on a journey through biblical passages, from Exodus to 1 Peter, revealing God's unwavering plan for His people to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
The episode discusses how ancient Israel struggled to fulfill this calling due to their sinful nature, but through Jesus, the ultimate fulfilment has been achieved. This new standard of holiness transcends cultural norms, urging believers to live self-controlled, upright lives that testify to God's grace. The episode paints a vivid picture of Apostle Paul's mission on the morally challenging island of Crete, where he established churches that became beacons of God's transformative power.
Peterson encourages you to embrace this calling, recognising the full scope of the Gospel – not just redemption from sin, but also purification to live as God's treasured possession. For anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their spiritual journey or grappling with living out their faith amidst societal pressures, this episode offers hope and clarity. It’s a reminder that you are part of a new creation, empowered to live out God's eternal purpose with joy and conviction.
