The Purpose Driven Life: Patience - May 13, 2015







Ecclesiastes 3:1     There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

Philippians 1:6     being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Being a disciple is all about the process of conforming to Christ. Becoming Christ-like is the ultimate goal. Discipleship is a process with no shortcuts.

Ephesians 4:13     until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Colossians 3:10     and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

We could be instantly transformed by God but He chooses to develop us slowly….we must be patient in the process because it is all part of God’s plan.

Ephesians 4:21-23     …if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,…


Colossians 3:8-10     But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him
