Jesus’ death on the cross covers all the sin that causes me to be spiritually dead.
The Gospel of Jesus is the only Gospel.
My belief in Jesus will bring transformation.

Jesus is relational with us and therefore shapes and shifts how we relate to others. Imagine the impact of your relationships, conversations, prayers, parenting, and work focused on living as Jesus lived. Your presence would be life-giving (carry you off the field at end of the game). Imagine a church committed to fully living Jesus in all our relationships–this gathering would be irresistible!
Your life and actions can lead and strive for a lot of different options. Paul encourages us to focus on the heavenly over the earthly, to recognize that as Jesus transforms us the response of our life changes. Paul lists fruit and expressions of our unbelief or belief through the form of lists. They are not exhaustive but directional. In versus 15-17 he presents a benediction and encouragement to bring this section to fullness through the understanding of peace.
