Perfected, but Not Yet Holy | Overcoming Me Wk 2 | Tony Fernandez

Explore the tension between our struggle with sin and God’s call to perfection. Romans 8 reminds us that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, not because of our own righteousness, but because of His sacrifice. We’re introduced to the concept of the ‘law’ as a metaphor for power and authority in our lives. Just as sin once ruled us, now the Holy Spirit can take residence and gradually transform us from within. This process is likened to leaven working through dough, slowly but surely changing us into Christ’s image. We’re encouraged to frame our struggles not merely as dos and don’ts, but as opportunities for the Spirit’s fruit to grow in our lives. This perspective shift can profoundly impact how we approach overcoming sin and growing in holiness.
