14 Trophy Insights
Think --> Feel --> Act
What you actually trust determines what will feel right to you, which in turn will strongly influence what you do. So, if you find yourself not doing what you think God wants, then perhaps that means you really don’t trust God to have your best interests at heart in that matter. (Prov 23:7)
When you suspect this is happening, would it be helpful to stop and have a conversation with God about this?
What makes me good?
Goodness is inherited from the character ofthe good God who created good things to reflect His good character. As a Christian, you are good because Jesus is good and God has placed you
in Christ; people ARE NOT good because of the good things they do. (Gen 1: 4, 10, 12, 18, 21,25; Matt 19:16-17, Gal 2:20)
What’s wrong with thinking that you are being good when you do good things?
Value of Christian Fellowship
Did you notice how much help and encouragement came from your climbing- team-members
as they shared their Scripturally based insights with you? That is an important part of what real Christian fellowship looks like. (Roman15:2; Phil 2:4; 1 Thess 5:11)
Could you see having more conversations to encourage your Christian friends like the ones Maggie, Mark, Jen, and Tyler have had with you?
Righteousness is . . .
Righteousness is being right in God’s sight. Being right with God never comes from doing good
things. If you are righteous in God’s sight, then that means God does not condemn you for things you do or fail to do. (Rom 8:1; Matt 13:49; Matt 25:37-46; Luke 18:9-14)
Why do you think we sinful humans have such a strong tendency to assume God’s view of us is dependent on our behaviors?
