What happens after baptism? Many believers struggle with this question, focusing on the ritual's words or methods while missing Christ's complete command: "teaching them to observe all things which I have commanded you."

This message dives deep into how God is glorified through our lives when we allow Him to work in us "what is well-pleasing in His sight." Drawing from powerful passages in Hebrews 13, Romans 6, and Romans 8, we explore the profound truth that obedience flows not from our striving but from God's grace working through us.

The path to true obedience has never been through law-keeping. The law reveals God's holy standards but cannot empower us to meet them—"the law made nothing perfect." Grace, however, provides both forgiveness of sins and daily strength for victory over sin's influence. This dual action of grace enables us to fulfill "the righteous requirement of the law" as we "walk according to the Spirit, not according to the flesh."

The transformative truth revealed here changes everything: human goodness doesn't originate within us but comes from God through His Spirit. When we face each day relying on our flesh, we access only limited human resources. But when we live in dependence on the Spirit, we draw upon unlimited divine resources that produce genuine, God-glorifying obedience.

Join us in renouncing self-reliance and embracing Spirit-dependence, allowing God to receive the glory He alone deserves as He works His will through our surrendered lives. This message will transform how you understand grace, obedience, and God's work in your daily walk.
