SIGNS OF RADICAL GOSPEL TRANSFORMATION - Dr. Sam Thomas

Salvation is not the passport to heaven. It follows full conviction, setting on a path to transformation into Christ likeness. Radical gospel transformation is key to effective Christian living and service. Apostle Paul is showing through the life of the believers in Thessalonica, how God’s sovereign work is involved in their transformation through seven key principles. Choice, call, conviction, commission in service, conformity, compelled by love to witness, consistent life in Christ. This defines normal Christian life. Every believer needs to introspect this great salvation and be progressively imitating Christ as a true disciple and be an example to others. 00:00 - Introduction: True Salvation Follows Full Conviction 02:04 - Background: The Church at Thessalonica 04:27 - The Triad of Faith, Hope, and Love 08:10 - Intro to the 7 Marks of Sovereign Salvation 08:41 - 1.
