What Have I Become
What Have I Become
We are all becoming someone. The question is: What are you becoming?
In this kickoff message to our new series Becoming, Pastor Mike challenges us to look at our lives and ask: Am I growing into the person God created me to be, or am I stuck at a wall? Through Scripture, we see that God has already given us everything we need to grow, mature, and live a godly life—not by our own strength, but through His power.
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
From this passage, Pastor Mike outlined the path of becoming:
Moral Excellence – Living according to God’s truth, not our own.
Knowledge – Growing in understanding of God through Scripture, teaching, and community.
Self-Control – Building boundaries and resisting temptation.
Patient Endurance – Trusting God and staying faithful, even when results take time.
Godliness – Reflecting God’s character in every part of life.
Love – Extending unconditional love, even to those who oppose us.
This is not about earning God’s love—Jesus has already met the standard for us. Instead, it’s about living empowered by His Spirit to become people who are useful and productive in His kingdom.
