Born 2 Die

This powerful sermon examines the paradox of Christ's incarnation—that God became flesh specifically to die for humanity's sins. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus didn't just come to save us from hell, but to teach us how to live holy lives by crucifying our flesh. The central message revolves around the truth that while salvation is free, holiness and kingdom fruitfulness require the death of our fleshly nature. The sermon challenges believers to move beyond merely being "saved" to actively pursuing holiness and separation from worldly pleasures. Through Christ's example in Gethsemane and Paul's honest confession about struggling with sin, the preacher illustrates that spiritual growth demands intentional sacrifice and the daily crucifixion of our flesh. The ultimate goal is not just avoiding hell, but bearing fruit for God's kingdom and becoming more like Christ, who is "exceedingly abundantly" above all we could ask or imagine.
