✨ Spiritual Integrated View (Key Points)

2.      The main hindrance is man’s concepts, disposition, and ability.

3.      The cross does not improve the self; it removes the self.

4.      Obeying the inner sense of Christ is the way of life.

📣 One Prophetic Summary Sentence

Lord, through the cross break my self so that You may have a way out in me and live through me.

🏁 Ultimate Conclusion

Lord, make what I do be for You,
and what I speak lead to You,
