About this episode
God isn’t just interested in our survival, He desires our joy and progress in the faith (Philippians 1:25).This series is a call to build a legacy that reflects Christ, not one measured by possessions or status, but by purpose, impact, and obedience to God.He introduced us to The CCI Promise — the culture and conviction that every member of CCI must embody to live a life that outlives them:? P — Purpose:Every member of CCI must wake up daily with a sense of divine purpose. You are not an accident; you were created to know Christ and make Him known.? R — Rooted:You can’t claim to love God and not love His Word. A rooted believer is grounded in sound doctrine, not easily swayed by emotions or trends.? O — Oneness:Church is more than a gathering; it’s a family. Jesus prayed in John 17:21 that we may be one. So, church hasn’t truly ended until you’ve built genuine relationships in community.? M — Mission:We’re called to be bold and unashamed about the Gospel — to reach the lost and represent Jesus in every sphere. We’re not just saved from something; we’re saved FOR something.? I — Impact:Our faith must translate into social impact. The light we carry should make the world brighter, fairer, and kinder.? S — Surpassing Joy:Joy is our lifestyle! Jesus is our treasure, more precious than anything the world can offer.? E — Excellence:We give our best to whatever we do, because our God deserves nothing less. Excellence is how we express worship.The CCI Promise is our culture and not just a checklist.It’s who we are, a people on a mission to know Christ deeply, stay rooted in truth, walk in love, and represent Him with joy and excellence.Apostle went on to remind us that righteousness is not just a gift we receive but a life we live out.Romans 4:3 tells us that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. Yet that same Abraham proved his faith through his actions (James 2:21).? “You were not saved by works, but you were saved to work.”When God makes you right with Himself, He expects you to start acting like Him — showing justice, mercy, and compassion.? Proverbs 21:3 says, “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.”So, righteousness and social justice go hand in hand.Job 29:12-17 paints a picture of this — defending the helpless, speaking up for the voiceless, and extending mercy to those who have none.? True legacy is beyond how much you accumulate. It’s how much of Christ’s heart is reflected in how you treat people.?It’s seen in how you steward influence, handle resources, and walk in mercy.Because, as Apostle said, “Mercy makes the difference in the life of a believer.” (Romans 9:16, Matthew 5:7)Live intentionally.Live with purpose.Live as one who carries the life of God, and let your legacy speak of Jesus. ??
