Goals

 

The goal of people without Christ:

Success – achievement by self effort

Silver and gold  - riches beyond necessity

Supremacy – power over others

Satisfaction  - personal pleasure

 

The goal of believers in Jesus Christ as Lord:

Surrender – choosing to yield to God’s will

Service – helping others in focus

Sympathy – stooping down to lift others in need

Sacrifice – personal abdication for the glory of God

Sovereignty – all things for the honour of Jesus Christ

 

For those claiming to follow Jesus Christ, the first list is the flesh in control. The second is when the Holy Spirit is in control.
