The Triangle Of What Controls YouSample

At the base is our identity.

One level up is our mindset.

And one level above that, at the very top of the triangle, is the marker we spoke about yesterday.

The most telling evidence of whether or not we are being transformed by the truths of Christ’s salvation and God’s Word: our habits.

Our actions are the overflow of our beliefs, which are the fruit of our identity. The reason our actions or habits are so hard to change is because so many people begin the process at the wrong starting point.

They see the habit they want to change and think all they have to do is act differently. But if that were the case, everyone would be acting exactly how they should every single day (which is clearly not the case).

That’s because in order to “put to death… [our] earthly nature” and the bad habits that come with it, we must do the deep work first.

Only then can we make the profound changes we know we need to make so that we can live the indestructible life God has called us to. 

And that life is possible my friend. In fact, once you get the fourth and final piece of the triangle in place—you’ll see exactly how to transform the impossible into the inevitable.
