The Focus of the Saints #2

Lyall Johnston—August 30, 2025

Transcript

In this powerful message, Mr. Lyall Johnston explores the central focus that defines the life of a Christian saint. Drawing from the book of Hebrews, he highlights the stark difference between the Old Covenant and the New, emphasizing that through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, believers today have direct access to the very altar of God in the spiritual Holy of Holies. Lyall explains that the Old Covenant rituals, though they were a picture of what was to come, could not provide the full understanding and sanctification that is now available through Jesus.

Mr. Johnston challenges listeners to embrace a different way of life, one that involves coming out of the ways of the world and bearing the reproach that comes with following Christ. He delves into the importance of seeking God's kingdom, loving one another, and progressing toward the perfection that was in Christ. Lyall reminds the audience that this journey is a daily process of reading the Word and developing a personal relationship with the Father and the Son. He also addresses the vital role of discipline and chastening from God, explaining that it is a sign of being a true son and not an illegitimate child. Ultimately, Lyall Johnston passionately encourages a life focused on Jesus, running the race with endurance, and meditating on the One who paid the ultimate price for our sins. The message is a call to be a living sacrifice, offering praise and doing good, as we seek the eternal city that is to come.
