Yet the bible also says God is "trustworthy". And He is. And I trust him completely. Yet I don't limit him. I know fellow believers who believe, and it is commonly taught in churches today that "God cannot do anything against his nature. Therefore God CAN'T sin, can't lie, can't you .... do things that aren't perfect".
See I don't believe that. I think the bible teaches that God spoke the universe into existence. He decided what was good and bad. He set up every rule and everything that is. I think God can do anything he please. I think he doesn't sin, or do those bad things because he chooses not to. I believe that he won't, not that he can't.
I believe that Jesus was fully God, and fully man. I think he had every opportunity to sin, and was tempted in ways that none of us have been tempted. And he didn't sin because he chose not to.
I'm trusting God. I'm believing in his promise. My hope is in his salvation. But you know, he doesn't owe me anything. It's his uinverse. I'm just blessed that he wants me.
Romans 8:15,16 says, For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
I have been a Christian for 27 years . On the day of my salvation. I asked over and over "why me Lord , why me ?" . I had to give a testimony at church today , I told them that I was not going to give a salvation testimony , because it still brings me to tears .There is no reason for the love and grace He has given me , I am the most worthless of his creation...yet He calls me His...
With tears I still say Thank you to my God!
