I have learn from a loving God that he knows the place where are now residing it is impossble to perfect but that does not mean we should not strive to do our best.
The Father sent His only begotten Son to pay the ransom so we could return.
When our heart is humble and we repent because we know that God loves us and His Son paid for our debt which enables us to be baptize to wash off the sins and taking sacarmend we renew our covenants to refresh our minds to help us to stay focus on our Savior gift.
The the Lord send the comforter who will when we strive to do His will to strenghten us in our walk.
We will make mistakes or get distracted but in our quite moments the Lord will try to get our attention so we can get back on track.
The voice of the oposition will whisper on our mind that we are not worthy but that is a lie
it is late must get sleep!
>>> The voice of the oposition will whisper on our mind that we are not worthy but that is a lie
If we believe that our salvation status is vulnerable, how are we protected from that lie?
How are WE worthy??? we are not.
It is Christ’s worthiness that saves us... not our own.
It is important for us to understand WHY we should resist sin... and even more important for us to understand that we cannot ever hope to achieve worthiness in God’s sight.
If God came back today, I would have to say that I am not ready... I would be embarrassed... ashamed... Way too much sin in my life for me to face Him right now with any level of confidence or hope that He would say “Well done...”. But I do not question my status or entry in the book of Life, because I know my heart has received Him... and while my share in heaven may be very very small... being with Him is not in question.
Now.. with that said, on the occasions that I do get to share the salvation message with others, I hope that it is this confidence or faith in salvation itself which someone else sees... because I know that it is the fear of the unknown, or what happens after death which is man’s greatest fear of all. The very fear that Christ alone can free them of.... So WHY do we then now wish to carry that fear again in ourselves?
Are we foolish enough to think that those we speak with will not see it?
Again... look at it from God’s perspective...
Do you think God want’s us to portray our changed lives as reason to place faith in Jesus?
Or, do you think God want’s us to identify with those who are lost as people who are just as unworthy as they are, but with faith and confidence in the gift of salvation?
Does the latter sound like a condonement of sin??? let’s hope not... because again... sin in our lives results in separation from God’s fellowship. The more we sin, the farther God seems from us... and this too is something that our audience will detect without a word spoken.
Apart from Him we can do NOTHING!
