AMEN!!!!
Very excellent observation.
thanks, the study this morning opened my eyes some- and it went along with what you posted about our advocate in Christ-
The claim that “We are at peace with God” just really struck me this am- I tend to ‘feel unworthy’, and i am, on my own, but through Christ- I’m not unworthy- I tend to feel as though i have to ‘earn answers to prayer’ and when they don’t get answered, I blame myself for ‘not being spiritual enough’ even though i know i can’t be through any effort of my own- I never really felt ‘worthy enough’ to be standing in His presence, blameless, asking what i will to be answered- I also didn’t realize what a sin it was to feel that way- I was gonna read through the commentary on the whoel chapter, but had to stop at v 2 because the concept of being blameless was overwhelming to me even though subconsciously i knew about it- i however still fell back into the law when praying- without realizing it-
It’s pretty awesome that we are reconciled to God and stand blameless through Jesus in his presence- I tended to beat myself up because I’m ‘not more sanctified’- and that affected my praying-
