Challenging your perception of the Almighty
posted by G Cracka X at 2:32 PM
I was born a sinner (Romans 5:12, 1 Corinthians 15:22), blaspheming God by seeking my own glory (Romans 3:11-19, 23). However, the Holy Spirit has drawn me to saving faith in Jesus Christ (John 6:63, 1 Corinthians 12:3). He empowers me to trust that Christ's atoning sacrfice has fully satisfied God's demand for justice regarding my sin (Romans 3:24-25, Hebrews 2:17, 1 John 2:2, 4:10). God predestined me (Romans 8:29-30, Ephesians 1:4-5, 11) to receive His free gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:23), not based on ANY good in me (Psalm 14:1-3, Psalm 53:1-3, Romans 3:11-12, 7:18) but solely by His grace (Acts 15:11, Romans 3:24, Ephesians 2:5, 8) and for His glory (Isaiah 43:7). God's grace has led me to repentance from dead works, and will sustain my saving faith (John 10:28) throughout my life on Earth, the intermediate state, and on new Earth (Revelation 21:1). Though I struggle daily against the powerful, enticing, fleshly lusts which wage war against my soul (1 Peter 2:11), yet God's showering grace sanctifies me so that I might love, cherish, desire and treasure Him and lead others to enjoy Him. Hallelujah!
