The world seems to have gone off the deep end and none of
our political candidates offer any real hope.
The economy is unpredictable at best.
Are we a land of opportunity or a country that constructs walls? Here’s the real kicker—we have it better here
than in most of the world and we think we think things are terrible.
Do you ever wonder if God sometimes just shakes his head,
says whatever and is ready to walk
away and leave us to our certain, self-inflicted demise?
Who could blame him?
But he doesn’t. He is
the one constant in a universe of variables.
He is love and his love is still there for us.
He invites us to come to him through Christ Jesus and be holy
and blameless before him, not because of something that we must do, but
because of his great love for us. God
did everything needed to make us holy and blameless, totally forgiven, and full
of purpose and abundance. He did this in
the blood of Christ Jesus.
He invites us to accept this gift and in response to live
for him.
Imagine what it would be like to live totally for God’s
purpose and have not a single sin held against us. For those who have professed Jesus as Lord
and know in their hearts that Jesus really did live, die for us, and that God
raised him from the dead; that is how we live today.
In Christ, we are holy and blameless before God. Wow!
In Christ, we are totally forgiven of our sin. We have insight into a time to come when
everything will be reconciled to Christ.
In Christ we have received the deposit of the Holy Spirit
and we are assured of all of God’s promises.
In Christ, we can’t really do anything else but live for the
glory of God.
Now that’s cool beans!
In the middle of a world run amuck, we are invited to be
holy and blameless before the Lord and God does everything to make this happen. He does it all
in Christ.
Are you ready to accept this incredible gift?
Are you ready?
