So many times we find ourselves feeling Unworthy of Christ. We may even find ourselves trying to "earn" our worth because we know we are so unworthy. We know we are sinners and that we aren't good enough. We know we mess up daily and that no matter how hard we "try to be good" we STILL fail. We have these horrible thoughts, we do these horrible things and then we have trouble forgiving ourselves. At times we feel hopeless and feel like we are trapped with no way out. We only have a vision of a "Dead End" Road sign. Before we ever knew Christ we lived with no guilt. We had the seed of Satan and we felt justified by our actions and works because we were our own God. We didn't have anyone to answer to because we went to ourselves. When someone did us wrong we were the judge on what they deserved. When we had a horrible thought or feeling, we justified that it was ok because of what happened to us. These are things we felt and experienced BEFORE we knew Christ. This is what happens as soon as we Accept Christ for the very first time..........
We realize that we are unworthy of HIS GRACE but it was His grace that saved us through faith and that this was a gift from God! We fall in love with Jesus Christ, we find ourselves on the floor at his feet soaked in tears because of HIS grace and mercy. We are so humbled by this gift so we ask for forgiveness and ask for a new way of living and thinking. Jesus is so loving and gives us himself, fully!!!! Jesus holds NOTHING back from us. He loves us so much that we are now HIDDEN IN CHRIST JESUS. There is nothing more intimate than this. We are HIDDEN in OUR Sinless Savior!!! We want to have new thinking and new living because we are so thankful for him dying for us. So we pick up his word and read the instructions of how we can truly honor God. God makes the guidelines clear to understand and shows us how we are to live. We are to keep God first and give love at ALL times!!! We need to daily repent and daily seek him!! We need to pray to the Holy Spirit to speak to us and guide us onto the Narrow Path. We need to be different from the world! The world rejected Jesus, so now since we are hidden IN Jesus, the world will now reject us. There are Christians today that are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus. To me this shows that they take Gods Word seriously! We need to take it to that level of belief. We start walking with Jesus and now find that......................
