I had all the right teaching and opportunities but failed to catch on to who I was in Christ. I spent all my time dealing with sin and striving rather than understanding my Savior's victory was mine. I finally gave up trying because I kept failing.
I decided that "others could do it, but I couldn't so I would just wait till I died to be a good Christian". I had my focus on sin and my failure. Not on Jesus' success. Thankfully God is faithful and after years of what was really rebellion I understood the message of love and grace and God opened my mind to TRUTH. I found out the Christian life wasn't performance based but grace based. Jesus lived and He succeeded so I didn't have to. Heaven or hell depends on what I do with Jesus, not my behavior. (John 3:18)
I learned to truly LOVE HIM and appreciate my new life in Christ and the attitudes and behaviors changed!vizualizați mai puține
