Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Galatians 1:15-16, “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me,”
We are all on the same level, so we can all echo the familiar song, “Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me . . . O Lamb of God, I come, I come.”
This is exactly how we should relate to the Lord–always coming to Him just as we are.
If you are thinking that you have to repair yourself or that you have to reach a point where you are stronger in yourself to be accepted by God, then you have it all wrong.
There is nothing in ourselves that can stand before God (Rom. 7:18).
In fact, if we would seek to clean ourselves up on our own and come to Him with some merit in ourselves, His analysis would be that all our righteousnesses are nothing but filthy rags (Isa. 64:6).
God only accepts one Person–His only begotten Son.
When Christ is revealed in me (Gal. 1:16), I have a new relationship with everything.
I no longer come from the source of my self.
I am no longer trying to be the savior of my life.
Christ Himself is my Savior.
I no longer interact with matters and things apart from Him, as though I was on my own.
As a man in Christ, I am in the realm of the new creation, where “all things are out of God”(2 Cor. 5:17-18).
The new creation means that Christ is the center and spring of my life.
Because of this, I now have a new relationship with all things.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
