God does not love me any less than the richest/smartest/ man or prettiest woman. It's not who we are or how good we are… it's Whose we are. We can't be good enough or perform enough good works to get God's approval. It's not about crossing our T's or dotting our I's. Laws are good for us… they keep us out of jail, they keep us safe, they help to keep peace, they can keep things under control and a slew of other things but laws cannot save us from spending an eternity in hell. Only what God did in His perfect grace can do that….<br /><br />If God can take Saul, a man who found a thrill in killing Christians, save him, turn his life around, use him to write letters like Galatians, change his name to Paul… he can change us too…Praise the Lord for Paul!!!<br /><br />There isn't much of chapters 5 & 6 that aren't underlined now.. I LOVED this…<br />6:14-16 As for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross my interest in this world died long ago and the world's interest in me is also long dead. It doesn't make any difference now whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we really have been changed into new and different people" NLT<br /><br />Wow… how do I measure my interest in the world? How about the world's interest in me? I don't think I'm where I should be…(I KNOW I'm not)<br /><br />I'm done rambling…...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
