He has given us a choice also, His Son Jesus, we need to learn and live as He did loving the Father. When we choose life we prove it by the way we live, striving to be like Christ and working hard to continually resemble Him. You can’t do this without devoting yourself to Him by learning and growing and filling your heart with the Holy Spirit.
In Luke 7:35 Jesus says, “But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it.”
Have you truly accepted Jesus and are you living a life that pleases God? Or do you believe in Jesus and feel no change is needed?
Look at Luke 7 verses 47-48 it is about the lady that came in and washed Jesus’ feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair and then put perfume on them. “I tell you, her sins-and they are many- have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows little love. Then Jesus said to the women, ‘Your sins are forgiven.”
Show your love and how much you truly are thankful to God by forgetting yourself and living a way that resembles Jesus. When we realize how amazing Jesus is by taking our sins and taking the abuse He had to we can truly be free of our selfishness and seek the peace that he promises. Really feeling in our hearts how incredible Christ is truly lets us understand being the hands and feet of Jesus. Go in love and be a light. Amen
