Titus 3:4-5 “But – When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sin, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.”
Think about this, He takes us where we are at. He didn’t send Jesus for all the people that were perfect. He sent Him so we can learn from Him and be what we are supposed to be, servants for the Lord. He washed away our old lives and gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us and help us choose what is right. We need to understand that Jesus already came and has ascended, that can’t be changed, but we can be by the Holy Spirit that lives in us. Are we feeding the Spirit by getting our knowledge and wisdom from the Lord or are we feeding our human nature by filling it with the things of the world? We are what we feed. I truly believe that the more we feed ourselves with God, reading His word and praying He strengthens our ability to choose what is right.
In the book “Christian Atheist” by Craig Groechel he said something that I really liked. “When we live thirsty for God, God will satisfy that longing. And as we continue to seek God, we’ll grow to know Him more and more intimately. When we hear God’s voice we’ll recognize it instantly. We’ll talk to God all the time and miss Him when circumstances distract us from His presence. We’ll build a history together, storing up story after story of shared experience. We’ll love God. We’ll trust God. We’ll know God.” We should all long for this relationship with the Lord because this is where true peace in this world comes from. Amen
