When that
is all it takes to be in a right relationship with God, why let another minute
go by without receiving from God His perfect provision - GRACE.
When
someone is in rebellion and if you really care about seeing them come back to
God:
You must be careful not to crush them with the "I’m holier than thou
spiel"
You mustn’t give them some long dissertation about how bad they
are
You shouldn’t condemn them
and speak words that you will forever regret, or worse, words that are ungodly.
How about - You just tell them of God’s grace
And for
yourself:
The next
time you are in rebellion or you’ve decided to take a short cut around God’s
perfect will for your life:
Don’t give up and throw in the towel
Don’t beat up on yourself and wallow in the mire of self pity for
the terrible things you’ve done.
Don’t condemn yourself to a lifetime of losing the battle.
Remember God’s Grace.
Come to
God knowing that His forgiveness is bigger than your sin and your praise and
worship will blossom like a Zinnia.
Come to
God knowing that there’s only one way to get things right with God and that’s
for God to get things right for you.
God’s
provision for your waywardness is Grace.
There’s
only one way to have peace with God and to be able to worship Him in spirit and
truth and it’s found in Romans 5:1-2 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2. By
whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."
The truly
spiritual man or woman will tell you - “If not for the grace of
God.................”
Of the many
things that affect your worship - the one thing that affects
your worship more than anything is: Being out
of a right relationship with God.
