Sometimes Salvation


For our sake He made to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become the righteousness of God.  2 Corinthians 5:21

I still consider myself a ‘work in progress’ as it pertains to my walk of faith, but the enemy will stop at nothing to undermine our joy by constantly reminding us that we don’t measure up to God’s standard.  As believers we must boldly declare that we are new creations in Christ and continue to press on in our faith.

I have been in a rut lately, spiritually speaking, and the sermon I heard Stephen DeFur deliver at Cokesbury West this past Sunday, reminded me there is nothing that we can possibly do to make God love us any more or any less than He already does.  I never really thought of this before and it makes sense.  We simply cannot earn God’s grace or His love-He already loves us and always will.

God understands that our growing and learning is a process and He wants us to enjoy ourselves on the way to reaching our goals as believers!
