Trust and Obey
I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing. Galatians 2:21
For years I struggled to be righteous by following the law, and failed. I grew up a Catholic and I was a zealous Catholic but did not have a relationship with my God then like I do now. It took for Him to reveal Himself to me.
With the revelation of Relationship came the grace of God, His grace enabled me to see my sin and repent, wholeheartedly. The peace that one event gave me was the most precious of all.
I know I cannot be righteous by keeping the law, I tried it for 19 years but I have lived grace for 40 years and am still grateful. I cannot go back into bondage for anything or anyone.
Yesterday I saw a post on Facebook about a woman who had had stage 3 breast cancer and lived. She said that career was not all there was but how good a person was. I felt sad because she is on another wrong path. Being 'good' might satisfy temporarily but it does not save our souls and in the end wears us out. Being good is Gods job. Jesus Himself said only God is good.
My job is to trust and obey! I need to trust Him to be good for me, I need to look at Him and make Him God in my life, not me. I make a lousy God. Amen!
Don't set aside the grace of God for Jesus died for a purpose, our eternal souls. Amen!
