The revelation that we have of Jesus will not affect our Daddy’s acceptance of us. But it will definitely affect our acceptance of what our Daddy has for us and thus, greatly affect the way we receive from Him.
Those who are still under the mixture of law and grace will continue to work to deserve their blessings but those who have understand grace know that our Daddy in Heaven has blessed them in the heavenly realm with every spiritual blessings in Christ.
It is a big difference. One still work to deserve and even go to the extent of begging while the one who know grace already have it.
Not fair, it is not fair..!!! Some may cry out! Yes… it was not fair to Jesus…!!!
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
Jesus was rich and He gave up His dwelling place in heaven to come down on this earth to die for us on the cross. He was sinless but was made sin and He was rich, but was made poor on the cross just for us. It is by His grace that we receive all His blessings; and grace is undeserved and unmerited favor of God. If we are to work for the blessings, we are actually earning our Daddy’s blessings and I am sorry to say that our Daddy is no debtor to anybody.
Today, if we want to experience right living, find out how finish is Jesus’ Finished Work on the Cross and what we have in Him — and believe it!
Right believing produces right living and consequently, our right living glorify Him.
bagging? i think you mean begging there Al...otherwise cool post...so 100%right...we HAVE the blessings already, but do we believe it!!!

Like Elisha's attendant, we need to "see" the Truth of our Reality in Christ.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteI just found out that our limitation of words or even our carelessness in using words cannot stop Him from emitting the aroma of His grace...
It is not about us, it is all about Jesus...
