Jhn 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

It's why I've claimed the following scripture for myself (and my blog): I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven. Luke 7:47 What an amazing, and completely undeserved, thing it is. Gratitude was my over-whelming emotion when I first got saved, and I hope to never lose that. It’s why I’ve claimed the following scripture for myself (and my blog):

I say to you, her sins,
which are many,
have been forgiven.
Luke 7:47

What an amazing, and completely undeserved, thing it is.

It is just that the message of doing works, etcetera to try to be good enough to achieve a reward versus doing works because you have something and want to share the joy are two very differing concepts. It is being inspired versus trying desperately to have enough brownie points. Thanks for the reminder, today.

It is very encouraging and so freeing. Jesus did everything for us. All we have to do is simply accept it and live in the freedom He gives us. We don't have to struggle by ourselves trying to be perfect, we can simply accept His free gift of righteousness and walk in it. When I was reading your post, I remembered something James Kennedy said. (And I will adapt it to fit this post) If you don't thank God for righteousness, you probably don't have it. (He used eternal life in his example.) How often do we thank God for what He has done for us? We can live in the freedom God gives us and thank Him that He has already done what we could never do! I absolutely love that song, by the way. What an awesome lyrics! Thank you for this post. It is very encouraging and so freeing. Jesus did everything for us.

But I was referring to dying to oneself--to the flesh-- and walking in the newness of life (Romans 6). :) What you say is very good, Jim. But I was referring to dying to oneself–to the flesh– and walking in the newness of life (Romans 6). :)
