This thing called Christianity is an on going thing and there are times when you come across something thought provoking as this little devotional is.
I wanted to pass it along.
God Bless.
The sacrifices the Jewish priests preformed were never finished because their sacrifices could not take away people’s sin, only Christ’s physical sacrifice of Himself, the “spotless lamb” could do this once and for all! When we accept Jesus’ free gift of salvation, we are completely right with God because of the once and for all sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf. We must remember that our good works do not save us but rather Jesus’ shed blood on the cross. Though we are perfect in God’s sight because of what Jesus did on the cross, that doesn’t mean we don’t continue to struggle with sins in our lives. We will always be a work in progress until we see Jesus face to face. Don’t get discourage if you feel like you still have so much to learn and so many areas of your life that you need to change in order to live more like Christ.
Remember that daily God is working in your life, molding you and shaping you….we are ALL in the process of being made holy, none of us have arrived. That’s why God gives us grace, our salvation is not based on our works but on what Jesus has already done on our behalf. How we live our lives and our obedience to Him is a reflection of our love for Him.
