Grace Church

As Christians, it is so hard to for us to come to the basic understanding that Christ was who He said He was and did for us what He said He did. Born in a manger, but died on a tree to save a wretch like you and me. To comprehend this message has to take the greatest faith and understanding of this kind of sacrifice to grasp the full scope of this kind of Love.

This is the reason I believe the Galatians and today’s Christians alike have a hard time believing in the saving power of Christ. If we look closely at our lives we will find that we too live not as ourselves, or as God has created us to be. I believe they call it, “keeping up with the Jones’s” these days. We live in houses we can not afford we by cars that exceeds our yearly income, we look at Television for our next inspiration for our next piece of clothing. If our neighbors have it them we want it, if our friends start getting married we go out of our way to get there too. It’s just our nature to want what others have. That’s why Paul tells us in James not to envy, but just to ask our Heavenly Father. We sometime loose God’s vision for us and get ensnared with trying to be like others so that that god doesn’t notice us as the person he created.

Like Paul clearly reprimanded the Galatians for leaving the true Gospel and relying on self for salvation. We need that same kick in the butt, but on a daily basis because the floods of the devil comes in so through our daily entertainment television, internet, ads, you name it it comes and we need a buffer to keep us safe from all harms, we need a Paul to clarify the Truth to us daily. We ourselves need to learn the Truth about the person God has created and why. You/we are God’s and the Bible calls us His royal Priesthood, a Peculiar people, meat for the Master’s use. Sons and Daughters, Heir’s of the Kingdom, Beloved, Children Of God, Salt of Earth, Light of the World, and we need to know everything God was thinking when He created us so we can be Paul to our respective circles of influence, family, friends, at work and with believers in Christ alike. So now return to your first love, and turn around to the One that has called you from darkness unto the marvelous light, living what you know that God has created you to be.
