i've been thinking about grace and how often i say i understand it but ignorantly go day to day thinking that somehow I can add to the gospel of Christ crucified, by things I do for the Lord. bah. isn't that so much like a finite creation.
but He is well pleased with me only because He is well pleased with His Son...not in anything I do. that means anything!
You are the righteousness of God in Christ. That's your new identity...
" I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! Galatians 2:17-19
no act of worship
no tears of repentance
no bible memorized
no confession to others
no beautiful prayer
no steps of faith
no finite love for others
no amount of hall ministry
no good discipleship
no selfless deed
no evangelizing
no blog entry
no law followed...will ever add to the cross of Christ. In this I will place my trust and will I glory.
His blood alone can atone...It is finished.

Good post. God doesn't even need us, and yet He uses us anyway!! Just one more reason to bring us to our knees.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
