Good Morning Beauties!
Let’s talk a little today about taking action. We've all heard the saying, "actions speak louder than words." The Bible also says, "Faith without works is dead." (James 2:17) Please don't confuse that verse by thinking works lead to our salvation...they don't.
God has shown me He has a part in our Righteousness, and we have a part. Jesus' redemptive work on the cross saves us. The Holy Spirit works to sanctifies us. He sets us apart and, through time, makes us Holy. God The Father sent Jesus to die for all of our sins, in fact, Jesus became sin and died to destroy the power of sin in our lives forever. By removing death's power over us, it's as if we never sinned...we are justified.
Did you see all the action God, through the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, took to create our Righteousness? Perhaps you can write the action words down in your journal and think about what He's done to ensure that you are in right standing with Him.
So what is our response? What is our part? I think it starts with gratitude. Having revelation in our hearts of the lengths God went to in order to reconcile us back to Him results in a humble and contrite spirit. With this humility, we move in obedience to the will of God, and our actions become who we are in other people's eyes - and more importantly, who God is in their eyes.
We are truly on display as God's workmanship. What do others see when they look at your life? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
