Free like a bird!

With God doing all of this for me, who am I to condemn myself when Christ has liberated me. 

I had a healthy conversation this morning on my way to work. Yes, Grace is available,  yes God has redeemed us but we have a part to work out our salvation.

I am grateful I belong to this generation… I am the redeemed of the Lord. The righteousness of Christ. The star of the heaven for the multitude. I am God’s pride!

But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we’ve compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:23‭-‬24
