✌🏼Stop Trying To Fix Yourself And Others
Instead, fix your eyes on Jesus!
The Gospel, the Good News, isn’t about me fixing others. It’s not even about fixing me. It’s about knowing Jesus to become who you were created to be. Like Him. Here. Now.
When you believe that truth, and receive the gift of a clear conscience you didn’t earn, things start fixing themselves–in you first. Only then, can you really help others. In His likeness. Born again.
Hello new creature!
A new creature has nothing to take credit for. Nothing to earn or deserve. The guiltless, forgiven heart has nothing to be offended by. A clear conscience doesn't point fingers. It doesn't take things personally.
Knowing about Jesus and knowing Jesus are two different things. Being a Christian and following Jesus can be two different things.
If you think you are a Christian because you prayed a prayer to get a ticket to heaven, you missed the point.
Heaven isn’t eternal life. Jesus is. We get to go where He is. Forever. But it gets better.
On the way to heaven, we get to know Him. Literally. Supernaturally. Relationship–not information.
You don’t get heaven with Jesus as a bonus. A new creature in Christ gets Jesus and abundant, eternal life now. Heaven is the bonus.
As you, by faith, follow Jesus and deny the parts of you that are the result of this world, broken by sin, a new life begins to take over. His light begins to shine. Living water begins to flow out of your very being.
Are you tired of carrying burdens and stress? Are you thirsty for new life? Abundant living?
John 7:37-38 (NET)
37 On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and 38 let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, ʻFrom within him will flow rivers of living water.ʼ”
Stop trying to fix yourself. Stop blaming and trying to fix others. Fix your eyes on Jesus.
You weren't created to be tired and discouraged. You were created in the very image of God, with the destiny of reflecting His very righteousness.
The Good News Jesus proclaimed is so much more than a ticket to heaven or hellfire insurance. It's a new life. Abundant, eternal life.
By faith, just be who God created you to be, in Jesus.
You weren't created to carry guilt, shame, or stress. The Good News isn't about someday. It's about abundant life now.
