Arise and Shine

This is final: I have deleted the record of your sins and misdeeds. It is not possible to recall them. (Nothing in God’s reference of mankind, reminds him of sin.) (Hebrews 10:17) Mirror Bible

There is nothing we can do to persuade God of our sincere intentions.. it is God persuading us about His eternal love for us! (Francois du Toit)

If we choose to find our reference in the brokenness of Adam..if we keep referring to ourselves as unworthy sinners..then every day will be a religious repetition that leads to lack, unworthiness and captivity.. 

It is because of the Perfect Lamb.. Jesus.. It is because of the success on the cross.. it is because of our inclusion in His death and resurrection.. that we can now shift our reference point from the brokenness of Adam to the victory and freedom in Christ our Saviour.. 

God’s reference of mankind is Jesus.. who came to earth as an example of who we truly are.. don’t be swayed by worldly billboards of inaccurate references.. You are righteous, victorious, worthy, well able, richly blessed, highly favoured and deeply loved! Find your reference point in Christ! 

“So now the stage is set for us: all these faith-heroes cheer us on, as it were, like a great multitude of spectators in the amphitheater. This is our moment. As with an athlete who is determined to win, it would be silly to carry any baggage of the old law-system that would weigh one down. Make sure you do not get your feet clogged up with sin-consciousness. Become absolutely streamlined in faith. Run the race of your spiritual life with total persuasion. (Persuaded in the success of the cross.)” (Hebrews 12:1) Mirror Bible
