… you were bought at a price. — 1 Corinthians 6:20
When Jesus pays with His own blood, He doesn’t buy junk. If you are a child of God, God’s work in you is far more powerful, far more enduring than any propensity you may have for sin or any burden of wounds or bondage you carry. At your core, you are no longer one who practices sin, but instead a son or daughter of God.
God designed the Christian life to be impossible, so that it would never work apart from His supernatural intervention. That’s why trying harder never works. So, instead of doing for God, let God do for you.
Lies imprison; truth frees. The Son frees indeed as the light of His truth shines in the darkness of our lies. Jesus knows the geography of our souls, the origin of our lies, the whole path to deliverance and freedom.
Our role as Christians is to bring Christ to the damaged places. Let God meet each one at his or her point of greatest need, because our problems are God’s opportunities.
Be encouraged!
