Love so amazing

   

Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His. "With His stripes we are healed." 

 {Desire of Ages 25.2}

 

words of wisdom

do not run in front of the lord, always follow him behind.
do not fight the devil on your own, let God fight for you just trust him.
do not think you are smarter than Christ, he knows more than you.
we all have our own package of failure, do not look upon others, just follow Christ, trust him he knows what's best for you.

Hey everyone!!! Well I was going through one of my favorite books and I came across one interesting topic. I learnt a lot from the chapter and I thought to myself “ how am I going to share this with my friends  out there?”. This topic is so interesting and it will help you draw closer to Christ. So be blest.

When we read  romans 5: 10, a believer, according to Paul , is not only justified  by the blood of Christ (his death), but saved by the life of Jesus. WHAT IS THAT LIFE? It is the perfect life (character) that he worked out when he  was on earth. Now this character is then made real in the believers  as he learns to walk in this newness of life, trusting his lord to supply the “all things” that pertain to this new life.

Of course, the goal in learning to walk in the new life is to completely rely upon divine nature to crush out the habits of the old nature that are a carry-over from  the old, but recently crucified, nature.

Character is what we are. Reputation is what people think we are. The first is revealed by our habit pattern, the second by thoughtful control. The character is not revealed by occasional good deeds and occasional misdeeds, but by the tendency of the habitual words and acts.

Habitual living is that which we do before we consciously think about what to do. Much of our living day by day is motivated by subconscious mind. Our surrender to Christ’s living in our lives must become habitual. That is, it must be a natural thing to do.

We may keep so near to God that in every unexpected trial our thoughts will turn to him as naturally as a flower turns to the sun. it is hard for man to face the fact that in him dwells nothing good. when men see their own nothingness, they are prepared to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ.

 Christ permits to touch us only that  which will help our character to become like His. By accepting this truth we learn to trust him in every experience of life. Thus, we live by faith and not by sight. It was thus that Jesus lived here as our example.
