DO THE MATH!

Do you consider yourself a good person? From where do you gain your validation? Are you forgiven, I mean, fully and completely forgiven? Do you love being you? Are you struggling to measure up to being good enough either in the eyes of God or people? Do you feel like God is smiling at you or do you perceive him as being frustrated with you? These questions determine whether you are pleasing God or not and whether you will be successful in life or not. Mind you, success is far more than money or fame – it is the culmination of who you are on the inside.

It is so crucial that you take the time to carefully do the math on this most important life equation – here it is:

3.  If Jesus died for all sin then God is in love with you – RIGHT NOW… DO THE MATH!

John 3:16  For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whosoever would believe in him, would not perish but have everlasting life.”

If all your sin, past, present and future is paid for, and you believe it – then you are perfect in God’s sight. Consider this amazing Scripture.

Heb 10:14 For by one sacrifice he (God) has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

Through the blood of Jesus, God has made you perfect in his sight, and through that perfection is transforming your life to look just like himself. Oh, that we would carefully consider these truths! Oh, that we would receive our right-standing with God! Oh, that we would live the abundant life that comes through the revelation of the sacrifice of Jesus for us! Oh, that we would…
