Discovering something that will revolutionize your life is a gift from God, and indeed God has more for you and me to discover than we have ever dreamed possible! So, what’s the holdup?

Have you ever felt like you’ve heard about God’s grace a lot but still seem like you are missing out on all that should be yours in Christ? Have you felt like you are in a process of discovery that’s taking much longer than you had hoped? Don’t feel bad! Many of us have felt the same way. Even Abraham, the father of our faith, had to go through a process of discovery. Take a look at this…

Romans 4:1-3 1  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter? 2  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about – but not before God. 3  What does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

To gain access into the secret discovery Abraham received, we must fully believe that our works cannot make us right with God or give us the life God longs for us to have. The sooner we let go of anything we can do to deserve or please God and instead receive his provision through Christ Jesus, the sooner we will experience what our forefather Abraham tapped into. 

The most difficult yet simple thing you will ever do is let go of your righteousness to receive your perfect standing with God through Jesus. Accepting God’s abundant grace is often the most difficult for those with much knowledge or super willpower. Because it has been so ingrained in us to live by works, only a humble, childlike heart will be able to believe and step into this extraordinary freedom God has offered to us through Christ.

The good news of Jesus Christ is only good news for those who are humble and childlike enough to simply receive it. Jesus said, “Unless you come like a little child, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.” So, what’s the holdup? I think it can be summed up in the word childlike. We must believe God with childlike faith, which means we must trust him without question – without reservation!

Oh, my dear friend, if only we would let go and fully believe God! What amazing life could be ours – what wondrous things we would experience! My partner in Christ, today is your day to go deeper into the love and grace of God! I am praying that as you read this, God will reveal to you the seed of his truth so that you can experience…
