Chutzpah

When we become Christians, Jesus’ righteousness is placed on us and our sins are all forgiven, giving us the opportunity to approach God with boldness. However, simply because our sins are all forgiven doesn’t mean we should go out and sin all the more. God still disciplines those He loves, and we should fill our lives with Scripture to fight temptation.

When we live without bearing fruit, God may choose to allow crap come into our lives in order to fertilize us so that we can be useful to Him and bear fruit. He does not want us to be a vegetable and do nothing for Him, never changing or growing. When we abide in Him, we grow and change and our relationship with Him bears fruit in our lives that others can see.

Often times it’s like opening a can of worms when we talk about pain and suffering we’ve gone through. Rather than keep these things hidden away, Jesus wants to use those worms to go fishing for other hurting people.

God has us on this earth so that we can share the Gospel with others and reach those that are lost, helping to bring them from spiritual death to life. We must be following Jesus closely so that He is making a difference in and through us in order to get people hooked and wanting what we have to offer.

Just as God chose David to become a king despite his appearance and what others might think, He wants to use us to do His work. It is not about whether or not we feel capable to do something, it is about being available for Him to equip us to do anything.

When Jesus died on the cross He took all of our sin, past, present and future, and nailed it to the cross with Himself. We are offered complete forgiveness for all our sin and guilt, and in order to live in this freedom we must accept what is offered and move forward, leaving our sin nailed to the cross.

When we experience God’s forgiveness at great lengths, we find ourselves loving others all the more. The Bible encourages us to greet each other with a holy kiss, showing intimacy in a way that lets go of hatred, animosity, insecurities and indifference.

All the prophesies came true about Jesus suffering and dying on the cross as a sacrifice to pay for our sin so that we could be reborn into God’s family. We, as believers, now make up the Body of Christ to show the world the hope that we find in Him.

Just as a little debris can keep water from coming out of a showerhead, a little bit of sin in our lives can keep God’s living water from flowing out of us to those around us. We need to examine our lives and let go of our sin so that God can work in us and through us to reach others.
