When I first heard the "...Love, love this post! When I first heard the "rest" of the Gospel, it blew me away! It still does! :-) Thank you for explaining so beautifully how we are much more than forgiven (with a ticket to heaven)...we now have the indwelling life of Christ!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601718675860240867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590322.post-1152927734653282452006-07-14T20:42:00.000-05:002006-07-14T20:42:00.000-05:00So many times the gospel is presented.

Give up your life so that you can have eternal life..or commit your life to Christ and follow him so that you can have eternal life.<BR/><BR/>Those are all well intended, but the result can never come unless we allow ourselves to be healed and rest on Christ as our sin-bearer. Unless we receive Christ as a gift then our spirits will be restless and the more these other gospel calls are lauded as you doing something...the more you cause the soul of man unrest, but when man is calmed and told that he can believe that Christ died for him and that gift is free in his need, then he will be able to rest and that as a result of the peace found there his restless spirit will begin to trust and then God will be able to better control his restless spirit.<BR/><BR/>Peace and reconciliation brings, as you said the "I can do all things through Christ!" hope and the belief that he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think according to his power that works within us.<BR/><BR/>Don't you find it odd that the world cries out to follow Jesus with the mentality of Jesus Christ Superstar admiration and that Keith Green loved that movie and was stirred by that movie, but it wasn't until just before he died that he was able to rest on the Scriptural truth that Christ gives at the cross. <BR/><BR/>So much of that mentality is affecting us today. The Apostle Paul said he was casting down all imaginations that exalt itself against the knowledge of God.<BR/><BR/>God is so good as to help us walk in baby steps with a desire to Father us...not to whip us into shape.Bhedrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091896907803479900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590322.post-1152681242873664802006-07-12T00:14:00.000-05:002006-07-12T00:14:00.000-05:00wow wow wow!!!
