Word being broken?

You can be flawless!

Another word for flawless would be perfect. For us there is only one way to be made flawless/perfect and that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Only followers of Jesus are flawless/perfect in the sight of God! Look at these verses:

John 17:23
23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Colossians 1:28
28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 10:14
14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

1 Peter 5:10
10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Wow! Made perfect/flawless by Jesus! Such amazing grace offered to us! Think about these verses and listen to this awesome song by Mercy Me called "Flawless" and give the Lord some praise!

Don't be a mule!!!

Are you hard headed? Stubborn? In some ways it can be good as in not wavering in your faith but in some ways it can be a bad thing as we see here:

Psalm 32:8-9
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with bit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.

God wants us to be teachable when it comes to Him and His Word. We NEVER get to a place on this side of heaven where we know everything God wants us to know! God will continue to instruct and teach the followers of Jesus as long as we remain humble and teachable. The Bible is the #1 way God instructs us....how much of it do you know? How often do you read and meditate upon it? Don't miss the part in the above verses that says "with my eye upon you". God is watching....don't be like a stubborn animal and let His Word go in one ear and out the other!!!!!

So here is the question with a little humor maybe....are you a mule or a learning, listening, follower of Jesus????

You have what you need for a godly life!

When you give your life to Jesus, the Holy Spirit immediately comes and dwells inside of you. You then have the power to live the godly life God desires for you to live and hopefully you desire to live also! Look at these verses:

2 Peter 1:3-4
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

God loves us so much I don't think we can even come close to fully comprehending it! Verse 3 tells us God through His divine or godly power has given us everything we need for life and godliness! We have no excuse! We receive what we need through the knowledge of Him and His Son Jesus. Once we follow Jesus God grants us all His promises so that we ourselves take on a divine or godly nature! Verse 4. Wow! You have a godly nature by the power of the Holy Spirit because you are a follower of Jesus! praise be to the almighty God! No having this godly nature we now have the power to escape the sin or corruption of this world. We can overcome our sinful desire by our godly nature and power! Again we are without excuse!

Brothers and sisters we have everything we need provided by our great God for a godly life, may we live in the power of the Holy Spirit and bring honor and glory to our King Jesus by living godly lives! Amen!
