In Him and through faith in Him. This is an amazing concept. When we look at the Law of God we find only the plumb line of righteousness. The perfect and unmoving standard of all that is right. Problem is that in itself the Law consistently shows what a perfect life should be but does not shed any light on HOW to live up to it. It is like a meter of sorts like a gas gauge on your dashboard. It shows you how much gas you have in the tank precisely, but does nothing, not one whit to show you how to get gas or where to get gas or anything of the sort. The Law, like the gauge merely gives a snapshot of truth. Now when we look at the incomparable life of Christ we see not only the perfect example of how to live and how the Law is fulfilled in a human life but more importantly we have the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us and to empower us to lead holy and righteous lives. This is the paramount difference that separates our faith from all other creeds or religions. The Law which is the perfect standard coupled with the great grace of God to accomplish it. All for the benefit of fulfilling His purposes on earth and coincidentally as we do so we enjoy great peace and joy in ourselves. In Him and through Him.
APPLICATION
To seek to get self out of the way and allow the Holy Spirit to truly lead my life today.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
