To become one with Jesus Christ, a person must be willing not only to give up sin, but also to surrender his whole way of looking at things. Being born again by the Spirit of God means that we must first be willing to let go before we can grasp something else. The first thing we must surrender is all of our pretense or deceit. What our Lord wants us to present to Him is not our goodness, honesty, or our efforts to do better, but real solid sin. Actually, that is all He can take from us. And what He gives us in exchange for our sin is real solid righteousness. But we must surrender all pretense that we are anything, and give up all our claims of even being worthy of God’s consideration.

GRACE
God is a gracious God. He loves us when we are unlovable. He never leaves us. Obedience is the key for God’s blessing to be in your life. What can you do to draw closer to God? Are you seeking Him with all your heart? God wants 100% of you, no less! This is a must! I know this is a big order, but doesn’t the Savoir of your soul deserve your all? If God did nothing less than the cross, we would deserve no more! Are you ready to give it all………….
