She Reads Truth - This is The Bible Day #2
The bible is the story, the story of God. It is a story of God who revealed himself through Jesus Christ and accomplished His purpose through love, glory, grace, and mercy on us. The best part about this story is that it's about God, it doesn't have to be completely about us. We are free from being the center of attention and performing flawlessly, that's all God's job, this is His story.
"To truly know Him, to live a life of abundance and grace and joy and meaning in relationship with Christ Jesus, we must listen to Him speak." - She Reads Truth
Here are some of my thoughts:
We should not compare our lives to those of others, but instead we should compare our lives with what God commands. God has a plan already set for us before we even start, and its far bigger than we can imagine. The thing we have to remember is that our plans might not be God's plan, we have to turn our plans over to God and if it is right for us God will answer with Yes, if he answers with No then He will lead us in our faith where we need to be.
Matthew 5:17-18
I will be honest I had some trouble with this scripture. I was kind of lost to its meaning, I had to do some additional reading of Matthew 5:1-20. Matthew starts with the be-attitudes or the new laws/ways of living that will allow us to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. 17-18 is God's explanation of the New Testament and how the 10 commandments of the Old Testament have been met (it's purpose achieved) and are therefore removed.
I would love to hear your thoughts, please comment or email me!
