What’s thwarting you from sharing your faith? – Or perhaps meeting the Master of our faith?
Imperfections can be a deterrent to freely moving forward with our relationship with Jesus. Sometimes they can stop us from feeling worthy enough to either share our faith with others, or receive the free gift of salvation from Jesus Himself.
Vain philosophies, traditional doctrines, critical judgments from other people, improper worship of the creation rather than the creator – - these can become obstructions to the true freedom and liberty which Christ has to offer.
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” (Col. 2:8)
Christ came to set us free – and to assure us of our victory over death. He took all our sins and paid the price for us. With the power of the Holy Spirit He gave us the strength to overcome our imperfections, to look past them, and to not let them have power over us. He died for us while we were all still imperfect, knowing that we would continue to struggle with our humanity until we could be made perfect in Heaven.
He loves us – and meets us where we are – “as” we are -
- and loves us anyway…….!
