Not What You Can Do

We do not read our Bible and pray to get God to do anything for us. The reason we should be in God’s Word and fill our minds with it is to renew our minds to what Jesus has already done, not what we can do. When you renew your mind to God’s Truth of the finished work of Jesus Christ, you begin to believe it. You begin to believe God loves you and you begin to believe who He says you are. When you begin to believe it the Life of Christ begins to come alive in you and you begin to live a full life. You begin to live the life that your Father intended for you to live. Change begins to come effortlessly because you are no longer living out of needing to appease God or earn anything from Him, you are living out of your true identity in Christ. You are living approved and accepted. When you live this way, you live a life of miracles, because you are always expecting you Father to show up in your life. You believe that He wants good for you, and even if your prayers aren’t answered the way you think they should be, you are still at rest knowing He will always do what is best for you because He gave everything for you. You won’t live a perfect life, and you will have times of doubt, but even in the doubt, you know you are extravagantly loved and that ultimately, IT IS FINISHED!
