I made several attempts to write a blog this morning, but couldn’t get across what I wanted, so I’m going to use bullet points. Or you can just skip the bullets and go read Galatians.
- felt more sinful today than yesterday, even though I haven’t really done anything but wake up and go to class
- it depressed me
- Holy Spirit showed me that I was depressed about it because I was disbelieving the gospel
- I don’t have to be good, Jesus was good for me. Through the cross his life was applied to mine.
- I was depressed because I was viewing myself as my savior.
- I will constantly be realizing more and more how sinful I am, but my hope is not in me, its in Christ, and as my sinfulness gets bigger and bigger, so does the cross. The more sinful I realize I am, the greater Jesus’ work on my behalf is.
- I am sinful. Completely and in every way. But I was crucified with Christ and he now lives in me. The sinful Chris died on the cross with Christ, now I am a new creation walking out my new identity in Christ.
- I will sin less and less as I grow, but that’s not my goal, my goal is to trust fully in Jesus’ work, not my own.
