“Put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. ” Ephesians 4:24 NASBS Blessed Christian, rest in this, that God is sovereign, and that which He purposes He will always bring to pass. As it is written, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Remember, everyone who does evil, hates the light, but you have come near to the light. And the reason you have come to the light is that God chose to love you before the foundations of the world were ever laid. Though you were a child of wrath, fitted for destruction, when the fullness of the time came, the light of God’s living word pierced through the hardness of your heart. You see, The Holy One of Israel, Who never sleeps nor slumbers, knew you when your life demonstrated that you wanted no part of Him. But despite your wickedness, He drew you to Himself, and He showed you your sin. Then He turned the eyes of your heart to see His Only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, hanging onthe cursed cross. For the first time, you saw His weakened frame, His dismembered joints, the nails that were driven through His hands and feet, His swollen eyes, the torn flesh of His bruisedbody, and the blood that was your atoning sacrifice flowing out of Him. The word of God says, “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
