Verse of the day: Come to God, and he will draw near to others (James 4. 8).
This verse means that there is a valuable experience of peace, security, harmony, and intimacy that is not unconditional, depending on not saddening the Spirit.
- It depends on the abandonment of bad habits.
- It depends on leaving the small inconsistencies in our Christian life.
- Walking close to God and yearning for the highest degree of holiness.
If this is true, I fear that today’s vulnerability ensures that God’s love is unconditional can prevent people from doing exactly the things the Bible says they must do to have the peace they want. By trying to give peace through “unconditionality. “, “we may be diverting people from the drugs prescribed by the Bible.
Let us tirelessly announce the good news that our justification is based on the value of Christ’s obedience and sacrifice, not ours (Romans 5. 19, How, by the disobedience of a man, many have become sinners, by the same obedience of one, will many become righteous?).
But let us also declare the biblical truth that the appreciation of this justification in its effect on the joy, confidence and power to grow in the likeness of Jesus is conditioned on the active abandonment of sins, leaving bad habits and mortifying lusts, seeking intimacy. Christ, and not sadden the Spirit.
