We are justified through Christ because He has forgiven us.
He has showed us something that we have often been told… That we don’t understand the significance of what we have until it is taken away. God dosen’t want this but the devil does. The devil leads us to take for granted everything that God has blessed us with. The devil takes away but God makes all things new. God knows our hearts and can see through our flesh.
We are beautifully and wonderfully made because we are Christ’s creations. It is when we start believing that we “deserve” to do the ministry of Christ, that we begin to fall. No one deserves to do the work of Christ because we have all fallen short.
But there is a reason God has placed us in the position that we are in. He has a purpose and a plan for our lives. And with any relationship, there are going to be constant struggles and things that need fixing. But if we are upfront with God, He will be upfront with us and help us to learn from our mistakes and get through our hardships. One of the most important elements in the Christian life is having the wisdom to understand that in order to go forward in our walk, we must constantly be going back to the beginning, to the foundation of our Christianity through realization and repentance.
