"The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers who have been deified by man, is that these moralists came to make bad people good, Jesus came to make dead people live. East or west, north or south, ancient or modern, the problem is the same and the solution is the same. Once we understand the heinousness of sin, we'll gain a deep and lasting gratitude for God." - Ravi Zacharias
Being a Christian doesn't entail doing good things by our own efforts, it's not about being better than other people..because we are not by any means better than ANYONE! We've just by God's grace realized the TRUTH!! We will ALWAYS fail if we do it on our own. It's not even about doing good either!!! It's realizing how good HE is so that we so we will want to respond to Him by our life of love and faith..hopefully displayed not by just words but by actions!
It's about having faith in the Almighty it's about abandoning yourself to Him, to let the Savior transform your life so that nothing else can satisfy your desires but serving Him, being in His presence, learning His Word, and living for His glory.
That's what Abba has been teaching me.
I have a long way to go still...but He's guiding me every step of the way!!!
