How hard are you trying to live the Christian life?
Much of Christian Counseling and Preaching today exhorts us to memorize a Bible verse relating to our struggle and then just try harder to do what it says.
Here’s the problem: There is only one Person who ever successfully lived the Christian life….. Jesus!
Here’s reality: You cannot live the Christian life by JUST TRYING HARDER!
Here’s the solution: STOP TRYING! START RESTING!
Jesus has won the victory over the world, the flesh and the devil.
By faith, He has taken up residence in our human spirits. He lives in our skin!
As we humbly admit that apart from Him we can do nothing, we surrender to His life in us.
Jesus is then free to pour out His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control into us and then through us to the people in our lives.
This week’s Nugget video looks further at what it is to stop trying to live the Christian life and to start resting in Jesus’ expressing His life through you!
I hope it encourages you and the you will share it with your friends.
Blessings!
