May the mumbling commence!
In the court of the Most High God, we have available to us the Greatest Counselor. He asks for nothing except your love and allegiance and faith. And He is tireless in his efforts to bring us not only to full acquittal but to a fullness of life that we have never known before. This, the Greatest of Counselors, is none other than Jesus. Read from Romans chapter eight (NLT):
Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? Will God? No! He is the one who has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? Will Christ Jesus? No, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us. (Verses 33-34)
When we choose Jesus as the Master of our lives, there is no more condemnation. No accusations will stick. The love and mercy of God have conquered all.
All we need to do is choose Jesus. Christ pleads for us to do that. Only we can do that. No one else can choose for us… it’s that freedom and will and choice that is part of being made in the image of God.
After we make that choice, Jesus then turns and pleads with our heavenly Father. And God will accept us with arms flung wide. This gift of good standing is God’s to give, and the Lord is pleased whenever it is given and received.
So, what are we waiting for?!? I accept Jesus as my Savior, my Master, and the Greatest of all Counselors. What about you?
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
