Good morning! How are we faithing? Believers have got to get a grip on what I'm about to say. You accepted Jesus as messiah, you've been baptized and now you think you have to be perfect or at least if you are not, the salvation didn't take? Mule muffins. People, by grace we are saved not by works lest anyone boasts. We all desire to improve but remember that improvement has nil to do with our salvation. If you have to perform to keep salvation it becomes a "works" salvation and the Word is quite clear that is not the case. In this world there are perils and pitfalls that come in and out of our lives and the quicker we understand that ease and comfort is low on the list of life priorities the quicker we can get on with this walk. Look guys, we desire to improve and to be and live perfect but when we miss the mark we have to remember it's ok and ask forgiveness and help, get back up and continue on. God is not looking for ways to squash you for infractions, in fact, he knows we are incapable of perfection, only his son pulled that off. As you go through your days remember that we are already deemed not guilty so press on to the prize, focus on Jesus, learn from mistakes and be passionate towards others and as a result you'll become better and be better for it.
Tit 3:4-8But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
