However, they will say, "you can be holy."
God has made us holy. Our walk is by faith and not by sight, the just will life by faith, why? Why not sight?
Because what we see looks different. So we don't believe that God has made us righteous, and made us holy, and be it to us according to our faith.
If you don't believe the chair will hold you - look at that broken leg! - you don't sit in it. Sight informs faith. But not so with God. His Word informs our faith, and I only say it because this is what God said in His Word.
If we don't believe it's true, we don't walk in it. When we believe that it's about what Jesus did and not about what I do, that releases us to fully face and embrace our Father, and is the power over sin in our lives. In Him there is no sin, but why do we not remain in Him?
Because we think we can't. We're not qualified. Well, we're not. But in Christ, we are accepted.
Much love!
