If ever you are able to understand . . .the ones who are teaching complacency
Because I believe what God says, that we are in fact complete in Christ, that we have in fact become entirely and fully new, patterned after God Himself, because I believe when God tells me He's given me everything I need for life, and for godliness, already done, already new, already promised,
Because I believe these things IN NO WISE equals complaceny, which would be only one of many possible responses to these truths.
Some may become complacent, thinking there is nothing left to do.
Some may become disbelieving, thinking this is to bizarre to be real.
Some may become self-condemning, thinking this means they should have become sinless.
Some may become self-righteous, and condemning of others.
Some may become dispondant, feeling their case is hopeless.
Some may become empowered, discovering the reality of what God means when He says, the one who has died is freed from sin.
Be it to you according to your faith.
Much love!
