Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you,
and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
I must apologize for not writing my blog yesterday but I was traveling to Sacramento to meet with my surgeon and to be prepared for the next upcoming surgery in September. The surgery will not be as extensive as the next surgery that will be discussed and scheduled in November.
The lives of many a man or woman that has come to Authentic Christian Faith has been one of unrestrained license. A newborn baby in Christ we can say new process of living and allowing their lives to be transformed in this transformation is 180°turnaround and face many difficulties and the fact that some consequences continue to plague. It is easy that passed that was unrestrained license against God causes a sense of guilt for having lived such a simple and poor life. This is true when one looks at their past and see exactly the implications of the atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross. There is a song that was written by Christoferson entitled "Why Me Lord" due to his past and his having come to believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe you to ask that very same question and feel discouraged because you know you have not walked far from that old life.
The good news is that you can find rest for your souls in Jesus Christ and that the full implications of the atonement whether or not at this time have been fully applied to your lives it can be if you desire it to be. You can find rest from your past by placing your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ the writer of the Psalm (51:17) is one to internalize them are here you learn that God will heal a broken and contrite heart and he will not despise you for your pass will accept you for your present and your repentance. This has to be such good news so that you do not have to be to secure it for fall into despair come rather, you can rise up and face this life with the newness of life that God has placed in you.
Yes, Authentic Christian Faith Comes with a Struggle but When We Live a Life, a Life That Is Committed to the Lord Jesus Christ that struggle will matter whatever degree that struggle is, discipline and obedience and coming to a coup knowledge of the Redeemer of the Lord Jesus Christ we can fight this battle. The culture of this world can be overcome when the personality of God and Jesus Christ is a greater influence than the influence of the culture of this world. Remember this: God is all powerful and is all willing to come to your aid. Remove from you the exercise of autonomy and put your faith In Jesus Christ until He returns. You can have wonderful and deep satisfaction and great joy for the battles can be overcome and you do not have to face this alone. There is great pleasure in being an Authentic Christian one who holds fast to Authentic Christian Faith. God is offering this will you reach out and take it?
But I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God: I trust
in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
I will praise be for ever, because thou
hast done it: and I will wait and thy name;
for it is good before thy saints.
Psalms 52: 8 -- 9
Rest in the promises of God
Richard L. Crumb
