transatlitsacism

A testimony

What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be God’s man. Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God’s grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.

- Galatians 2:19-21 MSG

I just wish Jesus would come back already.
And sometimes (although I’m grateful for it, I’m just being dramatic) I think that living with my old heart of stone would be a lot easier than living with a heart of flesh.

“My grace is enough for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
- 2 Corinthians 12:9

Tumblr is only fun every couple of months when you have a day off, and don’t feel like doing anything other than sitting on the couch.
