Would you want to hang out with somebody who took pleasure in shoplifting or wanted to rob a bank?
Would you want to attach yourself to mean people who derive pleasure in gossip, slander, and judging?
Would you want to hang out with ppl that cheated on their partner, and ran around playing with the hearts of others
Would you want to spend much of your time with someone who is wrapped up in themselves, who gives only little because that is their choice?
How about liars, you want to associate with ppl you can never trust?
Or those who are angry full of contention and negativity…
Or
Would you rather seek out those with integrity, the honest, decent, patient, kind, loyal, merciful, and selfless kind.
Isn't this why we want to walk in the spirit, clinging to Only true righteous One? How can we commune or expect Him to with us, if our thoughts and actions completely oppose who He is? We often talk about works (law) versus Grace. I think that we over complicate it. I know that I do, anyway. He saves us from our wretched selves so that we can start dwelling in the presence of Him. We all fall short, or sometimes long, lol, but having Him in our lives points to the value of our lives. We cherish the gift of Him and we yearn to reach for His magnificence. His mighty and beautiful grace inspires the desire and empowers our follow through to get the jobs done. Sure we want eternity, one with pleasures evermore, but I think the saving part we need to focus on most is the power He gives us, through Grace abound, to love and care for one another, right now. He saves us eternally from our wicked selfish and prideful estates.
Together, Brothers and Sisters, let's walk in His victory.
