God Does Not Delight In

The Realization That My Daily Relationship With God Is Based On The Infinite Merit Of Christ Instead Of On My Own Performance Is A Very Freeing And Joyous Experience. But It Is Not Meant To Be A One-time Experience; The Truth Needs To Be Reaffirmed Daily.

The Assurance Of His Total Forgiveness Of Our Sins Through The Blood Of Christ Means We Don't Have To Play Defensive Games Anymore. We Don't Have To Rationalize And Excuse Our Sins. We Can Call Sin Exactly What It Is, Regardless Of How Ugly And Shameful It May Be, Because We Know That Jesus Bore That Sin In His Body On The Cross.

Sometimes The End God Has In Mind Is To Exercise Our Faith, So He Brings Us Into Straitened Circumstances So That We Might Look Up To Him And See His Deliverance.

Every Day Of Our Christian Experience Should Be A Day Of Relating To God On The Basis Of His Grace Alone. We Are Not Only Saved By Grace, But We Also Live By Grace Every Day.

Introspection Can Easily Become The Tool Of Satan, Who Is Called The Accuser. One Of His Chief Weapons Is Discouragement. He Knows That If He Can Make Us Discouraged And Dispirited We Will Not Fight The Battle For Holiness.
