Here is the thing, here is the mystery and good news. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we are a new creation. God has already called out of us who he created us to be. When God looks at you he is not seeing anxious Betty, or lustful Edgar or prideful John. No, he is seeing his son and daughter completely formed into who Jesus has formed.
Now your journey around here is to daily step into that already existing reality and as you follow in obedience through the power of the Holy Spirit, you become who you already are. And this takes intentional partnering with God. Without him, we can’t and without us, he won’t.
Grace is not opposed to working. It is opposed to earning. By Grace, we have already been made Holy and now we are invited to partner with God, working out our salvation. You are invited to partner with God
