Daily Passage

Hebrews 13:20-21 Posted: 30 Jan 2012 05:29 AM PST May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Most applicable part of this passage to my everyday life, (other than Our Lord's paying the ultimate price, that we are worth THAT much to Him), is that He HAS begun a work in us and will complete it. Thanks to God that it is not entirely up to us. That He gives us more grace. Don't get me wrong. I don't mean this as a license to sin, but we simply cannot sin enough that God's grace wold be "used up", if you will. But we obey out of love and gratitude and for the sake of others that may see our good deeds and glorify God, repent, and be saved from the flames of hell. Too much talk today about God is love. This is true but love is not God. He is holy, righteous, just, long suffering, patient with us. He's waiting, holding back His judgement because it is not His will that any should perish. Oh that we would act upon the urgency His grace implies!
