Respond
To live for the Lord. What does that mean. Some say be nice to people. Give to the homeless. Turn the other cheek. Some say tell the truth no matter how the other will feel or the timing of the truth that was spoken. Some believe to put the law above the persons salvation. This is what I believe. Love the Lord with all your mind, body and soul. I believe we need to respond to Grace. I believe that loving the Lord will help you live like Christ. God didn't make it complicated.... We did. I think we get so caught up with not sinning that we forgot or didn't realize that we should just love the Lord. Being obsessed with the Lord will keep you from sin. Will we mess up, yes, but Grace died on the cross because He knew we would. Loving Christ will dictate your actions speech and most importantly your heart. When you are in love you tell everybody, you do weird things, you don't care what people say about you. You just love!!! When people see Love they can't help but want to have that same Love. We are not the ones that grow the church. Christ grows the church. He's the reason people become saved because they fell in love with Christ. Tell people about Christ and how much He loves us and he takes care of the rest. Respond to Grace. Respond to Love. Respond to Christ.
Great explanations & exhortations! You're precisely right: "God didn't make it complicated...we did." Looking forward to reading more of your blog...
