Staying In the Grace for Today

Flawless

For by that one offering he forever made perfect those

who are being made holy.

Then he says,

“I will never again remember

    their sins and lawless deeds.”

And when sins have been forgiven,

there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.

Hebrews 10: 14, 17-18

The Apostle Paul, in Colossians 1:22, spoke to the truth in the verses quoted above

“(God) has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.”

The music group, MercyMe, proclaims this truth in their popular worship song, Flawless.

"No matter the bumps, no matter the bruises, no matter the scars, still the truth is the cross has made you flawless. no matter the hurt, or how deep the wound is, no matter the pain, still the truth is, the cross has made you flawless."

I love that song! I believe it beautifully captures the truth of our right-standing relationship with God. Jesus, God’s Messiah came to establish the people of God as the Temple of the Holy Spirit. We often want to pause and ask, how is this working out in our life? Jesus has made it possible for us to serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit. (Romans 7:6)

This new way of living in the Spirit is ours because Christ has made us holy and blameless as we stand before him without a single fault. As we take our pause, let’s think about our life and remember that when we put our faith and trust in Jesus, God looks at us as holy and blameless and without a single fault. Let’s take time to think about our character traits, our habits and the routines of our daily life. How does our life, as we are choosing to live it, reflect the truth of what Christ has accomplished for us by the means of his blood on the cross?

My Takeaway: I invite you to join me and take a leap of faith and invite the Holy Spirit to so transform our life, that the life of Jesus, which is holy and blameless and without fault, may be made visible in our mortal flesh.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
