Turst In Christ

Trusting in the Word of God affords us the privilege of not having to trust in ourselves any longer. Man puts so much confidence in their abilities and knowledge that when they see that they are flawed they are left in a hopeless state, that some can never make it out of. We as being part of the body truly should understand that man is evil and all his ways are as such. When hopefully all of us believed on Jesus Christ and His completed work on the cross we did so in the knowledge that we could no longer live this life in our own strength. We all made the mistake and came into the belief that we could serve God in our own strength or hold to God’s standard in our own strength and soon found out that the same source that brought us salvation would have to be the same source to work out our salvation. There is nothing we can do separate of Christ Jesus in our own flesh that would bring God glory!!! God needing us to do something for Him is like us needing an infant to drive us to the store or pay our bills. God’s love for us is so free from seduction, necessity, guilt, or show that clearly most men cannot accept it and that’s why they deny it. We have a hope and understanding that we are hooked up to a power supply through the Holy Spirit which is greater than ourselves and in that we can humbly give God the Glory for everything that comes from the these temples. Trust in God’s word and understand your confidence is in Christ alone and His completed work as Lord and Savior and press towards the mark as a free bond servant in Christ!!! Have a wonderful life of trusting on purpose!!!!!


Philippians 3

No Confidence in the Flesh
1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
2Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh. 3For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh— 4though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless.
7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
