The Rest of the Gospel: When the partial Gospel has worn you

Post by thomaslaw3 »

People throughout history have been searching for a closer walk with God. Even those who have found the answer – Jesus – continue to struggle to "please" God by doing "things" and trying to be obedient to the "law". As the author points out, "The really good news is that He is in us, living His life as us. You are the means by which the world sees the love and life of God." Why can't we accept this? Why do we continue to try to achieve something we already have? Why are we convinced that there is something more? As the author say, "There's nothing spiritual about saying you're seeking more of Jesus. Because He can't give you any more. He can give you more awareness about Whom you already have, but He can't give you any more of Himself. You've got Him, and He's got you." The answer is faith, accepting that the work that God, in Jesus, has done is us is complete and all we have to do now is live in Him. "Learn to hear how God speaks to you your way. Then follow Him, [doing] what God prompts you to do."
