“…and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”( Matthew 28:20)

When we gave our lives to Christ, we surrendered our all to Him. We accepted us in our filthy sins and cleansed us with His precious blood. Not only that, He adopted us as His begotten Son and made us Heir over everything He has. However, although we have been separated from our “old man”, we are utterly not free from temptations. What if we drawn away by our own desire and enticed…?

The Bible makes it clear that we are not tempted by God but our desire lured us to sin. However let’s us condemn ourselves after we discovered that we’ve been away from the normal course. Let’s remember that, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”( Romans 5:6). Long before we were born and conceived, we were saved by the blood. Is it because we kept commandments? No, it’s just of His awesomeness of Grace.

While this is not a license to live a sinful life, let’s understand that even when we seem to be far away, we’re close by the blood of the lamb. We are tethered to Him. We are called of Him and regardless of what we think of ourselves, He has saved us and called us to be His workmanship.

May the grace of God abide us to His God’s will and make have eternity with Jesus.

Amen
