We are exploring how we are not the initiator of our internal heart changes because it’s not up to us to start a work of righteousness in our own life.
In this episode, we’ll be looking at:
+ How a religious mindset PUTS the RESPONSIBILITY on you to become righteous…
+ What your ROLE is in RESPONDING to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God...
+ How you can CONNECT to what He is INITIATING in you today…
+ Why you are in a BRILLIANT cycle of RELATIONSHIP between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit….
This devotional comes from the first two paragraphs on page 58 in The Nature of Freedom (2017 edition.)
Key Scriptures:
+ Romans 5:17 - For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
+ Ephesians 2:10 - For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
+ Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.
+ Romans 11:35-36 - Who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
