The Point of the Cross of Christ
Our friend Geo made a great statement in a recent post. It came in answer to the old question, "If we're already saved (reconciled, redeemed), what's the point of living a good life"."The whole point of the Cross of Christ was to show us that we can do nothing to reconcile ourselves to God. Upholding the law won’t do it. Being good won’t do it. Being religious won’t do it. Sacrificing won’t do it. There is nothing we can do to make God to include us into His love........". The point of the cross is it's already done. Accept it. Enjoy it. Praise Him for it. God is Love.....When you come to the realization of what Christ did at the cross, the question about living a good life will become moot. God's spirit resides within us. Nuff said....

That's it, Don! It's really not complicated, is it? The changes I've seen in people's lives as a simple result of being set free from guilt and shame, is astounding! People with terrible burdens of fear and doubt are being freed to experience an abundance of life beyond explanation! What a wonderful gift God has given us... now if people could just realize what they have, the world would be transformed into heaven!
Yep Don, the great thing is that by removing the "need" to live a "purpose driven life", our lives start producing a lot more fruit anyway due to that Spirit within us.
Living a "good" life is the most blessed life you can live. A testimony of no external religion. Lead only by the inner Spirit of grace with "the old man" or "ego" out of control. No Fear. Only God's unconditional love to receive and share with all those who God puts you in contact with.
The freedom is incredible!
This is really weird. This is the last post I see from home. At work I see your blog updated. Strange huh?
