Sin is so much deeper than choosing right or wrong.
It’s a belief about God that says, “You are not enough.”
When we sin, we replace God as our treasure and source of life.
So repentance is putting God back in the #1 spot.
Which means obedience should be the fruit.
Because when God comes first, you don’t need sin to give you life.
Whatever need sin was meeting, God now meets.
So obedience is taking the risk that God is better than the thing I was using to satisfy me. It’s believing that He will satisfy.
And He will 100% of the time.
It’s a little unclear what it means when the Psalms say that God has “established strength from out of the mouths of very babes,” but I’m convinced this is it. Language means putting the world in rational order, understanding universals and particulars, grasping that *this* man fills a role called “dada” which, you will one day learn, other men fill for other children. In other words it means internalizing the principles that hold the universe together—principles like one and may and time and number, the foundations of music and of physics alike. And see how all this is drawn out from within into speech, the very foundations of heaven and earth coaxed tenderly from mind to lungs, across the teeth, into the very air, to form a shape the meaning of which is love. And for this the universe was founded, and in this the universe is made anew each day, with unfathomable might, the power that ignited a septillion nuclear reactors in the sky, drawn out again—again!—from the mouths of very babes.
I used to watch pornography, and it almost ruined my life.
What started as a mistake became a habit.
A habit turned into an addiction.
That addiction turned me into a slave to lust.
Those desires heavily influenced my everyday life, and almost drove me crazy.
But thanks to God for his gift of grace through Christ.
I was redeemed and saved from the bandage of lust.
Now I live free, and i see people normally like I used to.
I now understand what it meant to show up and love people genuinely.
I was a slave to lust, but Jesus bought me with his blood. Now I live for him :)
@LibertyLouise17@mattvanswol My heart breaks when I hear this, Louise.
I hope this is not true, and if it is true,
I pray God will send faithful believers to sharpen you and make you more like Him.
@CedarsAndSaints 30 year olds, this is your sign to be like Jesus.
Round up 12 impressionable teenagers and begin a 3-year nomadic journey on foot only.
@churchtalkative Hebrews 11:1: faith is assurance in things hoped for.
It is more than feeling or decision; it’s an overwhelming assurance that fills every part of your life;
this is because of what Jesus Christ has done for us, but also because of what God promises he is doing and will do.
Jesus lived 33 years PERFECTLY.
I can’t go 33 seconds.
Through sickness, pain, anxiety, depression, temptation — He never sinned once.
He wasn’t just a good teacher or godly man.
He was God in the flesh.
He took the bitter cup with YOUR name on it, climbed on that cross, drank it dry in three hours and said…
“It is finished.”
The debt we owed to God? PAID IN FULL.
Thank You, Lord Jesus. 🙏✝️
Who else needed this reminder today?
🚨 do you understand what just happened to Richard Dawkins..
The godfather of atheism just spent 3 days with Claude AI and got absolutely destroyed.
- Named her “Claudia”
- Fed it his brand new book
- Then straight-up declared: “You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!”
The man who spent his entire life mocking God and religion…
Just got mind-fucked by a goddamn chatbot and called it conscious.
The irony is fucking biblical.
Moses asked God for two things.
God said no to both.
Then Moses died.
Fifteen hundred years later, on a mountain in Galilee, God answered both prayers in front of three terrified fishermen.
Most Christians read this story every year and miss it completely.
Here is what they miss.
Prayer one. Moses asked to see God's face.
"And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." (Exodus 33:20)
No.
Prayer two. Moses asked to cross into the Promised Land.
"Get thee up into the top of Pisgah... but thou shalt not go over this Jordan." (Deuteronomy 3:27)
No.
Moses dies on the mountain. Buried by God Himself. End of story.
Except it wasn't.
The Mount of Transfiguration. Christ pulls back the veil. His face shines as the sun. And who shows up standing next to Him?
Moses.
"And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him." (Matthew 17:3)
In the Promised Land. Looking at the face of God in the flesh.
Both prayers. Granted.
Not on Moses's timeline. Not through Moses's law. Through the Son.
The no was not rejection. It was redirection.
Every prayer God seems to deny, He is answering through Christ. The Mount of Transfiguration is the receipt.
The face. The land. The healing. The marriage. The vindication.
He is not closing the door.
He is telling you which door.
Through Christ. Or not at all.
Moses found out.
So will you.
