Elke nou en dan sal ek aan iemand wat sê hulle wil 'n Christen te word praat, maar dit lyk asof hulle om te dink die tyd is nie heeltemal reg. Toe ek hulle vra waarom, Hulle het my vertel oor al hulle sondes, al hul tekortkominge, en al die deurmekaar dinge wat hulle gedoen het in die verlede. Ek het nog nooit argumenteer met hulle oor hulle sondes, maar ek druk terug op hul aannames.
Hulle is die veronderstelling dat sonde of ander manier diskwalifiseer jy uit kom na Christus, wanneer presies die teenoorgestelde is waar. Om 'n sondaar nie vir ons daarvan weerhou Christus; dis die rede waarom ons Hom nodig het. As ons wag totdat ons sien perfekte Hom omhels ons sal vir ewig wag.
In een van my gunsteling aanhalings, Charles Spurgeon dring ons om te stop op soek na onsself, en om te begin soek na Jesus. Hy sê:
"Die! Jy sê, "Ek weet nie genoeg berou." Dit is op soek na jouself. "Ek weet nie genoeg glo." Dit is op soek na jouself. "Ek is te onwaardig." Dit is op soek na jouself. "Ek kan nie ontdek,"Sê 'n ander, 'Dat ek enige geregtigheid. "Dit is heeltemal reg om te sê dat jy nie enige geregtigheid; maar dit is heeltemal verkeerd om te kyk vir 'n. dit is, ‘Look unto me.’ God will have you turn your eye off yourself and look unto him.”
Geregtigheid is nie wat ons nodig het om Christus te kom; Dit is wat ons kry wanneer ons na Christus toe kom. Aan die kruis, Jesus het die straf wat ons verdien vir die sondige lewens wat ons het. En wanneer ons ons geloof in Hom, ons die beloning vir die volmaakte lewe Jesus geleef ontvang. Is dit nie verstommend?
Dit is waar dat ons nie regverdig genoeg, Maar die geregtigheid wat ons nodig het is in Hom gevind. Geen, Ons kan onsself nie vergewe, maar die vergifnis wat ons nodig het is in Hom gevind. Ons kan nie net ons lewens begin oor, maar die nuwe lewe wat ons nodig het is in Hom gevind. Alles wat ons nodig het is gevind in Christus! So waarvoor wag jy nog vir? Kyk na Hom nou.
This definitely blessed me even in walking out my faith. Can’t be reminded of that enough. Keep up the Ministry Trip!
This could not be more true. Jesus died so the lost could be found. Not for the found to be perfect. No one is but him!

Ek kon nie eens meer. This is a problem people have when they first get to know Christ, but I tell them of the perfect example for this: Paul. A man who was doing one of the worst things on this earth, and he turned into one of the greatest disciples ever. This should show you how powerful God is, and that you don’t need to be perfect to be a Chrsitian.

Am all the way in Zambia,Africa and your blogs really minister to me I thank God for the good work He is doing through you. For some time this was me till I understood that even in all my sin and brokeness God still saw me as His child and could still love me…
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor 5:21
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that he became Man so that he could receive our sins, sickness, diseases, sorrows, weaknesses and pain by faith. As a spirit of God, he could not have taken this curse upon himself because he was sinless. God poured out his wrath upon him when he had forsaken him at the cross. He took it all and died and went to hell for us! This is the LOVE of God! He paid our debt! And by his faith, he was raised up! THEREFORE, because He delivered me from the curse, because God so loved me, I declare that I AM the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD! No devil in hell will ever confuse me and tell me that I’m not good enough. No way! God SO LOVED THE WORLD that he GAVE his ONLY begotten SON, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE!
