I love watching the Lord change people from the inside out. It is such a great joy to humbly watch as the Lord works in the lives of those who love Him and respond to a work that can only be completed by a perfect, holy and sovereign God. Looking a little deeper we might wonder how do people change, how do we as believers in Jesus Christ become more like Him. Is it by doing good things, is it by giving a certain amount of money, is it by how involved I am at church? Well, I could be the king at each one the fore mentioned and not be more like Christ. (Galatians 3:3) What I see transforming the lives in those around me is the grace of God, it truly is his love, sacrifice and sovereignty that regenerates and continues changing the lives of those who believe.
"But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:20-21
May we look to the power of the cross to see His truly amazing grace and be humbled to the point where we commit ourselves to share in his everlasting love.
