“So, let’s do it — full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word.” Hebrews 10:22-23 The Message

Is there another way…?

You are made in His image. There is no other way to live free in the love of God … learning to love the life that Christ is living in you … and living In His Grip of grace … than living out of the always dependable … completely dependable … absolutely dependable promises of God. He always keeps his word. It is a sin-cleansing promise … a clean-slate promise … and a never giving up promise. Your mission is part of his spiritual adventure in you. God … The Father .. has shared the life of his Son for you to be cleaned out on the inside … loved on the inside … and made presentable inside and out. These are  very often the places where you get stuck in trusting Jesus to be enough for your life. He is the One who makes you presentable. He is the One who keeps His word in you … He is the One who “never gives up on you.” This is why you can go on with your life today. Jesus is not letting go of you. He got you started. He will see it through. It only takes a moment to firm up your grip and remember to never give up or forget Who He is. “So let’s do it..” 

“God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you. Never forget that.” 1 Corinthians 1:9 The Message
