I love the Apostle Paul. He describes how we are to live the Christian life very well. He is passionate about telling us that God loves us no matter what. God's love for you is not dependent on anything you can do. So when we fall short we can rest assured that God still loves us.
But Paul is also clear that it isn't about not doing the right thing or giving up because we know God will still love us. In fact he talks about pressing on and forgetting our past. Each day is a new day to be like Christ. We are also told that we have the power of Christ in us as Christians who is there to help us do the right thing.
You cannot have faith without works they are always linked. But as Paul is clear about faith comes before works and works are a result of our faith. In fact the closer we get to Christ the more we are in His presence receiving His love the more we hunger for the things of Him.
One thing I'm learning in this 90 day challenge is that the more time I spend with God the more I am hungering for the things of Him.
