It was God’s will that all the fulness
of His blessings should be found only in Christ. It is in Christ that you have
received grace. And it is in Christ that you are sustained. It’s so important
for us to be reminded of this truth again and again, because we know that in
ourselves we have nothing to commend us to God. In ourselves, we are weak, in
our own power we stumble, in our praise we fall short, and in our faith we
waver. But in our Lord Jesus Christ, we are not lacking in any gift.Christians, God the Father
called you into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, He has worked faith in
your heart, and He has given you the Holy Spirit to unite you to Christ and to seal
you with the promise of the final resurrection and of your ultimate
vindication. Your continued perseverance does not depend on anything found in
you. So when you find yourself sinning and repenting again and again, remember
that God is the one who is faithful to His promises, and He is the one who will
preserve you to the end.
