I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

Romans 8:38-39 (Message)

 

There is nothing incomplete in our relationship with God. There is nothing we can do to make things right with God. There is nothing we can add or do to ensure the efficacy of Christ's perfect and finished work.

Once we are in Christ, we can inherit and enjoy the same relationship that Jesus had with His Father. Yet, often than not, many believers are told to get right with God by their efforts rather than to believe Jesus has already made us acceptable, justified and righteous to God. This makes God more distant and less approachable. Somehow, there is always a feeling of uneasiness and self-condemnation because they are not receiving the grace that God constantly provides them.

Why would such believers behave and feel this way?

It is because they were reared in a religious spirit that hides the gospel. They are taught to believe that they are orphans standing outside the gates, rather than sons and daughters seated at the banqueting table of the King.

You have the fullness of the Godhead in Christ. This implies you always have access to God. What an awesome blessing! There is no need for you to work hard to reach God because you and God are inseparably connected. Be fully persuaded of Christ's power to save you and keep your relationship with God vital and vibrant. You will grow a deeper love for God as you learn more about God's love for you.

Walking in the revelation of God's perfect love allows you to live courageously and faithfully, regardless of the circumstances.
