“A theological term for the development of Christ-likeness, or Christ likeness, is both an instant step of faith and a gradual process of works.”
There is a common error that we think about ourselves and God.
Every single person on the planet has skeletons in their closet.
These skeletons are ever present in our minds and they convince us eventually that these skeletons may define us for who we are.
WHICH IS DEAD WRONG.
We are made in God’s image and too many times unfortunately we don’t consult God on these type of matters, but we should, because He defines who we are. He knows everything we have done, and everything we will do in our lives. We think that God obviously should think the same about us. That our sins and mistakes define us.
But He doesn’t.
One of the most amazing things about God is that HE MEETS YOU where you are, and HE ACCEPTS YOU for who you are.
When we accept God as our Lord and Savior we have but to take one step of faith in Him. We think that we have to fix ourselves before we do this, but its just one step and then God takes us on a journey of love and transforms our lives into something so much more.
There is no one that is like God
No one knows you like God does.
No one looks at you like God does.
You are worthy. Why?
Because God sent his Son to prove you are.
