My friend how is it in your lifetime that you think you treat God’s gracious gift upon your life?
Of course His mercies are new each morning but do you reckon that we ought to take advantage of God’s fresh mercies each morning for us to live anyhow? Far be it so my brothers nd sisters; let us not treat God’s gracious gift with such contempt for we were bought with a price of the precious pure blood of Jesus Christ!
If we are to learn, then let us learn and emulate the best there is: Galatians 2:20-21
I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
[Therefore, I do not treat God’s gracious gift as something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose]; I do not set aside and invalidate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor) of God. For if justification (righteousness, acquittal from guilt) comes through [observing the ritual of] the Law, then Christ (the Messiah) died groundlessly and to no purpose and in vain. [His death was then wholly superfluous.]
The best way to see and measure if you not treating such a gift of unmerited favour with contempt is by how you weigh on your own heart and actions to see if your way of life is pleasing and acceptable before our Heavenly Father.
Be your own judge -upon yourself!
Yes, the ball is in your court, who is it that is living; Christ or yourself?
