But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon Thy Name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of Thee: for Thou hast hid Thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. But now, O LORD, Thou art our Father; we are the clay, and Thou our Potter; and we all are the work of Thy hand. (Isaiah 64:6-8)
Like a loving father, GOD has pitied His children and shown mercy to those that deserved punishment. But we who are His must realize our role in obedience and discipleship or sIn will once again rule in our lives as it did before we were saved. Judgment begins at the House of GOD, He chastises His own. As Creator He has the right to do as He wishes with His creation. As redeemer He has paid the sIn price for us, and we owe Him everything. As Judge, Jesus has already condemned sIn, and announced the sentence of death. Apart from Him we are nothing but rebellious, ungrateful, disobedient sinners that trample on the very name we claim. But GOD is merciful and gracious and in the same way that we came to Him in repentance the first time, He calls us to return and repent again. He cannot take sIn casually, He is just and calls it what it is; disobedience and unbelief. Neither should we, but we have an advocate with the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Let all His works praise Him for His mercy, His grace, and His love. If you are not yet a child of GOD, I want you to know that GOD so loves you that even though you don't yet know Him, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to the Cross of Calvary for your sIn. The sIn that separates you from Him, and has already condemned you to death and eternal punishment. But, GOD is not willing that you should perish, but wants you to understand the truth and repent. Surrender to GOD on His terms and be born again to a life of freedom in Christ, Discipleship with Christ, and service for Christ. Believe and receive His free gift of love and you will be saved, to a new and abundant life that will last forever.
Allow yourself to be molded by the Potter today and everyday.
In Christ,
