Galatians 5:6 NKJV
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
Galatians 5:6 NKJV
In order to live the life Jesus purchased for us, we need to live by faith manifesting the characteristic of God who is love.
This means that we must put our trust in Jesus and all that He has done for us. We must not put our trust in any human effort or anything that is of the flesh.
Any form of works that we do in order to attain spirituality will avail to nothing. Paul who is a circumcised Jew says that he counts all of his achievements as dung.
The only way to attain spirituality and be holy and accepted before God is to believe and receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.
The reason we can have this spirituality and be at peace with God is because God loves us.
God has translated us from a fleshy being " first Adam" to a spirit being " second Adam".
So NOW choose to live in God and through God by faith.
It would be a dishonour to Jesus our Lord for us to work toward justifying ourselves by our works.
A sinner can never justify that he is righteous no matter what he does because there is no righteousness in him for him to work his way out.
This is the reason Jesus who is righteous came to do for mankind what mankind could never do for themselves, that is to be righteous.
This is what we believe by faith that God who loves us, came to restore us to Him as His children.
Love is of God and God is love. The characteristic of God is love and it flows from within us because God resides in us.
It is time to build our life by faith in Christ, working and activating all the gifts and blessings that God Almighty has put in us.
Blessings
