I grew up in a religious environment where holiness was reserved for those “hindi makabasag pinggan”. • “Conduct” was part of the grading system in elementary so I strived to stay off the “noisy list” they write on blackboards. • External behavior was everything. • …until I grew up and my heart was revealed. • Numbers 32:22-23 says that your hidden sin will “find you out and track you down”. • I was at my lowest when I finally understood why it was called the “gospel” or “the good news” • I knew the gospel in my head but it didn’t sink down into my heart (and I have to admit there are still days I struggle with its truths) • My muscle memory is still on focused on external behavior. The religious spirit still tells me to “do this, don’t do that, clean yourself by your own good deeds”. • But here comes Jesus presenting a totally different perspective. He says “come to me, I will be the one to clean you.” • 1 John 1:9 • If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. • Matthew 26:28 • For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. • Ephesians 2:8-9 • For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. • And it’s true. I observed in my life (the past 2 years) that the moment I stopped focusing on the religious “to do list” and just spend time loving and worshipping God, • I actually become more fruitful. (Loving, more joy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled). Still far from perfect. But slowly and surely improving. • So just spend time with Him, He is real. He talks back in your spirit. He will instruct you on the way that you should go. He is a friend. His words are alive. • Our only responsibility is to repent. He’s in charge of the “changing you” part. • “What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.” • (Special thanks to @amarancreators for our lights)
