Reconciling
My Differences
...We also rejoice and exultingly glory in God [in His love
and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now
received and enjoy [our] reconciliation. Romans 5:11
Many times we, as
humanly possible, go through life without any restoration and adjustments to
make matters beter. We become bogged down with matters, making each day more
difficult to handle. Frustrations hammer at the souls of plenty, cause a
horrible relapse of constant anger, termoil, and anguish.
Reconciling
differences within one's self can revitalize brighter days and better ways of
living. "Atonement" is the reconciliation, exchange, adjustment and
restoration of divine favor.
How shall I reconcile
my differences within myself and with God?
Only with God
through the Lord Jesus Christ shall we:
- be justified by faith
- have peace
- have access by faith into grace
- rejoice in hope
- glory in tribulations
- endure with patience
- develop maturity of character through experiences
- produce a habit of joy and confidence in the hope of salvation now and forevermore.
The ultimate and
ideal hope neither disappoints nor shames. The believer trusts in God's love
(Christ's (the Messiah, the Annointed One) life, death, and resurrection). The
Lord has saturated his heart through the gift of the Holy Spirit that has been
given to him.
Receive and enjoy
the reconciliation that God has given in His love and perfection. "...Let him who glories glory in this:
that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly
discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices
loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things
I delight, says the Lord." Jeremiah 9:24
"But all things
are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us
into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry
of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into
harmony with Him]. It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and
restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against
[men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message
of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor)." 2 Corinthians 5:18-19
Make the change. Make
an adjustment to life where the Lord is Supreme. Exchange for a restoration to
the divine favor.
Romans 5:1-11
Jeremiah 9:24
2Corinthians 5:18-19
