“Shoot for Perfect, Walk in Grace”
Jesus always pointed to the ideal – how people should live. Yet He never condemned those who fell short of it. He never lowered the bar or made excuses for sin. Rather, He called people to holiness. He pressed them to repent with the urgency of a compassionate God, so that they would know the freedom of redemptive grace.
His forgiveness of the woman caught in adultery is absolute, yet His charge is insistent: “Go and sin no more.” Your life may look totally different from hers, but living out your gratitude for God’s lavish grace by loving and honoring Him – it’s what will change you too, and change the world. Because changing the world depends on a commitment to obedience that demands truth and courage.
What needs to be done (truth) needs to be done (courage) and the doing is beautiful obedience. You need to be brave to lean hard into truth, but it will set you free to live fully – in the kitchen or the car or the boardroom or the bedroom. And you – living fully, free, forgiven – that’s where change begins.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Have you accepted God’s gift of total forgiveness?
PRAYER: Jesus, thank You for setting me free. Strengthen me to use my freedom to glorify You before a watching world. Amen.
