The defining character of God!

Thought for the day: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. My life is your only hope. Come live with Me.”

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

God is perfect. He is a God of glory, power, and majesty. He alone is righteous and worthy of your praise. There is no one like Him.

God is holy and very protective of His character. He told Moses on Mt. Sinai to take off his sandals because he was standing on holy ground.

God will not become tainted with sin or allow it to come close to Him. He has judged all mankind to be unworthy to come into His presence. No one is without sin. And all have fallen short of the glory of God! You will never have the fullness of the character of God.

You stand separated from God and unworthy to enter into His sanctuary. You are inadequate and lacking in the virtue of God. You were born into the world with a disposition to live for self and reject the ways of God.

This is how God has defined you. He created you in His image but you cannot live with Him because you were born as a slave to sin.

God loves you and wants you to be in relationship with Him. This can only be accomplished through Jesus, the Son of God. Jesus died for all sin. His blood will cleanse you from all sin and restore you to God. There is no other way.

Jesus can transform you from your sinful state into an incorruptible man or woman of God. He does this by pouring His blood over you and refining you with His character through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Develop a discipline of seeking God out regularly for repentance from sins and correction of anything in your life that is not of Him. This pleases God greatly and allows the fullness of His Spirit to dwell in you.
