“Abraham believed God and He credited it to him as righteousness.” Genesis 15:6
Good morning, the word from God today is “naivety” which is a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment. This refers to understanding the nature God and how to identify with Him.
God wants you and I to be vigilant in our faith in Christ. This requires the end of “play acting” and adopting the reality of a living faith. Abraham walked by faith believing every word spoken to Him by God.
The Bible teaches us to lean not to our own understanding but to seek the wisdom and knowledge of God.
The naivety in the Body is a lack of insight into the purposes of Christ. The purposes have little or nothing to do with laws or religion.
To grasp this concept, there has to be a witness from the Living Christ touching the depth of your heart that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
This is the premise of life for a believer. And, you can never overcome this condition. Sin lives within you!
The challenge becomes how to deal with this predicament? The blood of Christ will cover your sins and begin the process of building the character of God inside you. However, your inner nature never goes away.
God has no ego but you and I are self driven people—regardless of who you are, your status in life, or your perceived righteousness.
There is only one way to overcome this failure to identify with God. The principle of faith in Christ has to come alive in the depth of your heart and become your priority and essence for life.
This is the reality of Christ. “My help comes from the Lord who created the heavens and the earth.” This has to be the reason for your existence. Nothing else matters. Forget about keeping laws or religious activities. They have little or no value in developing a closeness with God.
Without faith you cannot please God! Your faith in Christ will make you whole and open the kingdom of God to your eyes.
The righteous shall live by faith!
