The values of Christ!

“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.” Romans 3:10-11

The word from God today is compunction which is a feeling of guilt over the failure of a moral scruple.

This feeling plagues all of us at times in our lives. And, God speaks through our memories of the past to remind us of our weaknesses and compulsive behaviors.

The values of Christ are the antithesis of the values of man. We all have an inner nature which is rebellious against God and a disposition to satisfy self. This condition will never go away while living on earth.

You cannot find the values of Christ through your intellect, doing good works, or keeping laws. Self effort will always fail God. And, religion will sidetrack you from walking with the Living Christ. 

The feeling of compunction is characterized by guilt and remorse for failing God. At times, we all give in to the desires of the flesh and this leads to moral decay.

How can we overcome this barrier to live with the values of Christ?

The unconditional love of Jesus and the blood of the Cross is the beginning to finding the values of Christ. There is no other way.

Come to Jesus as an incomplete and broken human being and He will make you whole. You have to come with humility admitting you fail God many times and are powerless to live in the holiness of Christ.

The decision for Christ comes first and then is followed by a journey of faith believing in the promises of God. 

Jesus isn’t looking for perfection; you can never come close to meeting the standards of God. 

Jesus is looking for those who want to live with Him by faith seeking His will for their lives. 

The transition into a new creature in Christ Jesus happens through work of the Holy Spirit dwelling in all believers. The Holy Spirit is the life of Christ. He teaches you the values of Christ and transforms you into the character of Jesus.

Commit your works each day to God and invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. This will bring the reality of the Living Christ into your life. You will see God for who He is!

Several years ago God honored me with the privilege to be in His presence. I witnessed His greatness and power. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. I can personally testify there is no one like Jesus!

He lives so you can live!
