How you can be assured of the defense of Christ?

This narrative is about taking God seriously.

God is holy and perfect. There is no one like Him.

God hates sin and has provided a way to be restored to Him through Jesus.

It is impossible to get away from the judgment of God. Your relationship with God is defined by sin.

The Christ follower is subject to the intense scrutiny of God. He tests your heart and mind looking for the upright believer.

King David realized if he wanted the defense of God he must live in the integrity of God. Here are the words David lived by:

Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me. Psalm 7:8

This is a bold and intimidating statement spoken to God.

Are you willing to give God permission to judge all your thoughts and actions? God is not looking for perfection. He is looking for a believer with a repentant heart and open to the conviction and correction of God.

No one can match up to the standards of God. This is because you and I are self driven people living in a corrupt world. God has no ego and is perfect without sin.

Salvation is the pathway to becoming like God. Jesus seals you with the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ. He will transform you into the character of God. This is why it is so important to be anchored to the Holy Spirit and hearing His voice.

The security of Christ comes to those who walk in oneness with God with a humble and submissive heart to Jesus.
