Looking unto JESUS, the Author and Finisher of our faith
LOOK TO CHRIST, Not Your Obedience! Those who profess to believe on Christ but who do not seek to follow the Lord and honor Him in their lives have an empty and worthless profession. Christ said, "If ye love M e, keep M y commandments." A sinner who has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and brought to genuine faith in the Son of God will seek to "adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things" [ Titus 2:10 ] . Though we know we are sinful in ourselves, yet we do seek to glorify the Lord as we go about our daily activities. However, we must never look to our obedience (which is imperfect at best), in any measure, as the means of acceptance with God. Those who seek God’s approval by any other way than the blood and righteousness of Christ will someday learn they made a fatal mistake. -preacher Jim Byrd http://www.sermonaudio.com/source_detail.asp?sourceid=13thstbaptist
