What God needs us to repent from.

The number one thing God needs us to repent from is self effort. Self effort are the dead works that we should repent from -Hebrews 6:1, 9:14, 10:1-4. They frustrate the grace of God at best. The blood of Jesus came to cleanse our consciences from the need of dead works, that by the work of Christ, through the blood of Christ, we might serve the living God!- Hebrews 9:14. We must understand the modus operandi of the Christian life to live it effectively. Galatians 2:20, ' I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.' The Christian life is Christ, living, loving and operating in a man and through that man. What energizes this is our faith, our utter dependence on him. We must be  confident that Christ alone  is able to save us to the uttermost- Hebrews 7:25. He doesn't start the process for us to complete it by our goodness. It must be him and him alone! He is author and finisher of our faith- Hebrews 12:2. When we understand this, we come into a place of effectual rest in him! He lives out his holiness through us, we don't try of ourselves to be! He is holy and therefore we are. As we meditate on this, it becomes real to our senses and we will walk consistently with this truth and find the ease and rest the master promised! #TheVision #Pleroma
