We only think we can't understand Christ because of a lack of knowledge, and we only assume another can understand because he knows more than we do!   source

Living as heirs in this world

Posted June 2, 2012 - 7:52am

As God opened my eyes to the simple reality of freedom in Christ, I lost my fear of those verses that seemed to contradict grace in Christ. For the same basic reality was repeated in many different letters in many different ways. The truth is that we who are heirs in Christ will always be persecuted by those with no inheritance, and we must be warned that those who live by the fleshly mind with their fleshly ways will continually appeal to us by that which seems righteous. That's what causes us to get sucked in when we try to play their game by their rules ... and we think we're supposed to be able to do that.

knowing that we are New Creations and fellow heirs together in Christ are such wonderful and encouraging things to speak about with one another. sadly, far too little of such things are discussed in today's Christianity. i am sooo thankful and so encouraged to read about it and listen about it here at theshovel.net, at the shovel-shack and on the shovelaudios! :)

thank you for that! :)
