We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Becoming mature Christians will require the sovereign work of God. Only God can save and sanctify. Still, God uses men and means. Certainly we as parents must seek to bring our children to Jesus Christ for salvation. But salvation is not the end of the journey. It is only the beginning. The destination toward which we are headed with our children is nothing less than maturity in Christ.
Wayne Mack

The law of God had a definite function in the history of redemption. It still has a function, but it is not the same function as it had in Israel’s experience. The law that worked wrath in Israel’s conscience has been fully silenced and does not work, in any sense, either wrath or blessing in the Christian. The law of God can neither curse nor bless a Christian. It cannot curse a Christian because Christ has endured every curse the law threatened, and it cannot bless a Christian because even with a new heart, the child of God cannot earn the blessing that is the reward for perfect obedience. However, just as Christ endured every curse the law threatened, he also earned every blessing the law promised. If you read the law and feel guilt and despair, you do not understand justification, and if you read the law and feel good about your progress in sanctification, you are a deceived, self-righteous hypocrite.

    CONFESSION 7

    PROTECTION

    The Lord has given His angels charge over me and they keep me in all my ways. The angel of the Lord encamps around me and delivers me from harm because I trust in the Lord. As they ministered to the Lord while He was upon earth, so they minister to me because I am a joint-heir with Christ. His angels listen to His Word and they listen to me because I voice His Word. As it is written, they are ministers of God to them who favor Him. Since I favor the Lord and because I am an heir of God’s salvation, His angels minister to me. They are flames of fire and greater in strength than men. The Lord Jesus is at the right hand of the Father; angels, powers, and authorities being subject to Him. I am a joint-heir of that power and authority.
