Is it a must for Christians to strive for high standards? Is it a must for Christians to strive for excellence? Does God demand high standards? Does God demand excellence? Will God just care and accept us the way we are?
Beloved one,
Are you sure by accepting the way you are, that God care ?
So if you die as you are, — then you perceive God care, for you remain spiritually dead ; and that if God gave you eternal life through Christ, you perceive God didn’t care.
So next time if you are sick, you perceive God care, for you remain as you are, that you are sick; if God heals you, you perceive God didn’t care for you, for not allowing to remain sick as you are.
So if you are hurt by someone, you perceive God care for you, for you remain hurt always; if God heal the wounds in your heart, you perceive God didn’t care that you wanted to remain hurt as you are.
So all you considered it to be blessings to remain as you are, and you refuse to believe what God care you as who you are in Christ Jesus, His Son.
Beloved one, why you are troubled by high standards and excellence ? Who told the standards and excellence is high that you can’t reach ?
For we heard :
“
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.”
Hebrews 10:14 NKJV
Beloved one, believe that you are the one who also has been perfected forever if you are the one who are being sanctified.
So these high standards of perfection and excellence, have been achieved by the Lord Jesus Christ,— if you are willing to give yourself to be sanctified, this grace of God is yours. Then you will live as who you are in Christ Jesus.
May God’s peace be with you.
To God be all glory, honor, power and praise through Christ. Amen.
