Redeemed Oh How I Love To Proclaim It

My Utmost For His Highest
 
Our calling is not primarily to be holy men and women, but to be proclaimers of the gospel of God. The one all-important thing is that the gospel of God should be recognized as the abiding reality. Reality is not human goodness, or holiness, or heaven, or hellit is redemption. The need to perceive this is the most vital need of the Christian worker today. As workers, we have to get used to the revelation that redemption is the only reality. Personal holiness is an effect of redemption, not the cause of it. If we place our faith in human goodness we will go under when testing comes.’  CHAMBERS
 
Do you see redemption as the most significant aspect of your life?  Those who are lost .. without Christ live an illusion.  The illusion is that even if there is life after death … it does not depend upon Jesus.  But the truth is that the only reality is redemption.  That we have been redeemed through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus.  That we have entered into reality and are no longer living in a dreamland.  Once we were living as if there was no tomorrow .. Now we are living as if we will live for all eternity … because we will …
 
Our responsibility is to live and walk in the Light and not be conformed to the world. Romans 12:2.  We should not only live in a way that gives testimony to our faith and redemption in Jesus, but we must tell others.
