It is not in the Doing but the Knowing

My Utmost For His Highest

 

‘Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us— He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.’ CHAMBERS

 

Do not imagine that you can live this new life .. through determination.  You will only be successful if you are willing to lay your life down .. surrender to Jesus.  I am not referring to the day you were saved.  I am talking about the days after when you believe you are walking with Jesus, when you are actually trying to walk like Jesus.  You can be in  mental agreement with the Bible but be floundering in your faith.  The reason is that you believe that you can be righteous  by yourself .. you believe that you can be like Jesus without Jesus … just by your determination to do it.

 

So it is not in the knowing but in the doing .. and there is no doing without knowing (Jesus).  In John 14:6 Jesus said that He is the way, truth and life … that is not just about the point of salvation … but in the new life we live.

 

Galatians 2:20  “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

 

We must live by faith in Jesus and not faith in ourselves.  In Jesus the Bible means life as God intended … on our own .. it is nothing more than a burden.

 

“Jesus Your name is power, Jesus, Your name is might. Jesus, Your name will break every stronghold. Jesus, Your name is life.

Jesus, Your name is healing, Jesus, Your name gives sight. Jesus, You name will free every captive. Jesus, Your name is life.

Jesus, Your name is holy, Jesus, Your name brings light. Jesus, Your name above every other. Jesus, Your name is life.” Maranatha Music
