As a follower of Jesus, the blessings of God actually chase you down and overtake you.
Many Christians don't believe this truth. They see in Scripture where God made many of the Old Testament promises of blessing conditional on obeying Him and fulfilling the law. They look at all the times in their lives where they know they missed what God said to do, and think that disqualifies them from receiving God's blessing.
However, Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly on our behalf because we are now “in Christ.” That means that we are indeed entitled to receive all of those promises because Jesus kept the law perfectly, we're in Him, and it’s as though we kept the law ourselves. Jesus met God's conditions of obedience for us. Now we receive the blessings of God through faith in what Jesus did on our behalf instead of through our own right behavior.
Renew your mind to this truth. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. When you believe what He did in your life, and act on that belief in faith, you will see those blessings of God that you thought were out of reach begin to simply appear in your life, in unexpected ways and at unexpected times. | ||
