Topic: Love, Acceptance And Forgiveness 21 - Are You Accepted 2

Text: Ephesians 4:29-30  

"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."

Reflection: 

Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional.

If we could truly get hold of, really understand, that we are accepted, adopted, blameless, chosen, forgiven, predestined, and sealed by God’s Holy Spirit on the basis of Christ’s atoning work, we would be so busy praising God all the day long that we would find no opportunity for petty differences. God was satisfied by Christ for sin, Jesus died because I deserved to die. Jesus took my place and died for me. Scripture says that He actually became us: "He who knew no sin, was made sin for us," (2 Corinthians 5:21), something far more than simply becoming a substitute, He took my sins upon Himself and God put Him to death, because that is what I deserve.

Jesus took my place and paid the full price, and therefore I am free. God fully accepts me. There is nothing ever to hinder Him in the least degree. I can look my guilt in the face and acknowledge it, admit my state, point to the Cross, and say, "The Cross has settled it. I am no longer what I once was because of that." And God treats me in that way.

Jesus said: "All those who are with me gather, and all those who are against me scatter," (Matthew 12:30, Luke 11:23). You can tell whose side you are on by the effect of your life. 

Are you gathering, or scattering? Are you dividing, or do you bring unity? Are you healing, or hurting? Are you bringing together, or breaking up? Do you gossip, slander, and bicker against authority? Which is the direction of your life? What would others say? God’s plan is to heal and make whole. Whose kingdom do you serve? Your words and actions reveal your true heart.

We may be able to hide our hearts to some degree, but what comes out of our mouths is a sure indication of what our hearts are truly like. To some extent we may be able to control what comes out of our mouths, but eventually, what is in our hearts will be revealed. We cannot solve our heart problem just by cleaning up what we say.

Prayer: 

Father, from this day onward let my heart and action reveal your true love for me in Jesus Name 🙇🏽‍♂️
