"Beyond A Reasonable Doubt"

 "For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;" (Hebrews 7:26 KJV)

  "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, through Christ. And God has given us the task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak through Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!" For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sins, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NLT)

 With all the changes in our lives, we sometimes get distracted by the struggles and the trials that come and go; in the end of them, we almost always feel relief and sometimes let ourselves relax into this life, whatever life we are living on this earth. It really doesn't matter you if are part of a ministry or not; because all of us that belong to Christ are technically in the ministry, in one form or another. 

 Whether or not you feel called into this New Life, you were chosen to for a certain reason; nothing that God does is for waste or for failure. Even the things that are seemingly wrong or foolish, God can use them for good and mighty works; for all He does is for that which will complete His beautiful masterpiece; just you wait and see.

 As we look at this Scripture, there is something I see there that is no doubt hard to explain, because it is something we seemingly always forget: We have been made into the image of Christ! No longer are we the person we thought or think we once were, we are a new creation, made pure and undefiled; totally set apart from sinners, because the blood of Christ has made us white as snow! 

 Somehow, sometimes, we are easily deceived or distracted, whether it is from being focused on earthly things, or being caught up in sin; whatever it is that has changed us, we still are the property of Christ Jesus! Not that I am trying to paint something that cannot be proven, because I truly believe that we all still are able to sin; and as long as we live in these earthly bodies, we will continue to sin from time to time. If we don't think we are capable of sinning, we are only fooling ourselves and will find ourselves in a world of hurt! 

 All of that said, I truly believe that the more we focus upon doing what God tells us to do, the more we discover how believable the Bible really is...

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding." (Ephesians 1:3-8 NLT)
