LET GOD DO THE WORK

Heb 8:6-13- ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: ¹¹ and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. ¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. ¹³ In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away

Facts

1.             When called us to grace it doesn't mean we are lawless. No. He has given us a new law, the Law of liberty to do things for him.

2.            He will write his will in our hearts and lead us himself. 

3.            Faith is easy to express when you know the person you're expressing already loves you.

4.            Love has already given you everything so learn to take and stop struggling. You need to feed on God's love for you. God’s love is irreversible, irrevocable and unconditional. Even when you have missed it and gone the wrong way, he forever loves you and is waiting for you to come back into his hands.

5.            Heb 8:10- “He will be our God”. Don't write yourself off. God has promised He is your God and He will be your God.

6.            When Jesus said it is finished, he finished it; the only thing we have to do is rest. Everything has been done and concluded. So you can't add to it. The only thing to do is thank God for it. 

7.            You are my God and you shall be my people- We are his jewel. He would protect and jealously guard you from pestilence and all challenges. You must know that even if you were the only one in this world, he would have still died on the cross for your sake.

8.           Heb 8:12- All of these things will happen when you accept Jesus into your life. Then your past, present and future sins are forgiven. It will never happen that he would remember your sins. This means the price is permanently paid.
