It

It

2 Corinthians 4:5-7    For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

It ain’t about you.
It is all about Him.
It is the power over sin.
It is what you cannot accomplish.
It is what He did accomplish.
It is the perfect sacrifice.
It is an Atonement.
It is your bail money to get out of Hell.
It is the Light in a very dark world.
It is a free gift from God.
It is the grace of God.
It is the mercy of God.
It is unimaginable sacrifice.
It is the answer to the Law.
It is what you can never attain through the Law.
It is being elected by God.
It is that tug that you feel from deep within.
It is how you respond when you feel that tug.
It is from an eternal well from which you will never thirst again.
It quenches the fire from which the lost only want a drop to cool their tongue.
It requires humble repentance, not works based penance.
It makes you go against what the world teaches.
It teaches selflessness and sacrifice, not pride.
It makes you a new person on the inside, for those on the outside to see.
It readjusts your priorities in life.
It makes you see what truly matters in life.
It makes you want to share what you have with everyone.
It presses you to a life of service to the One whom gave you life.
It will give you a hope that the world does not have.
It will give you a hope the world cannot steal away.
It will keep you “up”, when the world tries to knock you “down”.
It is an endless list of what it can do in your life that you nor nothing else can ever do.
It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It…..is eternal.
