He knows best, because He is God, our Father, our Comforter and our Saviour.

The Old and the New...  The Previous and the Future Perfect!

Have you heard this quote before? “The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.”

I have said many times before, you cannot comprehend grace, if you do understand the law. You cannot grasp God’s undeserved mercy, if you do not see the law for what it is – a pointer to the ultimate sacrifice Jesus would become.

The law also pointed out our sins and showed that no one is good, no one can please God and that He does not require sacrifice, other than us, dying to self. The only way we can bring God the glory He deserves is through faith in Jesus, when becoming a new creation.

Living a life of worship, loving Him above all else and our neighbour as ourselves. Seeking Him with our whole being. Longing after fellowship with Him and doing His perfect will. Jesus gave us life through His blood sacrifice, for else, we would have certainly perished.

The Lord deserves to be glorified. He is the Creator, Sustainer, and bought us with His blood and set us free from the bondage of sin, that we may live a life in His presence, filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.
