Acknowledging

I will never experience the penalty of eternal death and separation from God. Today I can live in confidence and security!

The key to spiritual life is surrender. I must always relent to the Spirit for the resources and strength to please God.

Acknowledge the battle. That’s the first step in the spiritual growth process called sanctification.

My relationship with God is secure, and my final home is in heaven, but I am not there yet. The penalty of sin is gone, but the propensity to sin remains.

Therein lays the battle—the struggle of knowing what I am supposed to do and not wanting to do it.
