100%, Now +1, +1, +1 Unto the Full Stature of Christ
Yes, we are human. If we’re Delivered and Washed by abandonment to Jesus the King, and therefore have His Spirit in us now, we are no longer just mammal DNA. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of changing to do, still. Becoming a little more like Jesus’ character every day (+1, +1, +1) is what happens in an Ecosystem of Life Together, that can happen nowhere else, apart from being zapped with Miracles. His PLAN is an Ecosystem. But growth is not how we get Saved. We already got our 100%, all A’s on the Father’s willingness to let us be with Him forever, if we are sold out to Jesus, forsaking our very life. We aren’t “earning” Father’s perfect love, because if we give our lives and decisions and desires to Him and truly take up our cross too, we have put on Jesus-Clothes, by Faith in His Blood, and His Loving Path for us. It is finished. And now, when your insides are screaming or crying, when you’re coming apart in whatever kind of pain you experience… you can call on the Name of the Lord, and still put Jesus and others first. You don’t have to be a brat or fall apart anymore. Grow. In an Ecosystem we all help each other Be, not just think we “know” some stuff. That is the wrong Tree in the Garden again. You know for sure Jesus showed us how to be “among us” and how to respond under pressure and still be looking into the eyes of those around us and feeling their obstacles. We need to be that for Him, also.
