Chapter 8: An Intimate Gospel
from The Light Point Hosted by Siji Deleawe
When you constantly use your faith- you practice the art of trusting in God- no matter what happens turning to God instead of turning away. You operate on the assumption that what he said is true, that he really does love you and care about you as much as he said, that he really is as good as he said, that his word is the truth that everything else should be compared to. When you take the Gospel into the center of your heart as Tim Keller would say and allow it to drive how you see yourself, God and the world around you then you allow yourself to develop a heart posture that is surrendered to the work the holy spirit begins doing in you the moment you give your life to Christ. This is the when you begin to know Gods love not just with your head but with your heart and you receive it as beautiful. This process doesn’t happen over night but I am a living testimony that it works and that intimate relationship with God will literally transform you from the inside out. Giving your life to Christ saves your soul but doing life with Christ changes your reality on this side of eternity. It transforms your identity so you begin to see yourself how God sees you. It allows you to accomplish great things while still maintaining good character and humility because you know all the glory belongs to God. it gives you an unshakable joy despite all the craziness happening in the world because you know that we all await a future glory but God is still working in the lives of people on earth
