Reverence and Awe

» Today's reading at Blue Letter Bible


How I need these reminders of who I am and where I stand in Christ. Spurgeon emphasizes the utter perfection that God sees when admiring the church. As one considers who they are and the battle that rages in their hearts and minds this devotion should take on a special meaning.

True perfection is something that I think is beyond our limited capacity to even comprehend; we throw the word about with reckless abandon calling things perfect that, in reality, are riddled with imperfection.

God however, being the true standard for perfection, knows it when He sees it; He views the church without fault. When Jesus died on the cross, each one of us who believe in Him died with Him. Our sins were laid upon His head and now we have Christ's perfection laid on us.

I pray that your love for Him increases as you consider what Christ has done for you throughout the day.
