I have seen countless numbers of Christians in the six years of my ministry that God has given me that seem to live below their Spiritual potential. Through personal encounters, e-mails through the website, letters, or phone calls, men and women share their hearts with me about the fact that something is missing in their walk with Christ. I hear questions like; Why do I keep failing when I try so hard? Why can't I stop this destructive habit? Is church all there is to the Spiritual life?
These and hundreds of others give me an idea that there are an abundant number of God's people who see themselves as failures.
The Word of God says that in order for you and I to move on in Spiritual maturity and overcome destructive tendencies or deadness in our walk for Christ, then we must see ourselves as Christ sees us. This list will show you how Christ sees you; IN HIM! Then, after you meditate on them for a while, praise him for showing you afresh what His sacrifice did for you! Check it out and be blessed.
