From the Sermon this week

The Gospel Coalition is an organization of gospel minded church leaders across the globe. This is a tweet from their Twitter account from today that stuck me as I prepared for the message this week. "The gospel doesn’t just make you right with God, it frees you to delight in Him."

Works based justification makes you pay attention to who you are and what you have done and honest evaluation of this always makes you feel the weight of your inadequacies. Faith based justification puts the work on Jesus and what he has already finished and always leaves us filled.

This all reminds me of a verse that I am struck with lately (Genesis 2:25). I long to be so Christ focused that I am naked and unashamed.
