A rather tricky mind of mine!!

Take care lest you fall into the error so common among anxious souls of making a savior of the “frames” of your own mind. Your own experience is delightful, but it is a poor substitute for Christ. The most elevated state of mind cannot prove a savior. It is upon Jesus bleeding, dying, atoning for sin, and suffering under the dreadful stroke of the sword of God’s justice, that your eye must be fixed; and if so, you will feel that “peace that passeth all understanding” keeping your heart and mind, and “joy unspeakable and full of glory” will spring up within your soul. [Jonah 2:9, Rom. 5:11, Phili. 4:7, 1 Pet. 1:8]
William Reid


Having not been here in a while - busyness or is it business? I decide to share  this quote which has been a greater reminder of where I should always stand...not on my performance, not on my "beautiful" feelings. not on the frames of my mind, not on my " own righteousness" ...Christian friends never forget this freeing reality !

In Christ and in HIM alone!

Just one more thing...

What God did
Jesus is an all-sufficient Savior; and He is able and willing to save the very chief of sinners. His work of redemption is finished, as the Scriptures show. [Redemption is the payment of a price that is due; ie, Christ’s death as full payment for the penalty due for our sins.]
He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. He His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree. He died for the ungodly. He died the Just One for the unjust. He appeared in our nature, took our place, “was made under the law,” and endured its curse. He has put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself; and because, by His obedience and death, He hath magnified the law, God is well pleased with all who believe in His name “for His righteousness’ sake.
 [John 19:30Isaiah 53:51 Pet. 2:24Rom. 5:6,Gal. 4:42 Pet. 1:17Isaiah 42:21]
