Only God can transform a sinful soul into a masterpiece of grace -
Mathew 5:43-48) 48 - be perfect therefore as your Heavenly Father is perfect!"
Why should we love our enemies? Because our merciful Father causes the sun to rise on the evil and the Good. Why store up treasure in Heaven? Because the Father lives there and will lavishly reward us. Why live without fear and Worry? Because the same God who clothes the lilies and the grass of the field has promised to take care of us. Why pray? If an earthly Father gives his son bread or fish, how much more will the Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask?
Jesus gave the sermon on the mount (MATHEW 5:7) not only to explain GOD's ideal towards which we should never stop striving but also to show in this life none of us will ever reach that ideal!
Before God, we will stand on level ground: murderers and tantrum-throwers, adulterers and those who lust, thieves and coveters. We are all desperate, and that is the only state appropriate to a human being who wants to know God. Having fallen from the absolute ideal, we have nowhere to land except but in the safety net of Absolute Grace!
Thank you, Father, in Jesus name, I pray for All AMEN "!
