This is day 1 week #3. The speaker for this week is David Bauman the director of Lebanon YWAM base. The topic for the week is God's Grace.
I always believed that I was completely forgiven and that I did not have to do anything but believe that Jesus is the Son of God and obey his word in as much as possible.It was absolutely vindicating to hear David talk on the topic. He said things in a manner I had not heard or thought of. He used the scripture Col 2:6-19 to show that the old covenant is gone and the new covenant is all that matters. David said that the Law (old covenant ) was given to show man that he cannot live by it. It is impossible for man to perform at a high enough level to satisfy God. The death and resurection of Jesus was all the sacrifice that was required for the salvation of man. There is no amount of works or things we can do to make God love us any more than he already does.
The reason we want to DO for God's kingdom is because of our love for him.
It is not that I believed otherwise, it is just that it felt so good to actually see the scriptures that said all that.
The next thing I had never thought of was that there were no chairs in the Holiest of Holies. The work ther was never done it went on 24x7x365. The new covenant took care of all that too. We are told in scripture that Jesus seated us with him.
It truly was an eye opening day. Praise God.

And you now when Jesus was on the cross, he said "It is finished, and went to heaven following that time and was seated on the right side of the Father, he is able to sit because his sacrifice was all we need. Praise God, the work is done for salvation. But now we need to share that blessed word with others.
I love you dear, Janet
