Summarized Excerpt of Crazy Love…Chap 5
“Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.”
Lamentations 3:23
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
We are not called to perfection! There is room for our shortcomings, and God’s grace is sufficient and his mercies are fresh every morning!
We are willing to make changes in our lives only if we think it effects our salvation…not our relationship with Christ.
Can I go to Heaven without faithfull and truely love Jesus?
John 14:15, 1John 2:3-4, Matthew 16:24-25, Luke 14:33
Called to more than just good theology. James 2:19
Francis Chan says this, “Everyone of us has luke warm elements and practices in their lives…distinction is perfection which no one will obtain on this earth and a posture of obedience and surrender where a person perpetually moves towards Christ.”
If salvation meant we had to be perfect or achieve perfection none would be worthy. It isn’t about anything we can do! It isn’t about any actions or works we have or have not done! It is all about relationship, to desire a relationship with our Savior and King!
I recommend everyone to read this book! Crazy Love by Francis Chan.
