While we were still sinners Christ died for us to be one with God. Our
spirit men are made perfect while our souls and bodies are being renewed.
Even if there is only one soul left on earth, Christ will still die for
that ONE soul. We are saved not because we are good and obedient and
deserving. We are saved because Jesus had done the saving. The perfect One
had taken our place of transgression to make us sons of God.
We are not perfect as far as our thoughts and behaviours and actions are
concerned. However, we are completely complete in Christ. He had redeemed
us from the curse of the law. He had placed us at the right hand of God.
Because of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ at the cross some two
thousand years ago, we can have whatever we ask or think of. I am not
referring to wanting another person's spouse. I am talking about the
necessities of our daily living.
If we need a big car because the family has need of it, God will provide
the resources for us to buy it. If we are in need of physical healing in
certain area of our bodies, Jesus will heal that area of concerned. If
there is a need to mend broken relationship, Jesus is the superglue who
will make the relationship wonderful. If we need to get out of a difficult
situation, Jesus will turn thing around for our good.
The perfect One had done it all at the cross. He proclaimed "It is
finished!". Whatever the imperfect ones, that's us, desire, the perfect
will see to it, in His perfect timing, that it is done. In spite of our
imperfections, we are already perfect in Christ. Hallelujah!
