christianity circle

Rather than seeing sanctification as a linear progression from bad to better, the Christian life is more accurately described circularly; we return again and again to the cross. And Jesus, the perfect law-keeper, extends mercy, forgiveness, and Spirit-empowered grace for obedience.

Reading Resurgence blog came across this little snippet from Matt Johnson. It was very timely for me because I was feeling a sense of fear and dread at the coming year after reflecting on the year just gone. So much failure and so much to work on - will this year be the same? Glad I read this - so much hope, forgiveness and grace through Jesus! I pray that God will continue to remind me of this throughout the coming year.
