"For there is no doer but He."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 11)
God is the doer. He did not leave one single part of our salvation or ultimate existence up to us. He does and did it all. Christ from the cross said 'It is finished.' He completed the work of our salvation. He rescued us, saved us, redeemed us, reconciled us, restored us, freed us, liberated us. He did all the work that we could not do, and He did all the work so there is nothing left for us to do. We are already in the kingdom of God, not trying to get there. We are already freed from bondage to sin, law, condemnation and death. We are safe. Our position is secure. All will turn out right. The happy ending is certain. He took complete responsibility for us, His dearly beloved creation. And so all that went wrong here on earth He came and repaired Himself, and we will all see the glorious result of that repair! It is such a relief that our salvation is not up to us. It is such a relief that we cannot mess up this wonderful salvation. It is such a relief that it is done and we are already safe and sound. It is such a relief that all we felt was keeping us from a perfect relationship with God is already eliminated. He alone is the doer - therefore, it is done!
"God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity He put us in right standing with Himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where He always wanted us to be. And He did it by means of Jesus Christ."
Romans 3:24 (MSG)
A Prayer: Thank You for taking care of everything for me, my life, and my salvation!
