Steve Brown on Obedience
Christians are too often obsessed with sin. You know it’s true. An outsider would think it’s all we care about — being pure and holy. If an unbeliever is asked about what we do, he or she will probably say something like, “Those Christians are miserable and won’t be happy until everyone else is miserable too.”
My guilt… has only one purpose, and that isn’t to make me better; it’s to send me to Him, the only one who loves me, forgives me, and will accept me no matter where I’ve been, what I’ve done, or where I’m going.
Obedience really is more difficult than I thought it was. But God’s grace is a lot bigger than I thought it was too. Again, the secret to getting better is simply to recognize how difficult it is to get better, go to Jesus with it, and tell everybody we know that we’ve been to him and why we went there.
When we do that, not only do we get better… everybody else does too.
