For many years, I never realized that becoming more like Christ could be a joyful pursuit. I guess I never understood biblical sanctification, but over the past year or so, I have come to a greater understanding of freedom in Christ. Not the freedom to do what I want, but rather the freedom to obey God joyfully and without fear or condemnation!
I just read the first chapter of How Can I Change? by C.J. Mahaney & Robin Boisvert and I understand more that perfection and maturity is our goal (Matthew 5:48). We cannot attain it in this life, but nonetheless it MUST be our pursuit--a joyful, hopeful pursuit (1 John 3:2-3)!
Help me Lord to make perfection and maturity a joyful and hopeful pursuit!
