What our Lord wants us to present to Him is not goodness, nor honesty, nor endeavor, but real solid sin; that is all He can take from us. And what does He give in exchange for our sin? Real solid righteousness.
From Galatians 2:20: “And it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Well this is interesting…what am I offering up to God? Not my “holiness” but rather my sin. Hmm…this I need to think about…makes good sense…lightbulb just turned on.
As always, thank you Mr. B. 😊🙏🏻

Nina, I appreciate you sharing some thoughts. I agree that the words of Oswald Chambers sometimes make us “think” more than usual. I found his message to be filled with deeper meaning.
