The Gospel Centered Relationship

As I experience the life of being in Christ, I realize that life is war...the road that leads to life is narrow. Every now and then I struggle with the prince of this world, with the world itself and even struggle with my inner being. They were my allies but now they have become my enemies. And they (Satan, world, and self) joined forces to throw some fiery darts and arrows towards me that brings fear and hopelessness.

But thanks be to God that the supply of the glorious gospel of Christ is abundant and never ending. O what a great comfort to know that the glorious gospel of Christ reminded me that Christ has paid all of my sins. That is why no matter how plenty the accusation of Satan upon me, the cross of Christ reassured me that '...there is....now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' (Rom 8:1)

Therefore, let's bear one another's weaknesses and be patient with someone today for Christ bore our sins and patient in dealing with our sins and weaknesses daily.
