- Blamelessness Is A Matter Of Receiving Family Status As Sons And Daughters.
Scripture: Ephesians 1:4, 1 John 3:20
This verse says, “…just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,…” We are declared blameless. We are blameless because Jesus paid the price for us to be blameless. The Blood of Christ offers another relational aspect of the Lord taking up residence in us which is the fruit of holiness, which is blamelessness. The down-payment on redemption that we receive from the Blood of Jesus makes us blameless. This is an issue that allows us to have faith and to walk with God the Father as His sons and daughters. Being blameless is very, very important. It is more than just acknowledging an eternal truth it is a matter of receiving Family status as sons and daughters. It is an invitation to freedom through relationship. It is foundational for growth and realizing our fullness of purpose. Blamelessness is a seed for the transformation that comes with redemption. It is a catalyst for the dismantling the deception and manipulation that are by-products of shame, guilt, and accusations that keep us immature and vulnerable. Blamelessness extracts the arrows of blame, shame, and guilt and will grow us to the place of accepting the status of sons and daughters of the King! 1 John 3:20 says, “If our heart does not condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.” Faith to walk with God requires that we receive and accept blamelessness.
- God wants His people refined in their thoughts, speech and actions. Pray that God will refine you, your family, your relationships, the church, with His refiner’s fire and purge you as silver (Mal 3:2-3)
- Recognize that when God starts the refining process, it may be painful. The dross of your life may come to prominence. Do not be discouraged. God will only allow you to go through the refining fire when He sees enough precious, Godly stuff to warrant purification. Pray for the grace to recognize that there is good coming out of your seasons of trial. (1 Pet 1:7 (amp), Job 23:10-12)
