Paul speaks in Col 1:28,29 about a new energy that motivates Him to labour more urgently than ever before .... this motivation has its origin, not in a sence of lack, but in the conviction that every man can be presented complete in Him. I love Francois' translation of this scripture: 1:28 This is the essence and focus of our message; we awaken every man’s mind instructing every individual, bringing them into full enlightenment in order that we may exhibit the whole of mankind as perfect (without shortcoming and fully efficient) in Christ. 1:29 To accomplish this, I am laboring beyond the point of exhaustion striving with intense resolve with all the energy that He mightily inspires within me.

There is nothing that inspires and motivates more than the awareness of favour. When you understand that you are loved, you are inspired to love back in whatever way possible. If our focus is to "lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me" Phil 3:12, to fully realise the extent of His achievement on our behalf - we will like Paul count all our own efforts and achievements as rubbish in the light of knowing Him. True satisfaction comes from beholding Him...and discovering that we are in Him...awake in His likeness...wake up to who you really are. What a wonderful reminder. Very encouraging!

I think that we still need to consciously consider ourselves dead to sin and that this necessitates a level of self-control and discipline. What I mean by this is that it's necessary not to become passive in our thinking. We need to consciously remain focussed on the conclusion in Christ - that we died with Him and have are NOW literally free, accepted, alive in God. No further effort required. Then, after starting out from here, it's important to remain in the truth, focused on Him. I'm convinced that as we do this God wants to transform our characters so that we are able to think more and more like He does helping us to live in unbroken fellowship with Him. I really feel that since I got to know Jesus 7 1/2 years ago, I've been on a journey with Him and part of this journey has been a transformation going on inside of me which God has initiated. So, whilst I don't think we need earn our way to this amazing truth, I think we need to be proactive and focused in our thinking, also keeping the 'old man' in check (but not focussing on the flesh!) if you know what I mean?! What do you think? Steve This is a wonderful truth to get a hold of, thanks for sharing this Andre.
