GOD’S COMMITMENT

Ezekiel 36 (Amplified Bible)
24For I will [a]take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land. 25Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you. 26A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them. 28And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be My people, and I will be your God. 29I will also save you from all your uncleannesses, and I will call forth the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine on you.
The most powerful force of all ages is the Love of God. The Love of God is a product of His Personality and not a reward for man’s faithfulness.
It’s amazing to know and come to the understanding of the desire of God to have man back to Him even when man saw no need for God! After man fell in the garden of in the garden, God foretold the deliverance that would come through the Seed of the Woman, it’s worthy of observation that Man didn’t ask for a savior, the promise of a savior was out borne of God’s extravagant Love to redeem man from the fallen state.
Here in the book of Ezekiel, God again revealed to the Prophet how much He would be committed to the salvation of His people. God revealed that He would be the doer, not man. He would do a heart transplant and remove the heart of stone. The heart of Stone represented the dominion of that which was engraved on stone – the Law. After removing the law, He would implant a new Spirit which is the Holy Spirit. The ultimate plan of God is for man to be led and ruled by the same Spirit of God. What an amazing Love!
Also, God said HE WOULD MOVE MAN TO FOLLOW HIS DECREES AND BE CAREFUL TO KEEP HIS LAWS! I thought it was supposed to be man’s responsibility to follow but surprisingly, God said He will MOVE man to do, man do no longer need to struggle to do, the doing is God’s own responsibility! This is so thrilling!!
As if that was not enough God also PROMISED TO SAVE MAN FROM ALL UNCLEANNESSES, little wonder why Apostle Jude said in his Epistle in JUDE 24; Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]
My dear, God is able and willing to keep you from falling, He’s ever ready to present you blameless, all you’ve got to do is to loose your grip on your strength and ability, hold fast to Him. He’s the author and finisher of your Faith.
The most potent grip is God’s grip on you! He’s got your back, the Christian life is primarily about God because He initiated it and He’s also committed to perfecting it! Why the stress? God doesn’t joke with His promise. Believe in the integrity of His word for faithful is He who has promised!
Enough of struggle with self and sin, the Holy Spirit is in you. He’s ready to carry out the father’s will and desire in you! Your righteousness before Him is but a filthy rag, open up yourself to Him and you shall be made whole.
Christ has been made unto you JUSTIFICATION, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SANCTIFICATION and WISDOM!
Happy New Week
I Call you blessed!!
