Question:
It must be a joy to serve God with gladness, knowing that one’s life has been cleansed from sin. However, I cannot understand how such a condition can be obtained.
Answer:
What if you cannot understand? Must you wait for that? You sow a seed in the ground; do you truly understand how soil, sunshine, and moisture are transformed into wheat and corn? Yet it happens. Do you wish to know the teachings of Christ within yourself? Here is God’s answer through His Son: “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine.” (John 7:17).
You can do this. You may choose God’s way—self-denial, the humility of Christ, and surrendering all things to God—to become what He will make you and to do what He commands you to do. If you do this, believing that all He has promised will be fulfilled in you, you will experience the joy, peace, and blessings of life.
Prove John 7:17 and believe that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—your Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption. (John 14:6; 1 Cor. 1:30). Believe, simply believe. (Mark 9:23).
