What Counts

If my obedience counts to God, then it must also count to me. Living as a believer means keeping God's commands, which means we walk as Jesus walked.

The flesh wants you to believe that you can manufacture the life of God on your own. But the flesh doesn't count in our salvation, nor in our spiritual growth and maturity. The only thing that counts is living as new creations that are led by God's Spirit.

What the Gospel teaches us is that God does count our sins, but He doesn't count them against us because of Jesus. We need to stop counting our sins and start counting the opportunities to be an ambassador for Christ.

Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday wasn't only about Him coming to take Caesar's place; He entered Jerusalem that day to take humanity's place.
