He Has Made You Blameless

Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

~ Colossians 1:22 ~

For so many of us when we accepted and confessed Christ as our Lord and Savior (or "got saved"), we act like we were entering into some "agreement" with God that allows us into heaven. We act like there is a contractual obligation on our part that requires us to rid our lives of all the dirtiness (bad stuff like smoking, drinking, swearing, enter whatever your vice is) that God wouldn't want in heaven. So we spend wasted time trying to figure out what we should do better or stop doing altogether, so that we can meet the standard that allows us to enter in to God's presence.

From our skewed lens that we view God through, we somehow believe that we "get it". That somehow the plan can't be as simple as He says it is. But it is. He, through no effort of yours, has already completed the work for you to be presented blameless in His presence. The atoning work of Christ crucified on the cross reconciles, or restores, you to Him. In that work of Christ, GOD brings you into HIS own presence without a single fault. It's already done. You have to do nothing but come to Him.

He has made you blameless, so #ApproachGod.
