Gospel Reflections #566: 180 degrees turn of the heart

Galatians 6:14 "But I have nothing to boast in but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. For by this cross the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."

Paul witnessed the love of Jesus, which turned his life 180 degrees in the complete opposite direction.

Paul told people what Jesus had done for him, what kind of person he was, and his decision to set up the life of Christ.

Every time we too are touched by God's love we hardly realize it, but we are certainly changed.

The more we learn about God's love and His plan for our salvation, the more we want to follow Jesus.

Without Jesus' work, we would not be alive today.

The more we feel this, the more we look up to Jesus instead of to ourselves.

And just as Jesus became a bridge between us and our Heavenly Father, we can become a bridge to connect those who do not yet know Him to Him.

Our life is no longer ours, but Jesus', and it is not our life that disappears, but our life that bears the fruit of new life through Jesus.
