Good morning. I have said it before, but I think I will put it out there yet again: That we believe in God is reasonable, logical, normal, and right. God reveals Himself constantly through His creation and through His acts of power and grace. Of course we should believe in Him!
But this is the hard part: God believes in me and in you. What! How could such a wise God make such a serious blunder? How could God choose to believe in us when we have demonstrated all too often that we are not worthy of Him?
And yet, He does. God has chosen ordinary Christian people to share His message of grace and to be His ambassadors to the world. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthians 5:18-20
God knows everything about you, and He chose you. There is nothing you have done that He isn’t aware of, and He committed to you the most important task in the universe, to be His spokesperson and ambassador.
Think about it…God believes in you! How is this possible? Because He doesn’t remember your sins as you do. He has cast them as far as the east is from the west and remembers them no more. (Psalm 103:12) When God looks upon us, He sees that we have been washed by the blood of the Lamb. He sees that we are reconciled to Himself, no longer His enemies but now His friends. We remember failures, He sees the work of Jesus.
You are His choice. I would suggest that we do our best not to argue with God.
