The Christian is not to be characterized as someone who takes, but as someone who gives. After all, “God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him might not perish, but have eternal life!” Giving to help others is what makes us like God. God is a good and generous God. He gave His best for us. So the point here is not so much as to be useful, but to be useful for the sake of others – to give to help others in need.

When you hold firm to the gospel, you stay connected to your power source for the Christian life. When you hold fast to the gospel you no longer have to prove yourself to God, for you are already approved by God through Jesus. When you hold fast to the gospel, you don’t have to keep trying to be righteous, because you are already righteous of Christ. You no longer need to perform out of your flesh, because God is now working in you to will and to act according His good pleasure. Your power to obey,our power to live and shine like Jesus comes from holding firm to the gospel.

One of the best benefits of our new union in Christ is that each one of us has the potential to change and become like Jesus. You no longer have to be controlled by selfish or sinful desires: You can experience victory over anger, greed, lust, hatred, drunkenness, discontent, anxiety and fear. The reason we can experience victory, the reason we have this potential to change because God has put His Spirit in us.

When you spend time in the shadow of the cross, you are not looking down at anyone else, but looking up to the one who gave you mercy for your sin.
