Acts 20:24 Explained

Through this verse, God showed me that He enables me to live a life of purpose.

That is: A life that testifies to the gospel of the grace of God. 

In order to testify, one must acknowledge something. Living a "Christian" life is not enough. I must also acknowledge that this Christian life is a product of the great I AM that is living within me. 

1 Corinthians 15:10 Explained

God used this verse from 1 Corinthians 15:10 to show me that He is my righteousness. With my mouth I say the good I do is to glorify Him, but unless I beleive that with all of my heart my lips are lying. 

The truth is, I found that I had stepped away from loving and glorifying Him alone because I had become caught up in the actions themselves. Like the Old Testament saints, I was "serving" God with empty obedience rather than loving Him with a humble heart. 

The process was all wrong. Actions mean nothing if they are not rooted in a love for God.

The solution: Take my eyes off of "i am" and place them on the great I AM.
