I think there is something beautiful about the process of understanding the gospel. The process of me realizing that I need a savior and that I have one in Jesus. With each success and failure, and in every relationship, I understand it deeper. I like that I need the gospel, because that need is met in Jesus. My function is to bring glory to God through Jesus. I don’t like that I can’t impress God on my own, and sometimes don’t even want to. There is an ongoing process of realizing this truth about myself, which I don’t always appreciate. What I have to be reminded is that Jesus got me to “that point”. The process that I don’t like is the process that Jesus went through to get me to the end result, a relationship with my Creator. I have the benefits of having favor with God without going through the process.
