For the Christian, “God bless you” is a call to remember all God has done for us in Christ, to delight in the benefits of life and salvation in him, and to be the covenant people he has made us to be by the power of the Holy Spirit.

As Christians, we are not called to just sit back and watch events unfold around us until we get to heaven. We are called to make every effort to do the work of the kingdom in whatever form that takes in our lives.

The people of God walk by faith and not by sight. We don’t need to see the answer to an impossible question before we take the next step. We simply need to trust the one who is guiding our lives and be obedient to what he has already revealed about himself and who we are to be in light of that revelation.

God’s desire for your life and mine is far greater than mere sin management. He is not asking for perfect performance. He is asking for your heart. All of it. Everything you are able to offer in this moment. Nothing more. Nothing less.

God invites His people into a relationship, but what kind? For many, we have a religious impulse that seeks to earn God’s attention or favor through good works. Others completely disregard any moral outflow of following God. In reality, God invites us to participate in His new covenant that sets his people radically free from not only the guilt but the power of sin.
