Finding Security in Jesus as Your Perfect Mediator | Psalm 106

The weird thing about the Christian life is that the more you are walking in the light and the truth of God’s word, the more you are aware of your sin. You’re more aware that your sinfulness sinks its roots in your life far deeper than you realize. It gets weirder yet when your awareness of your sinfulness actually brings a sense of joy and security in all that God is for you in Jesus. It makes you more secure in your relationship with God when you finally realize it’s all based on Jesus being your perfect mediator rather than your having to become more worthy. Personally I have found it to be peace giving and joy giving and gratitude giving to worship God by meditating on and praying through biblical verses about Jesus as my perfect mediator before God. And that’s the subject of this episode. In the past few episodes we’ve discussed three things you have to believe if you want to walk with God: 1. That God’s word/promises are true.  2. That he loves you specifically with an abundant infinite steadfast love.  3. And that his will for you ultimately is your good. Your only good. Your better story.  These three reasons are why you can trust him completely. (Like this podcast? Leave us a rating so others can find it more easily.
