While preparing my paper for class I ran across this quote from R.C. Sproul concerning the supremacy and lordship of Jesus Christ and thought it was powerful enough to share.
“God, who created heaven and earth, has made Christ the Lord of the universe. He rules; He does not wait for us to invite Him. He rules us whether or not we want Him to rule. We can be hostile to Hi reign; we can be renegades in His dominion; we may fight against His just empowerment as the King fo kings and Lord of lords, but all of that does not reduce Him to impotency. Our attempts to supplant Him as Lord are impotent because God has decreed His Lordship. “
If God’s desire for our lives is for us to be holy and to live for Him and be obedient to His will, it is no wonder we struggle when we try to do things on our own, in our own strength, we are essentially battling against the will of God in our lives to have control over our actions, thoughts, etc. That seems exhausting to me. I am pretty sure that if there is someone I want “on my side” in life it’s the One who believes in me the most and has only lofty thoughts of me; the One who loves me unconditionally, and whose desire is for me to be my best because of the work of the Holy spirit in me.
I would rather answer the call to holiness and have battle waged against the power of darkness as opposed to battle against God and His perfect love and will for my life.
Whose with me?
