He is Faithful

1 Thess 5:23,24 …your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless…Faithful is he that calls you, who also will do it.

Standing before God without blame. Without guilt or fault seems like an impossibility considering our human frailties. We are so prone to give in to our human weakness and taking sides against ourselves does not come natural. God has called us to live a life that is without sin. It is a standard that seems to be unreachable considering the world we live in with all the bad influences we are surrounded with each day. How is this possible? Is it just something we strive for, or is it a life we can actually live? The scripture indicates that such a life is possible only when we submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit leads and empowers the believer to trust in God and guides them into truth. If we quench not the Spirit, He is faithful to keep us blameless, without spot or wrinkled. It is the blood of Christ that atones for our sin, but our will must stay submitting when the Spirit leads us. To refuse the Spirits, is to quench the Spirit. The Faithfulness of God will always be there, but we must believe that He is faithful.
