What Has Jesus Done For Me?

Many Christians wear the bracelets saying, What would Jesus do? This becomes the motivation for them on what they should do. The question is, What has Jesus done for me? The motivation for godly living is His Performance not MY Performances. Don't look for something to do to gain God's Acceptance. Receive what He has freely given in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is not Be Like Jesus. It is Receive from Jesus.

Jesus says If you love me you will keep my commandments (John 14:15)Obedience is the test of love. Obedience is an evidence of love not the cause of love. Love is the cause of obedience. When we are struggling with obedience we immediately start trying to adjust our behaviors. Problems with obedience is not with our behaviors it's with our love. This goes back to the source, we love God because He first loved us. Where do we find the greatest expression of that love? It is in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. It is in His atoning death and glorious ressurection.Jesus Christ alone in the perfection of His Work and the Glory of His Person is the Sum and Substance of the Christian Faith. Therefore, this is God's greatest expression of love toward His people.

What would Jesus do, places your focus on YOUR Performances. What has Jesus done for me, places the focus on HIS Performance, which ignites our LOVE FOR HIM and produces obedience to HIM. What He has done for me is the ROOT that leads to FRUIT. Get your eyes off of your FRUIT and fix them on the ROOT. The question is WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR ME?
